• True
• False

Which of the following is true about terraform apply? (Choose two.)

• It only operates on infrastructure defined in the current working directory or workspace
• You must pass the output of a terraform plan command to it
• Depending on provider specification, Terraform may need to destroy and recreate your infrastructure resources
• By default, it does not refresh your state file to reflect current infrastructure configuration
• You cannot target specific resources for the operation

What value does the Terraform Cloud/Terraform Enterprise private module registry provide over the public Terraform Module Registry?

• The ability to share modules with public Terraform users and members of Terraform Enterprise Organizations
• The ability to tag modules by version or release
• The ability to restrict modules to members of Terraform Cloud or Enterprise organizations
• The ability to share modules publicly with any user of Terraform

A single terraform resource file that defines an aws_instance resource can simply be renamed to vsphere_virtual_machine in order to switch cloud providers.

• True
• False

You want to share Terraform state with your team, store it securely and provide state locking. How would you do this? Choose three correct answers.

• Using the consul Terraform backend.
• Using the remote Terraform backend with Terraform Cloud / Terraform Enterprise.
• Using the local backend.
• Using the s3 terraform backend. The dynamodb_field option e not needed.
• Using an s3 terraform backend with an appropriate IAM policy and dynamodb_field option configured.

Which provisioner invokes a process on the resource created by Terraform?

• remote-exec
• null-exec
• local-exec
• file

True or False. The terraform refresh command is used to reconcile the state Terraform knows about (via its state file) with the real-world infrastructure. If drift is detected between the real-world infrastructure and the last known-state, it will modify the infrastructure to correct the drift.

• False
• True

You just upgraded the version of a provider in an existing Terraform project. What do you need to do to install the new provider?

• Run terraform apply -upgrade
• Run terraform init -upgrade
• Run terraform refresh
• Upgrade your version of Terraform

You want to use terraform import to start managing infrastructure that was not originally provisioned through infrastructure as code. Before you can import the resource's current state, what must you do in order to prepare to manage these resources using Terraform?

• Run terraform refresh to ensure that the state file has the latest information for existing resources.
• Update the configuration file to include the new resources.
• Shut down or stop using the resources being imported so no changes are inadvertently missed.
• Modify the Terraform state file to add the new resources.

You have created a terraform script that uses a lot of new constructs that have been introduced in terraform v0.12. However, many developers who are cloning the script from your git repo, are using v0.11, and getting errors. What can be done from your end to solve this problem?

• Force developer to use v0.12 by using terraform setting 'required_version' and set it to >=0.12.
• Refactor the code to support both v0.11, and v0.12. It might be a difficult process, but there is no other way.
• Add a condition in front of each such specific construct, to check whether the running terraform version id v0.11 or v0.12, and ,work accordingly.
• Add comments in your code to tell developers to use v0.12 . If they use v0.11 , that should be their problem , which they need to figure out.
