Terraform state validation workflow

In the context of [[GCP]] infrastructure management, specifically for [[GKE]] upgrades, a specific Terraform state validation and drift detection workflow is employed to ensure alignment between the local configuration and the live cloud environment^[400-devops-05-cloud-provider-gcp.md].

Workflow Sequence

The process begins with standard initialization and authentication steps, specifically invoking gcloud auth login and terraform init^[400-devops-05-cloud-provider-gcp.md].

Following initialization, the core validation step is performed using terraform refresh^[400-devops-05-cloud-provider-gcp.md]. This command is explicitly used to confirm that the current Terraform state matches the actual resources deployed in [[GCP]]^[400-devops-05-cloud-provider-gcp.md].
