  A. A full audit trail of the request and fulfillment process is generated

  B. A request must be submitted for infrastructure changes

  Correct Answer: BC

• Question 112:

  A user has created a module called "my_test_module" and committed it to GitHub. Over time, several commits have been made with updates to the module, each tagged in GitHub with an incremental version number. Which of the following lines would be required in a module configuration block in terraform to select tagged version v1.0.4?

  A. source = "git::https://example.com/my_test_module.git@tag=v1.0.4"

  B. source = "git::https://example.com/my_test_module.gitandref=v1.0.4"

  C. source = "git::https://example.com/my_test_module.git#tag=v1.0.4"

  D. source = "git::https://example.com/my_test_module.git?ref=v1.0.4"

• Question 114:

  resource "aws_s3_bucket" "example" { bucket = "my-test-s3-terraform-bucket" ...} resource "aws_iam_role" "test_role" { name = "test_role" ...}

  Due to the way that the application code is written , the s3 bucket must be created before the test role is created , otherwise there will be a problem. How can you ensure that?

  A. This will already be taken care of by terraform native implicit dependency. Nothing else needs to be done from your end.

  B. Add explicit dependency using depends_on . This will ensure the correct order of resource creation.

  C. Create 2 separate terraform config scripts , and run them one by one , 1 for s3 bucket , and another for IAM role , run the S3 bucket script first.

  D. This is not possible to control in terraform . Terraform will take care of it in a native way , and create a dependency graph that is best suited for the parallel resource creation.

  Correct Answer: B

  Use the depends_on meta-argument to handle hidden resource dependencies that Terraform can't automatically infer.

  Explicitly specifying a dependency is only necessary when a resource relies on some other resource's behavior but doesn't access any of that resource's data in its arguments.

• Question 115:

  Select the answer below that completes the following statement: Terraform Cloud can be managed from the CLI but requires __________?

  A. an API token

  B. a TOTP token

  C. a username and password

  D. authentication using MFA

  Correct Answer: A

  API and CLI access are managed with API tokens, which can be generated in the Terraform Cloud UI. Each user can generate any number of personal API tokens, which allow access with their own identity and permissions. Organizations and teams can also generate tokens for automating tasks that aren't tied to an individual user.

• Question 116:

  Which of the following statements about Terraform modules is not true?

  A. Modules must be publicly accessible

  B. Modules can be called multiple times

  C. Module is a container for one or more resources

  D. Modules can call other modules

  Correct Answer: A

  In addition to modules from the local filesystem, Terraform can load modules from a public or private registry. Also, members of your organization might produce modules specifically crafted for your own infrastructure needs. Source: https://www.terraform.io/language/modules

  A. True

  B. False

  Correct Answer: B

  https://www.terraform.io/cloud-docs/overview Terraform Cloud is a commercial SaaS product developed by HashiCorp. Many of its features are free for small teams, including remote state storage, remote runs, and VCS connections. We also offer paid plans for larger teams that include additional collaboration and governance features. Each higher paid upgrade plan is a strict superset of any lower plans--for example, the Team and Governance plan includes all of the features of the Team plan.

  A. Terraform enterprise

  B. Consul

  C. Github

  D. S3

  E. Artifactory
