Answer: B

Explanation:

Terraform is able to import existing infrastructure. This allows you to take resources you’ve created by some other means and bring it under Terraform management.

This is a great way to slowly transition infrastructure to Terraform or to be sure you’re

confident that you can use Terraform in the future if it currently doesn’t support every AWS

service or feature you need today.
