Terraform Associate Exam - Question 150

Question

What does this code do?

Examice · Accepted Answer

The code specifies a version constraint for the AWS provider in Terraform. The '~>' operator means that the required version must be greater than or equal to 3.0 but less than 4.0. This ensures compatibility within a major version while allowing for bug fixes and minor updates within that version range.

DerekKey · Answer

A - ~>: Allows only the rightmost version component to increment. For example, to allow new patch releases within a specific minor release, use the full version number: ~> 1.0.4 will allow installation of 1.0.5 and 1.0.10 but not 1.1.0. This is usually called the pessimistic constraint operator.

mahwish · Answer

The ~> operator is a convenient shorthand for allowing the rightmost component of a version to increment.

Stanislav4907 · Answer

The ~> syntax in the version constraint specifies that the AWS provider version must be greater than or equal to version 3.0, but less than version 4.0. This means that Terraform will only work with the AWS provider version 3.x, but will not work with version 4.x or any other major version.

Nunyabiznes · Answer

The clue here is "~" ["pessimistic version constraint" ],  that is why it is A, but if it were ">=3.0" then the answer would be B.

Correct answer is A

NashP · Answer

A. Requires any version of the AWS provider >= 3.0 and  3.0" specifies that the required version of the AWS provider should be at least 3.0 but less than 4.0. The `~>` operator is used for optimistic version constraints and allows any version greater than or equal to the specified minimum version but less than the next major release.

So, the correct interpretation is option A. It requires any version of the AWS provider >= 3.0 and < 4.0.
