HashiCorp HashiCorp Certifications TERRAFORM-ASSOCIATE-003 Questions & Answers

• Question 61:

  A developer on your team is going lo leaf down an existing deployment managed by Terraform and deploy a new one. However, there is a server resource named aws instant.ubuntu[l] they would like to keep. What command should they use to tell Terraform to stop managing that specific resource?

  A. Terraform plan rm:aws_instance.ubuntu[1]

  B. Terraform state rm:aws_instance.ubuntu[1]

  C. Terraform apply rm:aws_instance.ubuntu[1]

  D. Terraform destory rm:aws_instance.ubuntu[1]

  Correct Answer: B

  To tell Terraform to stop managing a specific resource without destroying it, you can use the terraform state rm command. This command will remove the resource from the Terraform state, which means that Terraform will no longer track or update the corresponding remote object. However, the object will still exist in the remote system and you can later use terraform import to start managing it again in a different configuration or workspace. The syntax for this command is terraform state rm

  , where

  is the resource address that identifies the resource instance to remove. For example, terraform state rm aws_instance.ubuntu[1] will remove the second instance of the aws_instance resource named ubuntu from the state. References = : Command: state rm : Moving Resources

• Question 62:

  You have a Terraform configuration that defines a single virtual machine with no references to it, You have run terraform apply to create the resource, and then removed the resource definition from your Terraform configuration file. What will happen you run terraform apply in the working directory again?

  A. Terraform will remove the virtual machine from the state file, but the resource will still exist

  B. Nothing

  C. Terraform will error

  D. Terraform will destroy the virtual machine

  Correct Answer: D

  This is what will happen if you run terraform apply in the working directory again, after removing the resource definition from your Terraform configuration file. Terraform will detect that there is a resource in the state file that is not present in the configuration file, and will assume that you want to delete it.

• Question 63:

  Only the user that generated a plan may apply it.

  A. True

  B. False

  Correct Answer: B

  Any user with permission to apply a plan can apply it, not only the user that generated it. This allows for collaboration and delegation of tasks among team members.

• Question 64:

  You have to initialize a Terraform backend before it can be configured.

  A. True

  B. False

  Correct Answer: B

  You can configure a backend in your Terraform code before initializing it. Initializing a backend will store the state file remotely and enable features like locking and workspaces. References = [Terraform Backends]

• Question 65:

  Outside of the required_providers block, Terraform configurations always refer to providers by their local names.

  A. True

  B. False

  Correct Answer: B

  Outside of the required_providers block, Terraform configurations can refer to providers by either their local names or their source addresses. The local name is a short name that can be used throughout the configuration, while the source address is a global identifier for the provider in the format registry.terraform.io/namespace/type. For example, you can use either aws or registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws to refer to the AWS provider.

• Question 66:

  Which parameters does terraform import require? Choose two correct answers.

  A. Provider

  B. Resource ID

  C. Resource address

  D. Path

  Correct Answer: BC

  These are the parameters that terraform import requires, as they allow Terraform to identify the existing resource that you want to import into your state file, and match it with the corresponding configuration block in your files.

• Question 67:

  In Terraform HCL, an object type of object({name=string, age-number}) would match this value.

  

  A. Option A

  B. Option B

  C. Option C

  D. Option D

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 68:

  How can a ticket-based system slow down infrastructure provisioning and limit the ability to scale? Choose two correct answers.

  A. End-users have to request infrastructure changes

  B. Ticket based systems generate a full audit trail of the request and fulfillment process

  C. Users can access catalog of approved resources from drop down list in a request form

  D. The more resources your organization needs, the more tickets your infrastructure team has to process

  Correct Answer: A

  These are some of the ways that a ticket-based system can slow down infrastructure provisioning and limit the ability to scale, as they introduce delays, bottlenecks, and manual interventions in the process of creating and modifying infrastructure.

• Question 69:

  You can reference a resource created with for_each using a Splat ( *) expression.

  A. True

  B. False

  Correct Answer: B

  You cannot reference a resource created with for_each using a splat (*) expression, as it will not work with resources that have non-numeric keys. You need to use a for expression instead to iterate over the resource instances.

• Question 70:

  A Terraform provider is NOT responsible for:

  A. Exposing resources and data sources based on an APUI

  B. Managing actions to take based on resources differences

  C. Understanding API interactions with some service

  D. Provisioning infrastructure in multiple

  Correct Answer: D

  This is not a responsibility of a Terraform provider, as it does not make sense grammatically or logically. A Terraform provider is responsible for exposing resources and data sources based on an API, managing actions to take based on resource differences, and understanding API interactions with some service.
