You must use different Terraform commands depending on the cloud provider you use.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

You do not need to use different Terraform commands depending on the cloud provider you use. Terraform commands are consistent across different providers, as they operate on the Terraform configuration files and state files, not on the provider APIs directly.

From Terraform CLI Overview:

"Terraform provides a consistent CLI workflow regardless of which cloud or service you're managing."

Thesame Terraform commandswork across all providers via plugins.



As a member of an operations team that uses infrastructure as code (lac) practices, you are tasked with making a change to an infrastructure stack running in a public cloud.
Which pattern would follow laC best practices for making a change?

  1. Make the change via the public cloud API endpoint
  2. Clone the repository containing your infrastructure code and then run the code
  3. Use the public cloud console to make the change after a database record has been approved
  4. Make the change programmatically via the public cloud CLI
  5. Submit a pull request and wait for an approved merge of the proposed changes

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

You do not need to use different Terraform commands depending on the cloud provider you use. Terraform commands are consistent across different providers, as they operate on the Terraform configuration files and state files, not on the provider APIs directly.



You ate making changes to existing Terraform code to add some new infrastructure.
When is the best time to run terraform validate?

  1. After you run terraform apply so you can validate your infrastructure
  2. Before you run terraform apply so you can validate your provider credentials
  3. Before you run terraform plan so you can validate your code syntax
  4. After you run terraform plan so you can validate that your state file is consistent with your infrastructure

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

This is the best time to run terraform validate, as it will check your code for syntax errors, typos, and missing arguments before you attempt to create a plan. The other options are either incorrect or unnecessary.



How would you reference the volume IDs associated with the ebs_block_device blocks in this configuration?

  1. aws_instance.example.ebs_block_device[sda2,sda3).volume_id
  2. aws_lnstance.example.ebs_block_device.[*].volume_id
  3. aws_lnstance.example.ebs_block_device.volume_ids
  4. aws_instance.example-ebs_block_device.*.volume_id

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

This is the correct way to reference the volume IDs associated with the ebs_block_device blocks in this configuration, using the splat expression syntax. The other options are either invalid or incomplete.



Which command should you run to check if all code in a Terraform configuration that references multiple modules is properly formatted without making changes?

  1. terraform fmt -write-false
  2. terraform fmt -list -recursive
  3. terraform fmt -check -recursive
  4. terraform fmt -check

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

This command will check if all code in a Terraform configuration that references multiple modules is properly formatted without making changes, and will return a non-zero exit code if any files need formatting. The other commands will either make changes, list the files that need formatting, or not check the modules.
