NEW QUESTION 67
Which of the following value will be accepted for my_var?
1. variable "my_var"
2. {
3. type = string
4. }
- A. None of the above
- B. "15"
- C. 0
- D. Both A and B
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The Terraform language will automatically convert number and bool values to string values when needed, and vice-versa as long as the string contains a valid representation of a number or boolean value.
Example
* true converts to "true", and vice-versa
* false converts to "false", and vice-versa
* 15 converts to "15", and vice-versa
Where possible, Terraform automatically converts values from one type to another in order to produce the expected type. If this isn't possible, Terraform will produce a type mismatch error and you must update the configuration with a more suitable expression.

- A. Provisions the declared resources in your configuration
- B. Download the declared providers which are supported by HashiCorp
- C. Initializes downloaded and/or installed providers
- D. Initializes the backend configuration
Answer: B,C,D
Explanation:
Explanation
The terraform init command is used to initialize a working directory containing Terraform configuration files.
This is the first command that should be run after writing a new Terraform configuration or cloning an existing one from version control. It is safe to run this command multiple times.
This command is always safe to run multiple times, to bring the working directory up to date with changes in the configuration. Though subsequent runs may give errors, this command will never delete your existing configuration or state.
terraform init command does -
* Copy a Source Module
* Backend Initialization
* Child Module Installation
* Plugin Installation

You want terraform plan and terraform apply to be executed in Terraform Cloud's run environment but the output is to be streamed locally. Which one of the below you will choose?
- A. Remote Backends.
- B. This can be done using any of the local or remote backends.
- C. Local Backends.
- D. Terraform Backends.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
When using full remote operations, operations like terraform plan or terraform apply can be executed in Terraform Cloud's run environment, with log output streaming to the local terminal. Remote plans and applies use variable values from the associated Terraform Cloud workspace.
Terraform Cloud can also be used with local operations, in which case only state is stored in the Terraform Cloud backend.

NEW QUESTION 82
Terraform must track metadata such as resource dependencies. Where is this data stored?
- A. metadata store
- B. backend
- C. workspace
- D. state file
Answer: D
Explanation:
Terraform typically uses the configuration to determine dependency order. However, when you delete a resource from a Terraform configuration, Terraform must know how to delete that resource. Terraform can see that a mapping exists for a resource not in your configuration and plan to destroy. However, since the configuration no longer exists, the order cannot be determined from the configuration alone.
To ensure correct operation, Terraform retains a copy of the most recent set of dependencies within the state. Now Terraform can still determine the correct order for destruction from the state when you delete one or more items from the configuration.
https://www.terraform.io/docs/state/purpose.html#metadata
NEW QUESTION 83
After executing a terraform apply, you notice that a resource has a tilde (~) next to it. What does this infer?
- A. The resource will be destroyed and recreated.
- B. The resource will be created.
- C. The resource will be updated in place.
- D. Terraform can't determine how to proceed due to a problem with the state file.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The prefix -/+ means that Terraform will destroy and recreate the resource, rather than updating it in-place.
The prefix ~ means that some attributes and resources can be updated in-place.
$ terraform apply
aws_instance.example: Refreshing state... [id=i-0bbf06244e44211d1]
An execution plan has been generated and is shown below.
Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
-/+ destroy and then create replacement
Terraform will perform the following actions:
# aws_instance.example must be replaced

- A. source = "git::https://example.com/my_test_module.git&ref=v1.0.4"
- B. source = "git::https://example.com/my_test_module.git?ref=v1.0.4"
Explanation
https://www.terraform.io/docs/modules/sources.html#selecting-a-revision - C. source = "git::https://example.com/my_test_module.git@tag=v1.0.4"

Answer: B
NEW QUESTION 85
During a terraform plan, a resource is successfully created but eventually fails during provisioning. What happens to the resource?
- A. the resource is marked as tainted
- B. Terraform attempts to provision the resource up to three times before exiting with an error
- C. the terraform plan is rolled back and all provisioned resources are removed
- D. it is automatically deleted
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
If a resource successfully creates but fails during provisioning, Terraform will error and mark the resource as
"tainted". A resource that is tainted has been physically created, but can't be considered safe to use since provisioning failed. Terraform also does not automatically roll back and destroy the resource during the apply when the failure happens, because that would go against the execution plan: the execution plan would've said a resource will be created, but does not say it will ever be deleted.
NEW QUESTION 86
State locking does not happen automatically and must be specified at run

https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/providers.html
NEW QUESTION 89
You have created a custom variable definition file my_vars.tfvars. How will you use it for provisioning infrastructure?
- A. terraform apply -var-state-file ="my_vars.tfvars"
- B. terraform apply -var-file="my_vars.tfvars"
- C. terraform plan -var-file="my_vars.tfvar"
- D. terraform apply var-file="my_vars.tfvars"
Answer: B
Explanation:
To set lots of variables, it is more convenient to specify their values in a variable definitions file (with a filename ending in either .tfvars or .tfvars.json) and then specify that file on the command line with -var-file:
terraform apply -var-file="my_vars.tfvars"
https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/variables.html#variable-definitions-tfvars-files
NEW QUESTION 90
