NEW QUESTION # 26
Select the answer below that completes the following statement: Terraform Cloud can be managed from the
CLI but requires __________?
- A. a username and password
- B. a TOTP token
- C. an API token
- D. authentication using MFA
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
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.

NEW QUESTION # 36
You have configured an Auto Scaling group in AWS to automatically scale the number of instances behind a
load balancer based on the instances CPU utilization. The instances are configured using a Launch
Configuration. You have observed that the Auto Scaling group doesn't successfully scale when you apply
changes that require replacing the Launch Configuration. Why is this happening?
- A. You need to configure the Auto Scaling group's create_before_destroy meta-parameter.
- B. You need to configure an explicit dependency for the Auto Scaling group using the depends_on
meta-parameter. - C. You need to configure an explicit dependency for the Launch Configuration using the depends_on
meta-parameter. - D. You need to configure the Launch Configuration's create_before_destroy meta-parameter.

NEW QUESTION # 39
Your developers are facing a lot of problem while writing complex expressions involving difficult
interpolations . They have to run the terraform plan every time and check whether there are errors , and also
check terraform apply to print the value as a temporary output for debugging purposes. What should be done
to avoid this?
- A. Add a breakpoint in your code, using the watch keyword , and output the value to console for temporary
debugging. - B. Use terraform console command to have an interactive UI , but you can only use it with local state , and
it does not work with remote state. - C. Use terraform console command to have an interactive UI with full access to the underlying terraform
state to run your interpolations , and debug at real-time. - D. Use terraform zipmap function , it will be able to easily do the interpolations without complex code.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The terraform console command provides an interactive console for evaluating expressions. This is useful for
testing interpolations before using them in configurations, and for interacting with any values currently saved
in state.

NEW QUESTION # 40
Which of the following Terraform files should be ignored by Git when committing code to a repo? (select Three)
- A. terraform.tfstate
- B. input.tf
- C. Any files with names ending in .auto.tfvars or .auto.tfvars.json.
- D. Files named exactly terraform.tfvars or terraform.tfvars.json.
- E. output.tf
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
The .gitignore file should be configured to ignore Terraform files that either contain sensitive data or are not required to save.
Terraform state (terraform.tfstate) can contain sensitive data, depending on the resources in use and your definition of "sensitive." The state contains resource IDs and all resource attributes. For resources such as databases, this may contain initial passwords.
When using local state, state is stored in plain-text JSON files.
The terraform.tfvars file may contain sensitive data, such as passwords or IP addresses of an environment that you may not want to share with others.
NEW QUESTION # 41
When using multiple configurations of the same Terraform provider, what meta-argument must be included in any non-default provider configurations?
- A. alias

- C. depends_on
- D. id
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 42
Which of the following actions are performed during a terraform init?
- A. Provisions the declared resources in your configuration
- B. Initializes downloaded and/or installed providers
- C. Initializes the backend configuration
- D. Download the declared providers which are supported by HashiCorp
Answer: B,C,D
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

NEW QUESTION # 43
True or False: A list(...) contain a number of values of the same type while an object(...) can contain a number of values of different types.
- A. False
- B. True
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
Collection Types
A collection type allows multiple values of one other type to be grouped together as a single value. The type of value within a collection is called its element type. All collection types must have an element type, which is provided as the argument to their constructor.
For example, the type list(string) means "list of strings", which is a different type than list(number), a list of numbers. All elements of a collection must always be of the same type.
The three kinds of collection type in the Terraform language are:
* list(...): a sequence of values identified by consecutive whole numbers starting with zero.
The keyword list is a shorthand for list(any), which accepts any element type as long as every element is the same type. This is for compatibility with older configurations; for new code, we recommend using the full form.
* map(...): a collection of values where each is identified by a string label.
The keyword map is a shorthand for map(any), which accepts any element type as long as every element is the same type. This is for compatibility with older configurations; for new code, we recommend using the full form.
* set(...): a collection of unique values that do not have any secondary identifiers or ordering.
https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/types.html
Structural Types
A structural type allows multiple values of several distinct types to be grouped together as a single value.
Structural types require a schema as an argument, to specify which types are allowed for which elements.
The two kinds of structural type in the Terraform language are:
* object(...): a collection of named attributes that each have their own type.
The schema for object types is { <KEY> = <TYPE>, <KEY> = <TYPE>, ... } - a pair of curly braces containing a comma-separated series of <KEY> = <TYPE> pairs. Values that match the object type must contain all of the specified keys, and the value for each key must match its specified type. (Values with additional keys can still match an object type, but the extra attributes are discarded during type conversion.)
* tuple(...): a sequence of elements identified by consecutive whole numbers starting with zero, where each element has its own type.
The schema for tuple types is [<TYPE>, <TYPE>, ...] - a pair of square brackets containing a comma-separated series of types. Values that match the tuple type must have exactly the same number of elements (no more and no fewer), and the value in each position must match the specified type for that position.
For example: an object type of object({ name=string, age=number }) would match a value like the following:
{
name = "John"
age = 52
}
Also, an object type of object({ id=string, cidr_block=string }) would match the object produced by a reference to an aws_vpc resource, like aws_vpc.example_vpc; although the resource has additional attributes, they would be discarded during type conversion.
Finally, a tuple type of tuple([string, number, bool]) would match a value like the following:
["a", 15, true]
