• Question 45:

  The Terraform binary version and provider versions must match each other in a single configuration.

  A. True
  B. False
  B. False

  ---

  Explanation

  The Terraform binary version and provider versions do not have to match each other in a single configuration. Terraform allows you to specify provider version constraints in the configuration's terraform block, which can be different from the Terraform binary version. Terraform will use the newest version of the provider that meets the configuration's version constraints. You can also use the dependency lock file to ensure Terraform is using the correct provider version.

• Question 46:

  You have provisioned some virtual machines (VMs) on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using the gcloud command line tool. However, you are standardizing with Terraform and want to manage these VMs using Terraform instead. What are the two things you must do to achieve this? (Choose two.)

  A. Provision new VMs using Terraform with the same VM names
  B. Use the terraform import command for the existing VMs
  C. Write Terraform configuration for the existing VMs
  D. Run the terraform import-gcp command
  B. Use the terraform import command for the existing VMs
  C. Write Terraform configuration for the existing VMs

  ---

  Explanation

  To import existing resources into Terraform, you need to do two things:

  Write a resource configuration block for each resource, matching the type and name used in your state file.

  Run terraform import for each resource, specifying its address and ID. There is no such command as terraform Import-gcp, and provisioning new VMs with the same names will not import them into Terraform.

  A. Provision resources for on-premises infrastructure services
  B. Simplify API interactions
  C. Provision resources for public cloud infrastructure services
  D. Enforce security and compliance policies
