Question3: How do you specify a module's version when publishing it to the public terraform Module Registry?

Question4: Running terraform fmt without any flags in a directory with Terraform configuration files check the formatting of those files without changing their contents.

Question6: You have never used Terraform before and would like to test it out using a shared team account for a cloud provider. The shared team account already contains 15 virtual machines (VM).

Which of these is the correct way to define the output value?

Question11: 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?

Question12: A terraform apply can not _________ infrastructure.

Question13: How would you output returned values from a child module in the Terraform CLI output?

Question14: Your security team scanned some Terraform workspaces and found secrets stored in plaintext in state files. How can you protect that data?

Question15: Which of these statements about Terraform Cloud workspaces is false?

Question16: Variables declared within a module are accessible outside of the module.

Question19: Which command lets you experiment with terraform expressions?

Question20: Which parameters does terraform import require? Choose two correct answers.

Question21: What is the name of the default file where Terraform stores the state?
Type your answer in the field provided. The text field is not case-sensitive and all variations of the correct answer are accepted.

Question22: Your DevOps team is currently using the local backend for your Terraform configuration. You would like to move to a remote backend to store the state file in a central location. Which of the following backends would not work?

Question23: What feature stops multiple users from operating on the Terraform state at the same time?

Question24: Where can Terraform not load a provider from?

Question25: When using a remote backend or terraform Cloud integration, where does Terraform save resource sate?

Question26: Which task does terraform init not perform?

Question27: 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?

Question28: You much initialize your working directory before running terraform validate.

Question29: What is the workflow for deploying new infrastructure with Terraform?

Question30: You have created a main.tf Terraform configuration consisting of an application server, a database and a load balanced. You ran terraform apply and Terraform created all of the resources successfully.
Now you realize that you do not actually need the load balancer, so you run terraform destroy without any flags. What will happen?

Question31: Terraform configuration (including any module references) can contain only one Terraform provider type.

Question32: In a Terraform Cloud workpace linked to a version control repository speculative plan rum start automatically commit changes to version control.

Question33: You can configure Terraform to log to a file using the TF_LOG environment variable.

Question34: You add a new provider to your configuration and immediately run terraform apply in the CD using the local backend. Why does the apply fail?

Question35: You're building a CI/CD (continuous integration/continuous delivery) pipeline and need to inject sensitive variables into your Terraform run. How can you do this safely?

Question36: Which two steps are required to provision new infrastructure in the Terraform workflow? Choose two correct answers.

Question37: When should you use the force-unlock command?

Question38: Only the user that generated a plan may apply it.

Question39: Which command must you first run before performing further Terraform operations in a working directory?

Question40: When should you run terraform init?

Question41: If a DevOps team adopts AWS CloudFormation as their standardized method for provisioning public cloud resoruces, which of the following scenarios poses a challenge for this team?

Question42: You want to know from which paths Terraform is loading providers referenced in your Terraform configuration (* files). You need to enable additional logging messages to find this out. Which of the following would achieve this?
