Question 183

Why does this backend configuration not follow best practices?

You should not store credentials in Terraform Configuration

You should use the local enhanced storage backend whenever possible

An alias meta-argument should be included in backend blocks whenever possible

The backend configuration should contain multiple credentials so that more than one user can execute terraform plan and terraform apply

Correct Answer: A

Storing credentials, such as access keys and secret keys, directly in a Terraform configuration file is not a best practice. This can lead to security risks, as sensitive information can be exposed in version control systems, logs, or to unauthorized users. Instead, credentials should be managed using more secure methods such as environment variables, AWS IAM roles, or secret management services.
