ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
Your team is migrating the creation of cloud firewalls and subnets to an Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) workflow. Every pull request runs the command terraform plan, stores the plan file, and pauses until the security team reviews the output before the pipeline executes terraform apply. Which specific IaC benefit is being used to meet the organization's change-management and compliance requirements?
Generation of an execution plan that exposes the full infrastructure diff for pre-change review and approval.
Parameterized variables that let the same template deploy to development, test, and production.
Remote state locking to block simultaneous runs against the same workspace.
Use of reusable Terraform modules to standardize network segmentation across all environments.
The terraform plan command produces an execution plan that lists the exact actions Terraform will take (add, modify, destroy). Storing that plan in the pull request provides an auditable diff of the proposed state, allowing stakeholders to approve or reject changes before they are applied. This supports formal change-management and continuous compliance.
Reusable modules and parameterized variables improve code reuse, while remote state locking prevents concurrent updates; none of those capabilities directly provide the pre-implementation review and approval process required for compliance.
