HashiCorp TERRAFORM-ASSOCIATE-003 Online Practice Questions and Exam Preparation

HashiCorp TERRAFORM-ASSOCIATE-003 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 181:

  Which of the following is the right substitute for static values that can make Terraform configuration file more dynamic and reusable?

  A. Output value
  B. Input parameters
  C. Functions
  D. Modules
  B. Input parameters

  ---

  Explanation

  Input variables serve as parameters for a Terraform module, allowing aspects of the module to be customized without altering the module's own source code, and allowing modules to be shared between different configurations.

• Question 182:

  Which of the following is not an advantage of using infrastructure as code operations?

  A. Self-service infrastructure deployment
  B. Troubleshoot via a Linux diff command
  C. Public cloud console configuration workflows
  D. Modify a count parameter to scale resources
  E. API driven workflows
  B. Troubleshoot via a Linux diff command

  ---

  Explanation

  terraform is used to deploy the infrastructure, not to troubleshoot it

• Question 183:

  When using providers that require the retrieval of data, such as the HashiCorp Vault provider, in what phase does Terraform actually retrieve the data required?

  A. terraform delete
  B. terraform plan
  C. terraform init
  D. terraform apply
  C. terraform init

  Explanation

• Question 184:

  Named workspaces are not a suitable isolation mechanism for strong separation between staging and production?

  A. True
  B. False
  A. True

  ---

  Explanation

  Organizations commonly want to create a strong separation between multiple deployments of the same infrastructure serving different development stages (e.g. staging vs. production) or different internal teams. In this case, the backend used for each deployment often belongs to that deployment, with different credentials and access controls. Named workspaces are not a suitable isolation mechanism for this scenario. https://www.terraform.io/docs/state/workspaces.html#when-touse-multiple-workspaces

• Question 185:

  Which of the following commands will launch the Interactive console for Terraform interpolations?

  A. terraform console
  B. terraform cli
  C. terraform
  D. terraform cmdline
  B. terraform cli

• Question 186:

  You have modified your Terraform configuration to fix a typo in the Terraform ID of a resource from aws_security_group.http to aws_security_group.http

  

  Which of the following commands would you run to update the ID in state without destroying the resource?

  A. terraform refresh
  B. terraform apply
  C. terraform mv aws-security-group.htp aws-security-group.http
  C. terraform mv aws-security-group.htp aws-security-group.http

  ---

  Explanation

  The terraform state mv command changes which resource address in your configuration is associated with a particular real-world object. Use this to preserve an object when renaming a resource, or when moving a resource into or out of a child module.

• Question 187:

  You have created a main.tr Terraform configuration consisting of an application server, a database, and a load balancer. You ran terraform apply and all resources were created successfully. Now you realize that you do not actually need the load balancer so you run terraform destroy without any flags

  What will happen?

  A. Terraform will destroy the application server because it is listed first in the code
  B. Terraform will prompt you to confirm that you want to destroy all the infrastructure
  C. Terraform will destroy the main.tf file
  D. Terraform will prompt you to pick which resource you want to destroy
  E. Terraform will immediately destroy all the infrastructure
  B. Terraform will prompt you to confirm that you want to destroy all the infrastructure

  ---

  Explanation

  This is what will happen if you run terraform destroy without any flags, as it will attempt to delete all the resources that are associated with your current working directory or workspace. You can use the -target flag to specify a particular resource that you want to destroy.

• Question 188:

  Which parameters does terraform import require? Choose two correct answers.

  A. Provider
  B. Path
  C. Resource address
  D. Resource ID
  C. Resource address
  D. Resource ID

  ---

  Explanation

  These are the parameters that terraform import requires, as they allow Terraform to identify the existing resource that you want to import into your state file, and match it with the corresponding configuration block in your files. https://www.terraform.io/cli/commands/import#usage

• Question 189:

  You want to use different AMI images for different regions and for the purpose you have defined following code block.

  1.variable "images"

  2.{

  3. type = "map"

  4.

  5. default = {

  6. us-east-1 = "image-1234"

  7. us-west-2 = "image-4567"

  8.

  us-west-1 = "image-4589"

  9.

  }

  10.}

  What of the following approaches needs to be followed in order to select image-4589?

  A. var.images["us-west-1"]
  B. var.images[3]
  C. var.images[2]
  D. lookup(var.images["us-west-1"]
  A. var.images["us-west-1"]

  Explanation

• Question 190:

  Choose the best option from below to make Terraform code more user configuration-centric.

  A. Variables

  C. Input Variable
  D. Modules
  C. Input Variable
