Inspect Terraform State Overview

Terraform includes some commands for reading and updating state without taking any other actions.

• The terraform state list command shows the resource addresses for every resource Terraform knows about in a configuration, optionally filtered by partial resource address.

• The terraform state show command displays detailed state data about one resource.

• The terraform refresh command updates state data to match the real-world condition of the managed resources. This is done automatically during plans and applies, but not when interacting with state directly.
