QUESTION: 78

Which backend does the Terraform CLI use by default?

Terraform Cloud
Consul
Remote
Local

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

"By default, Terraform implicitly uses a backend called local to store state as a local file on disk. Every other backend stores state in a remote service of some kind, which allows multiple people to access it. Accessing state in a remote service generally requires some kind of access credentials, since state data contains extremely sensitive information." https://www.terraform.io/language/settings/backends

QUESTION: 79

When you initialize Terraform, where does it cache modules from the public Terraform Module Registry?

On disk in the /tmp directory
In memory
On disk in the .terraform sub-directory
They are not cached

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

"A hidden .terraform directory, which Terraform uses to manage cached provider plugins and modules, record which workspace is currently active, and record the last known backend configuration in case it needs to migrate state on the next run. This directory is automatically managed by Terraform, and is created during initialization." https://www.terraform.io/cli/init
