You corrected the count variable value and saved your change. What should you do next to apply the changes?

• A. Inspect your Terraform state because you want to change it
• B. Run an apply and confirm the planned changes
• C. Reinitialize because your configuration has changed
• D. Inspect all Terraform outputs to make sure they are correct

Answer: (B)

Applying the changes to bring the infrastructure in line with the updated configuration is the next step. When you adjust a variable like count, Terraform determines what resources must be created or destroyed to match the new desired state. Running apply executes that plan and updates the real infrastructure accordingly. It’s best to review the proposed changes first, then confirm to proceed. Reinitialization isn’t needed unless you’ve changed providers, modules, or backends, and simply inspecting state or outputs won’t apply changes.
