Question 3 of 327

How is the Terraform remote backend different than other state backends such as S3, Consul, etc.?

It can execute Terraform runs on dedicated infrastructure on premises or in Terraform Cloud

It doesn't show the output of a terraform apply locally

It is only available to paying customers

All of the above

Correct Answer: A

The Terraform remote backend is unique because it can execute Terraform runs on dedicated infrastructure either on premises or in Terraform Cloud. This feature distinguishes it from other state backends like S3 or Consul, which only store state snapshots but don't have the capability to execute Terraform runs.

Question 4 of 327

What is the workflow for deploying new infrastructure with Terraform?

terraform plan to import the current infrastructure to the state file, make code changes, and terraform apply to update the infrastructure.

Write a Terraform configuration, run terraform show to view proposed changes, and terraform apply to create new infrastructure.

terraform import to import the current infrastructure to the state file, make code changes, and terraform apply to update the infrastructure.

Write a Terraform configuration, run terraform init, run terraform plan to view planned infrastructure changes, and terraform apply to create new infrastructure.

Correct Answer: D

To deploy new infrastructure with Terraform, the standard workflow involves writing a Terraform configuration to define the desired infrastructure. Then, run terraform init to initialize the working directory, which downloads necessary providers and modules. After initialization, terraform plan is executed to create an execution plan, showing what changes will be made to match the configuration. Finally, terraform apply is used to apply the desired changes, thus creating the new infrastructure.

Question 5 of 327

A provider configuration block is required in every Terraform configuration.

Example:

True

False

Correct Answer: B

A provider configuration block is not required in every Terraform configuration. If the resources in the configuration only use a single provider's resources and do not require any specific configuration for that provider, Terraform can infer the provider and use the default settings. This means that the provider block can be omitted and Terraform will automatically download and use the necessary provider based on the resource types used.
