HashiCorp TERRAFORM-ASSOCIATE-003 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 441:

  By default, provisioners that fail will also cause the Terraform apply itself to error. How can you change this default behavior within a provisioner?

  A. provisioner "local-exec" { on_failure = "next" }
  B. provisioner "local-exec" { when = "failure" terraform apply }
  C. provisioner "local-exec" { on_failure = "continue" }
  D. provisioner "local-exec" { on_failure = continue }
  C. provisioner "local-exec" { on_failure = "continue" }

• Question 442:

  The public Terraform Module Registry is free to use.

  A. True
  B. False
  A. True

  ---

  Explanation

  The public Terraform Module Registry is free to use, as it is a public service that hosts thousands of self-contained packages called modules that are used to provision infrastructure. You can browse, use, and publish modules to the registry without any cost.

• Question 443:

  terraform state subcommands such as list are read-only commands, do read-only commands create state backup files?

  A. Yes
  B. No
  B. No

  ---

  Explanation

  Subcommands that are read-only (such as list) do not write any backup files since they aren't modifying the state.

  All terraform state subcommands that modify the state write backup files. The path of these backup file can be controlled with-backup.

• Question 444:

  If you enable TF_LOG = DEBUG, the log will be stored in syslog.log file in the currect directory.

  A. False
  B. True
  A. False

• Question 445:

  Which is the best way to specify a tag of v1.0.0 when referencing a module stored in Git (for example git::https://example.com/vpc.git)?

  A. Append ref=v1. 0. 0 argument to the source path
  B. Add version = "1.0.0" parameter to module block
  C. Nothing " modules stored on GitHub always default to version 1.0.0
  D. Modules stored on GitHub do not support versioning
  A. Append ref=v1. 0. 0 argument to the source path

  ---

  Explanation

  The best way to specify a tag of v1.0.0 when referencing a module stored in Git is to append ?ref=v1.0.0 argument to the source path. This tells Terraform to use a specific Git reference, such as a branch, tag, or commit, when fetching the

  module source code. For example, source = "git::https://example.com/vpc.git?ref=v1.0.0". This ensures that the module version is consistent and reproducible across different environments.

• Question 446:

  You have declared an input variable called environment in your parent module. What must you do to pass the value to a child module in the configuration?

  A. Add node_count = var.node_count
  B. Declare the variable in a terraform.tfvars file
  C. Declare a node_count input variable for child module
  D. Nothing, child modules inherit variables of parent module
  C. Declare a node_count input variable for child module

  ---

  Explanation

  "That module may call other modules and connect them together by passing output values from one to input values of another." https://www.terraform.io/language/modules/develop

• Question 447:

  In the example below, where is the value of the DNS record's IP address originating from?

  1.resource "aws_route53_record" "www"

  2.{

  3.zone_id = aws_route53_zone.primary.zone_id

  4.name = "www.example.com"

  5.type = "A"

  6.ttl = "300"

  7.records = [module.web_server.instance_ip_address]

  8.}

  A. The regular expression named module.web_server
  B. The output of a module named web_server
  C. By querying the AWS EC2 API to retrieve the IP address
  D. Value of the web_server parameter from the variables.tf file
  B. The output of a module named web_server

  ---

  Explanation

  In a parent module, outputs of child modules are available in expressions as module..

  .

  For example, if a child module named web_server declared an output named instance_ip_address, you could access that value as module.web_server.instance_ip_address.

• Question 448:

  When running the command terraform taint against a managed resource you want to force recreation upon, Terraform will immediately destroy and recreate the resource.

  A. True
  B. False
  B. False

  ---

  Explanation

  "The terraform taint command informs Terraform that a particular object has become degraded or damaged. Terraform represents this by marking the object as "tainted" in the Terraform state, and Terraform will propose to replace it in the next plan you create." FYI-This command is deprecated. For Terraform v0.15.2 and later, we recommend using the-replace option with terraform apply instead. For Terraform v0.15.2 and later, we recommend using the-replace option with terraform apply to force Terraform to replace an object even though there are no configuration changes that would require it. https://www.terraform.io/cli/commands/taint

• Question 449:

  What does the default "local" Terraform backend store?

  A. tfplan files
  B. Terraform binary
  C. Provider plugins
  D. State file
  D. State file

  ---

  Explanation

  The local backend stores state on the local filesystem, locks that state using system APIs, and performs operations locally.

• Question 450:

  Which of the following statements about local modules is incorrect:

  A. Local modules are not cached by terraform init command
  B. Local modules are sourced from a directory on disk
  C. Local modules support versions
  D. All of the above (all statements above are incorrect
  E. None of the above (all statements above are correct)
  C. Local modules support versions

  ---

  Explanation

  Version constraints are supported only for modules installed from a module registry, such as the public Terraform Registry or Terraform Cloud's private module registry. Other module sources can provide their own versioning mechanisms within the source string itself, or might not support versions at all. In particular, modules sourced from local file paths do not support version; since they're loaded from the same source repository, they always share the same version as their caller. https://www.terraform.io/language/modules/syntax
