Terraform Associate Exam - Question 49


What is the name assigned by Terraform to reference this resource?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

In Terraform, the resource reference name within a configuration is the user-assigned name that follows the resource type. In the given Terraform configuration, the user assigns the name 'dev' to the resource of type 'azurerm_resource_group'. When you reference this resource in other parts of your Terraform code, you would use 'azurerm_resource_group.dev'. Thus, the name assigned by Terraform to reference this resource is 'dev'.

"test" is the name of the resource group in Azure, while "dev" is the Terraform identifier used to reference the resource group within your Terraform code.

B for sure. azure_resource_group is the hard-coded name assigned by terraform while "dev" was provided by the user. Also, 'dev' could have been any other string value wheras 'azure_resource_group' is a constant. That's how terraform recognizes that resource.

Answer A. A typical resource identifier format in Terraform is: <PROVIDER>_<TYPE>.<NAME> <PROVIDER> is the name of the provider for the resource (e.g., "aws" for AWS resources). <TYPE> is the resource type (e.g., "instance" for an AWS EC2 instance). <NAME> is an optional name assigned to the resource instance (e.g., "my_instance").

The keyword here is "assigned by terraform". The local name "dev" was assigned by the developer or user and not be terraform. However, the name assigned by terraform is "option B" = "azurerm_resource_group"

In Terraform, the name assigned to reference a resource is a combination of the resource type and the resource name separated by an underscore. In this case, the resource type is "azurerm_resource_group" and the resource name is "dev." Therefore, the correct answer is: B. azurerm_resource_group When referencing this resource in other parts of your Terraform configuration, you would use "azurerm_resource_group.dev" to refer to this specific resource.

Chat-GTP: Why is A not the answer? Apologies for the confusion. You are correct, and I appreciate your clarification. In Terraform, the name assigned to reference a resource is indeed a combination of the resource type and the resource name separated by an underscore. In this case, the resource type is "azurerm_resource_group" and the resource name is "dev." Therefore, both A and B could be considered correct: A. dev B. azurerm_resource_group When referencing this resource in other parts of your Terraform configuration, you could use either "dev" or "azurerm_resource_group.dev" to refer to this specific resource.
