In the 0.10 release we added an opt-in mode where Terraform would prompt interactively for confirmation during apply. We made this opt-in to give those who wrap Terraform in automation some time to update their scripts to explicitly opt out of this behavior where appropriate. Here we switch the default so that a "terraform apply" with no arguments will -- if it computes a non-empty diff -- display the diff and wait for the user to type "yes" in similar vein to the "terraform destroy" command. This makes the commonly-used "terraform apply" a safe workflow for interactive use, so "terraform plan" is now mainly for use in automation where a separate planning step is used. The apply command remains non-interactive when given an explicit plan file. The previous behavior -- though not recommended -- can be obtained by explicitly setting the -auto-approve option on the apply command line, and indeed that is how all of the tests are updated here so that they can continue to run non-interactively.
