    Automated infrastructure deployment visualization
  2. B
    Automatic backups
  3. C
    Remote state storage
  4. D
    A web-based user interface (UI)

Correct Answer:
BC
Reference:

Question #42
Where does the Terraform local backend store its state?
  1. A
    In the /tmp directory
  2. B
    In the terraform file
  3. C
    In the terraform.tfstate file
  4. D
    In the user's terraform.state file

Correct Answer:
C
The local backend stores state on the local filesystem, locks that state using system APIs, and performs operations locally.

Question #43
Which option can not be used to keep secrets out of Terraform configuration files?
  1. A
    A Terraform provider
  2. B
    Environment variables

Question #44
What is one disadvantage of using dynamic blocks in Terraform?
  1. A
    They cannot be used to loop through a list of values
  2. B
    Dynamic blocks can construct repeatable nested blocks
  3. C
    They make configuration harder to read and understand
  4. D
    Terraform will run more slowly

Correct Answer:
A

Question #45
Only the user that generated a plan may apply it.
  1. A
    True
  2. B
    False

Correct Answer:
B
chatbot-img GPT-4o - Answer
Absolutely, B is spot on! A Terraform plan isn't locked to the user who created it. For practicality in team scenarios or automated systems, plans are often prepared and saved by one process or individual and then executed by another. This flexibility is crucial for collaborative projects or complex CI/CD pipelines where different stages might be handled by different entities or even systems. This method enhances workflow smoothness and integration in diverse environments. Remember, Terraform's infrastructure as code model is designed to support this kind of operational agility.

Question #46
Examine the following Terraform configuration, which uses the data source for an AWS AMI.
What value should you enter for the ami argument in the AWS instance resource?

  1. A
    aws_ami.ubuntu
  2. B
    data.aws_ami.ubuntu
  3. C
    data.aws_ami.ubuntu.id
  4. D
    aws_ami.ubuntu.id

Correct Answer:
C
resource "aws_instance" "web" {
ami = data.aws_ami.ubuntu.id
Reference:
https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/instance

Question #47
FILL BLANK -
You need to specify a dependency manually.
What resource meta-parameter can you use to make sure Terraform respects the dependency?
Type your answer in the field provided. The text field is not case-sensitive and all variations of the correct answer are accepted.

Correct Answer:
depends_on
chatbot-img GPT-4o - Answer
If you're looking to manually specify a dependency in Terraform, the 'depends_on' meta-argument is your go-to tool. This allows you to explicitly dictate that certain resources or modules must be processed prior to executing actions on the current resource or module in question. Essentially, it ensures related resources are tackled in the correct sequence, maintaining a smooth and error-free deployment.

Question #48
You have never used Terraform before and would like to test it out using a shared team account for a cloud provider. The shared team account already contains
15 virtual machines (VM). You develop a Terraform configuration containing one VM, perform terraform apply, and see that your VM was created successfully.
What should you do to delete the newly-created VM with Terraform?
  1. A
    The Terraform state file contains all 16 VMs in the team account. Execute terraform destroy and select the newly-created VM.
  2. B
    The Terraform state file only contains the one new VM. Execute terraform destroy.
  3. C
    Delete the Terraform state file and execute Terraform apply.
  4. D
    Delete the VM using the cloud provider console and terraform apply to apply the changes to the Terraform state file.

Correct Answer:
B
chatbot-img GPT-4o - Answer
When using Terraform and you've set up just a single new VM within a configuration, executing `terraform destroy` will only affect resources Terraform managed in that configuration. Since the state file for this particular configuration includes only the new VM you've added and none of the pre-existing 15 VMs, this command ensures only the newly created VM is targeted and deleted. This method avoids unintended disruptions on other resources not managed in this specific Terraform setup. Remember, Terraform’s operations are scoped tightly to the resources its configuration file defines.

Question #49
What is the name assigned by Terraform to reference this resource?

  1. A
    dev
  2. B
    azurerm_resource_group
  3. C
    azurerm
  4. D
    test

Correct Answer:
A

Question #50
Setting the TF_LOG environment variable to DEBUG causes debug messages to be logged into syslog.
  1. A
    True
  2. B
    False

Correct Answer:
A
