• Question 291:

  Which method for sharing Terraform configurations fulfills the following criteria:

  1.Keeps the configurations confidential within your organization

  2.Support Terraform's semantic version constrains

  3.Provides a browsable directory

  A. Subfolder within a workspace
  B. Generic git repository
  C. Terraform Cloud private registry
  D. Public Terraform module registry
  C. Terraform Cloud private registry

  ---

  Explanation

  This is the method for sharing Terraform configurations that fulfills the following criteria:

  Keeps the configurations confidential within your organization Supports Terraform's semantic version constraints

  Provides a browsable directory

  The Terraform Cloud private registry is a feature of Terraform Cloud that allows you to host and manage your own modules within your organization, and use them in your Terraform configurations with versioning and access control.

• Question 292:

  What is the workflow for deploying new infrastructure with Terraform?

  A. terraform plan to import the current infrastructure to the state file, make code changes, and terraform apply to update the infrastructure
  B. Write a Terraform configuration, run terraform show to view proposed changes, and terraform apply to create new infrastructure.
  C. terraform plan to import the current infrastructure to the state file, make code changes, and terraform apply to update the infrastructure
  D. Write a Terraform configuration, run terraform init, run terraform plan to view planned infrastructure changes, and terraform apply to create new infrastructure.
  D. Write a Terraform configuration, run terraform init, run terraform plan to view planned infrastructure changes, and terraform apply to create new infrastructure.

• Question 293:

  A single terraform resource file that defines an aws_instance resource can simple be renamed to azurerm_virtual_machine in order to switch cloud providers

  A. True
  B. False
  B. False

  ---

  Explanation

  Providers usually require some configuration of their own to specify endpoint URLs, regions, authentication settings. Providers Initialization can be done by either explicitly via a provider block or by adding a resource from that provide https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/providers.html

• Question 294:

  Which one of the following command will rewrite Terraform configuration files to a canonical format and style.

  A. terraform graph-h
  B. terraform init
  C. terraform graph
  D. terraform fmt
  D. terraform fmt

  ---

  Explanation

  The terraform fmt command is used to rewrite Terraform configuration files to a canonical format and style. This command applies a subset of the Terrra Terraform language style conventions, along with other minor adjustments for readability.

• Question 295:

  A Terraform output that sets the ''sensitive'' argument to true will not store that value in the state file.

  A. True
  B. False
  B. False

• Question 296:

  Module version is required to reference a module on the Terraform Module Registry.

  A. True
  B. False
  B. False

  ---

  Explanation

  Module version is optional to reference a module on the Terraform Module Registry. If you omit the version constraint, Terraform will automatically use the latest available version of the module

• Question 297:

  Which of the below features of Terraform can be used for managing small differences between different environments which can act more like completely separate working directories.

  A. Repositories
  B. Workspaces
  C. Environment Variables
  D. Backends
  B. Workspaces

  ---

  Explanation

  workspaces allow conveniently switching between multiple instances of a single configuration within its single backend. They are convenient in a number of situations, but cannot solve all problems. A common use for multiple workspaces is to create a parallel, distinct copy of a set of infrastructure in order to test a set of changes before modifying the main production infrastructure. For example, a developer working on a complex set of infrastructure changes might create a new temporary workspace in order to freely experiment with changes without affecting the default workspace. Non-default workspaces are often related to feature branches in version control. The default workspace might correspond to the "master" or "trunk" branch, which describes the intended state of production infrastructure. When a feature branch is created to develop a change, the developer of that feature might create a corresponding workspace and deploy into it a temporary "copy" of the main infrastructure so that changes can be tested without affecting the production infrastructure. Once the change is merged and deployed to the default workspace, the test infrastructure can be destroyed and the temporary workspace deleted. https://www.terraform.io/docs/state/workspaces.html https://www.terraform.io/docs/state/workspaces.html#when-to-use-multiple-workspaces

• Question 298:

  What does terrafom plan do ?

  A. Create an execution plan by evaluating the difference between configuration file and state file.
  B. Performs a refresh, unless explicitly disabled, and then apply the changes that are necessary to achieve the desired state specified in the configuration files.
  C. Create an execution plan by evaluating the difference between configuration file and actual infrastructure.
  D. Checks whether the execution plan for a set of changes matches your expectations by making changes to real resources or to the state.
  A. Create an execution plan by evaluating the difference between configuration file and state file.

  Explanation

• Question 299:

  By default, where does Terraform store its state file?

  A. Amazon S3 bucket
  B. shared directory
  C. remotely using Terraform Cloud
  D. current working directory
  D. current working directory

  ---

  Explanation

  By default, the state file is stored in a local file named "terraform.tfstate", but it can also be stored remotely, which works better in a team environment.

• Question 300:

  You are creating a Terraform configuration which needs to make use of multiple providers, one for AWS and one for Datadog.

  Which of the following provider blocks would allow you to do this?

  

  A. Option A
  B. Option B
  C. Option C
  B. Option B
