You must use different Terraform commands depending on the cloud provider you use.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It depends on the backend
• D. Only for certain providers

Answer: (B)

The commands you run with Terraform are the same no matter which cloud provider you’re targeting. Terraform’s CLI is provider-agnostic: you write your configuration with a provider block (for example, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.), and the appropriate provider plugin handles the API differences behind the scenes. When you run the typical workflow—terraform init to set up providers and backends, terraform plan to preview changes, terraform apply to enact them, and terraform destroy to tear things down—the sequence doesn’t change based on the cloud provider. The backend determines where state is stored, not which commands you use, so the same command set applies across providers. Therefore the statement is false.
