HashiCorp Terraform 004 HCP Guide

HashiCorp Terraform 004 HCP guide covering workspaces, governance, projects, variables, and integrations decisions.

This chapter matters because HashiCorp explicitly includes HCP Terraform on the 004 exam. Older prep often underweights it. The exam wants you to distinguish local CLI behavior from what HCP Terraform adds for remote runs, collaboration, governance, and organization.
