What the exam emphasizes (at a glance)

• Core workflow: init → plan → apply → destroy, plans vs targeted applies, drift detection.
• State & backends: local vs remote, locking, state mv/rm/taint-equivalents, refresh/import.
• Variables & outputs: types, validation, sensitive values, locals, tfvars precedence.
• Modules: structure, version pinning, registries, composition, input/output wiring.
• Providers & auth: configuration, version constraints, multiple providers/aliases, cloud auth patterns.
• Workspaces & environments: when to use, naming, pitfalls vs separate state.
• Policy & safety: lifecycle, depends_on, -target trade-offs, sentinel/policy-as-code (awareness), code review & plans.
• Terraform Cloud/Enterprise (awareness): remote runs, VCS integration, variables, workspaces, state management.

Tip: Pair practice with a tiny lab. Use a remote state backend and version-pin modules/providers to make decisions in questions feel automatic.
