# Terraform-Associate — Question 424

**Type:** multiple_choice
**Topics:** topic_1

## Question

The terraform.tfstate file always matches your currently built infrastructure.

## Correct Answer

_See scenario._

## Explanation

It doesn't necessarily always matches the current infrastructure, since one can manually change resources and therefore drift from the state configuration. Terraform has no way to know or track changes made outside of it.
