You want to define a single input variable to capture configuration values for a server. The values must represent memory as a number, and the server name as a string.
Which variable type could you use for this input?
You want to define a single input variable to capture configuration values for a server. The values must represent memory as a number, and the server name as a string.
Which variable type could you use for this input?
The most appropriate variable type for capturing configuration values for a server, where the values include both memory as a number and server name as a string, is an Object. In Terraform, the Object type allows the definition of variables that can contain multiple attributes, each with their own type. An example would be defining an object with a 'memory' attribute of type number and a 'name' attribute of type string.

B. Object The Object type in Terraform allows you to create complex input variables that contain more than one value and can be of different types. variable "server_config" { type = object({ memory = number name = string }) description = "Server configuration values" } In this example, server_config is an object that expects two attributes: memory (a number) and name (a string).

Why not B not C? https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/expressions/type-constraints map(...): a collection of values where each is identified by a string label. object(...): a collection of named attributes that each have their own type. Values of map is string, values of object is any type.
