After upgrading the version of a provider in Terraform, what is the next step?

Upgrading the version of a provider in Terraform typically requires you to ensure that your local Terraform workspace is up-to-date with the changes from the new version of the provider. The command to accomplish this is terraform init -upgrade.

This command not only initializes your working directory but also upgrades the provider plugins to the latest versions that are compatible with your configuration. If you have specified a new version of a provider in your configuration file, running this command will download the upgraded version and make it available for your Terraform operations.

Using the -upgrade flag specifically ensures that Terraform looks for newer versions of the provider and updates them accordingly, aligning your current setup with any enhancements or breaking changes that may have been introduced in the new provider version. This is crucial for maintaining compatibility and taking advantage of new features or bug fixes in the provider.

In contrast, the other options do not directly address the need to update the provider:

• Destroying the infrastructure would not be an appropriate next step after a provider upgrade, as the goal is typically to maintain or enhance the current infrastructure.

• Running terraform refresh would update the Terraform state file with the real infrastructure's current state, but it doesn't perform the necessary updates to provider plugins.

• While running `terraform apply
