QUESTION: 222

If you delete a remote backend from the configuration, will you need to rebuild your state files locally?

False
True

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

You can change your backend configuration at any time. You can change both the configuration itself as well as the type of backend (for example from "consul" to "s3").
Terraform will automatically detect any changes in your configuration and request a reinitialization. As part of the reinitialization process, Terraform will ask if you'd like to migrate your existing state to the new configuration. This allows you to easily switch from one backend to another.

QUESTION: 223

During a terraform apply, a resource is successfully created but eventually fails during provisioning. What happens to the resource?

The resource will be planned for destruction and recreation upon the next terraform apply
Terraform will retry to provision again.
The failure of provisioner will be ignored and it will not cause a failure to terraform apply
The resource will be automatically destroyed.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

If a creation-time provisioner fails, the resource is marked as tainted. A tainted resource will be planned for destruction and recreation upon the next terraform apply. Terraform does this because a failed provisioner can leave a resource in a semi-configured state. Because Terraform cannot reason about what the provisioner does, the only way to ensure proper creation of a resource is to recreate it. This is tainting.
You can change this behavior by setting the on_failure attribute, which is covered in detail below. https://www.terraform.io/docs/provisioners/index.html#creation-time-provisioners
