aws_instance will be created second
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
Implicit and Explicit Dependencies
By studying the resource attributes used in interpolation expressions, Terraform can automatically infer when
one resource depends on another. In the example above, the reference to aws_instance.web_server.id creates
an implicit dependency on the aws_instance named web_server.
Terraform uses this dependency information to determine the correct order in which to create the different
resources.
# Example of Implicit Dependency
resource "aws_instance" "web_server" {
ami = "ami-b374d5a5"
instance_type = "t2.micro"
}
resource "aws_eip" "web_server_ip" {
vpc = true
instance = aws_instance.web_server.id
}
In the example above, Terraform knows that the aws_instance must be created before the aws_eip.
Implicit dependencies via interpolation expressions are the primary way to inform Terraform about these
relationships, and should be used whenever possible.
Sometimes there are dependencies between resources that are not visible to Terraform. The depends_on
argument is accepted by any resource and accepts a list of resources to create explicit dependencies for.
For example, perhaps an application we will run on our EC2 instance expects to use a specific Amazon S3
bucket, but that dependency is configured inside the application code and thus not visible to Terraform. In that
case, we can use depends_on to explicitly declare the dependency:
# Example of Explicit Dependency
# New resource for the S3 bucket our application will use.
resource "aws_s3_bucket" "example" {
bucket = "terraform-getting-started-guide"
acl = "private"
}
# Change the aws_instance we declared earlier to now include "depends_on"
resource "aws_instance" "example" {
ami = "ami-2757f631"
instance_type = "t2.micro"
# Tells Terraform that this EC2 instance must be created only after the
# S3 bucket has been created.
depends_on = [aws_s3_bucket.example]
}

- C. provider
- D. resource
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 44
You are reviewing Terraform configurations for a big project in your company. You noticed that there are several identical sets of resources that appear in multiple configurations. What feature of Terraform would you recommend to use to reduce the amount of cloned configuration between the different configurations?
- A. Packages
- B. Backends
- C. Modules
- D. Provisioners
Answer: C
Explanation:
Modules are reusable configuration packages that Terraform can share through a variety of sources including Terraform Registries, GitHub, and Amazon S3 buckets.
A module is a container for multiple resources that are used together. Modules can be used to create lightweight abstractions, so that you can describe your infrastructure in terms of its architecture, rather than directly in terms of physical objects.
Modules are reusable configuration packages that Terraform can share through a variety of sources including Terraform Registries, GitHub, and Amazon S3 buckets.

NEW QUESTION # 45
John is writing a module and within the module, there are multiple places where he has to use the same conditional expression but he wants to avoid repeating the same values or expressions multiple times in a configuration,. What is a better approach to dealing with this?
- A. Expressions
- B. Local Values
- C. Functions
- D. Variables
Answer: B
Explanation:
A local value assigns a name to an expression, allowing it to be used multiple times within a module without repeating it.

NEW QUESTION # 46
The current implementation of Terraform import can only import resources into the state. It does not generate
configuration.
- A. True
- B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
The current implementation of Terraform import can only import resources into the state. It does not generate
configuration. A future version of Terraform will also generate configuration.
Because of this, prior to running terraform import it is necessary to write manually a resource configuration
block for the resource, to which the imported object will be mapped.
While this may seem tedious, it still gives Terraform users an avenue for importing existing resources.

NEW QUESTION # 51
You have multiple developers working on a terraform project (using terraform OSS), and have saved the terraform state in a remote S3 bucket . However ,team is intermittently experiencing inconsistencies in the provisioned infrastructure / failure in the code . You have traced this problem to simultaneous/concurrent runs of terraform apply command for 2/more developers . What can you do to fix this problem?
- A. Stop using remote state , and store the developer tfstate in their own machine . Once a day , all developers should sit together and merge the state files manually , to avoid any inconsistencies.
- B. Enable terraform state locking for the S3 backend using DynamoDB table. This prevents others from acquiring the lock and potentially corrupting your state.
- C. Use terraform workspaces feature, this will fix this problem by default , as every developer will have their own state file , and terraform will merge them on server side on its own.
- D. Structure your team in such a way that only one individual will run terraform apply , everyone will just make changes and share with him. Then there will be no chance of any inconsistencies.
Answer: B
Explanation:
S3 backend support state locking using DynamoDB.

Refer below code where pessimistic constraint operator has been used to specify a version of a provider.
terraform { required_providers { aws = "~> 1.1.0" }}
Which of the following options are valid provider versions that satisfy the above constraint. (select two)
- A. 1.1.8
- B. 1.2.9
- C. 1.1.1
- D. 1.2.0
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Pessimistic constraint operator, constraining both the oldest and newest version allowed. For example, ~> 0.9 is equivalent to >= 0.9, < 1.0, and ~> 0.8.4, is equivalent to >= 0.8.4, < 0.9
NEW QUESTION # 55
Provider dependencies are created in several different ways. Select the valid provider dependencies from the following list: (select three)
- A. Existence of any resource instance belonging to a particular provider in the current state.
- B. Explicit use of a provider block in configuration, optionally including a version constraint.
- C. Use of any resource belonging to a particular provider in a resource or data block in configuration.
- D. Existence of any provider plugins found locally in the working directory.
Explanation
The existence of a provider plugin found locally in the working directory does not itself create a provider dependency. The plugin can exist without any reference to it in the terraform configuration. https://www.terraform.io/docs/commands/providers.html
Answer: A,B,C

NEW QUESTION # 57
Your manager has instructed you to start using terraform for the entire infra provisioning of the application stack. There are 4 environments - DEV , QA , UAT , and PROD. The application team has asked for complete segregation between these environments including the backend , state , and also configurations ,since there will be unique resources in different environments . What is the possible way to structure the terraform code to facilitate that.
- A. Implement terraform workspaces , and map each environment with one workspace.
- B. Enable remote backend storage . Configure 4 different backend storages , one for each environment.
- C. Completely separate the working directories , keep one for each environment . For each working directory , maintain a separate configuration file , variables file , and map to the same backend.
- D. Completely separate the working directories , keep one for each environment . For each working directory , maintain a separate configuration file , variables file , and map to a different backend.
Answer: D
Explanation:
In particular, organizations commonly want to create a strong separation between multiple deployments of the same infrastructure serving different development stages (e.g. staging vs. production) or different internal teams. In this case, the backend used for each deployment often belongs to that deployment, with different credentials and access controls. Named workspaces are not a suitable isolation mechanism for this scenario.

NEW QUESTION # 58
Your team uses terraform OSS . You have created a number of resuable modules for important , independent
network components that you want to share with your team to enhance consistency . What is the correct
option/way to do that?
- A. Upload your modules with proper versioning in the terraform public module registry . Terraform OSS is
directly integrated with the public module registry , and can reference the modules from the code in the
main tf file. - B. Terraform modules cannot be shared in OSS version . Each developer needs to maintain their own
modules and leverage them in the main tf file. - C. Terraform module sharing is only available in Enterprise version via terraform private module registry ,
so no way to enable it in OSS version. - D. Store your modules in a NAS/ shared file server , and ask your team members to directly reference the
code from there. This is the only viable option in terraform OSS ,which is better than individually
maintaining module versions for every developer.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
Software development encourages code reuse through reusable artifacts, such as libraries, packages and
modules. Most programming languages enable developers to package and publish these reusable components
and make them available on a registry or feed. For example, Python has Python Package Index and PowerShell
has PowerShell Gallery.
For Terraform users, the Terraform Registry enables the distribution of Terraform modules, which are reusable
configurations. The Terraform Registry acts as a centralized repository for module sharing, making modules
easier to discover and reuse.
The Registry is available in two variants:
* Public Registry houses official Terraform providers -- which are services that interact with an API to expose
and manage a specific resource -- and community-contributed modules.
* Private Registry is available as part of the Terraform Cloud, and can host modules internally within an
organization.
