Terraform Associate Exam - Question 85


You need to constrain the GitHub provider to version 2.1 or greater.

Which of the following should you put into the Terraform 0.12 configuration's provider block?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

To constrain the GitHub provider to version 2.1 or greater in a Terraform 0.12 configuration, you should use the following syntax in the provider block: version = ">= 2.1". This specifies that Terraform should use any version that is 2.1 or higher, meeting the requirement perfectly.

I found cleaner version of the multiple choices. A- version >= 2.1 B- version ~> 2.1 C- version = "<= 2.1" D- version = ">= 2.1" The answer is D ">= 2.1". Requires quotes I believe.

A- version >= 2.1 This option is not valid in Terraform's provider block. Terraform uses a specific version string format to specify provider versions, and this format is not compatible with the >= operator. B- version ~> 2.1 This option uses a version constraint that allows Terraform to use any version that is compatible with version 2.1, but it does not enforce using version 2.1 or greater. The ~> operator specifies that it should use a version greater than or equal to 2.1 but less than the next major version. C- version = "<= 2.1" This option constrains the provider to versions less than or equal to 2.1, which is the opposite of what you want. It limits Terraform to use versions up to and including 2.1 but not greater. D- version = ">= 2.1" This option correctly specifies that Terraform should use the GitHub provider version 2.1 or any version greater than 2.1, which matches your requirement of constraining it to version 2.1 or greater.

A- version >= 2.1 B- version ~> 2.1 C- version = "<= 2.1" D- version = ">= 2.1" Example: provider "github" { version = ">= 2.1" # Other configurations for the provider }

To constrain the GitHub provider to version 2.1 or greater in a Terraform 0.12 configuration, you should use the following constraint in the provider block: D. version = ">= 2.1" This constraint indicates that the provider version must be greater than or equal to 2.1. Here's an example of how to configure this in the provider block: ``` provider "github" { version = ">= 2.1" ... } ``` This ensures that the GitHub provider used will be at least version 2.1, allowing for any version greater than or equal to 2.1.

. version = ">= 2.1" In Terraform, the provider block is used to configure a provider plugin that Terraform uses to interact with a specific cloud or service. The version argument in the provider block is used to constrain the version of the provider plugin that Terraform should use.

The votes seem incorrect. Correct answer should be the ~ sign. See the provider block on registry page:- aws = { source = "hashicorp/aws" version = "~> 5.0"

For 0.12 version (1.1.x and earlier), exactly, refer https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/v1.1.x/expressions/version-constraints. = (or no operator): Allows only one exact version number. Cannot be combined with other conditions. !=: Excludes an exact version number. >, >=, <, <=: Comparisons against a specified version, allowing versions for which the comparison is true. "Greater-than" requests newer versions, and "less-than" requests older versions. ~>: 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.
