Question

A developer manages three AWS S3 buckets in a single Terraform configuration. To decommission just one bucket, they delete its resource block from the .tf file and run `terraform apply`. The other two buckets must remain untouched. What will Terraform do?

Accepted Answer

Destroy only the bucket whose resource block was removed, leaving the other two buckets unchanged

Answer

Destroy all three buckets because the configuration was modified

Answer

Ignore the removal and keep all three buckets until `terraform destroy` is run

Answer

Return an error requiring the developer to use `terraform state rm` first
