Question 139
Correct Answer:
The correct provider block configuration in this context is option B. Terraform allows you to specify multiple providers within the same configuration file. The correct syntax for declaring a provider block is by using the 'provider' keyword followed by the name of the provider in quotes. Option B correctly declares the AWS and Datadog providers using this syntax. Option A is incorrect because it does not use the provider keyword, and C is incorrect because it incorrectly nests the provider blocks inside a 'terraform' block.

I think B is correct as you are configuring the provider not declaring it terraform { required_providers { aws = { source = "hashicorp/aws" version = "~> 4.0" } } } # Configure the AWS Provider provider "aws" { region = "us-east-1" }

*CREATING* then it should be C as you need the root terraform block

Provider block doesnt belong inside the terraform block :D

The question seems to hinge on the word "needs" ... if it was asking for "required_providers" then they would need to nested inside a terraform block however none of the examples show the correct syntax for a required_providers block terraform { required_providers { mycloud = { source = "mycorp/mycloud" version = "~> 1.0" } } } I'm going with B.

Question says "you are creating" your configuration, not configuring. It should be C
