A developer accidentally launched a VM (virtual machine) outside of the Terraform workflow and ended up with two servers with the same name. They don't know which VM Terraform manages but do have a list of all active VM IDs.Which of the following methods could you use to discover which instance Terraform manages?

Run terraform state list to find the names of all VMs, then run terraform state show for each of them to find which VM ID Terraform manages

Update the code to include outputs for the ID of all VMs, then run terraform plan to view the outputs

Run terraform taint/code on all the VMs to recreate them

Use terraform refresh/code to find out which IDs are already part of state

Write Terraform configuration for the existing VMs

Use the terraform import command for the existing VMs

Run the terraform Import-gcp command

Write Terraform configuration for the existing VMs

Use the terraform import command for the existing VMs

Lets you version, reuse, and share infrastructure configuration

Provisions the same resources at a lower cost

Prevents manual modifications to your resources

You can enforce a list of approved AWS AMIs

Policy-as-code can enforce security best practices

You can restrict specific resource configurations, such as disallowing the use of CIDR=0.0.0.0/0.

You can enforce a list of approved AWS AMIs

Policy-as-code can enforce security best practices

You can check out and check in cloud access keys

You can restrict specific resource configurations, such as disallowing the use of CIDR=0.0.0.0/0.

Sentinel Policies can be written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL)

What does Terraform not reference when running a terraform apply -refresh-only ?

Terraform resource definitions in configuration files

You have deployed a new webapp with a public IP address on a cloud provider. However, you did not create any outputs for your code. What is the best method to quickly find the IP address of the resource you deployed?

Run terraform state list to find the name of the resource, then terraform state show to find the attributes including public IP address

In a new folder, use the terraform_remote_state data source to load in the state file, then write an output for each resource that you find the state file

Run terraform state list to find the name of the resource, then terraform state show to find the attributes including public IP address

Run terraform output ip_address to view the result

Run terraform destroy then terraform apply and look for the IP address in stdout

What information does the public Terraform Module Registry automatically expose about published modules?

Optional inputs variables and default values

As a member of an operations team that uses infrastructure as code (lac) practices, you are tasked with making a change to an infrastructure stack running in a public cloud. Which pattern would follow laC best practices for making a change?

Submit a pull request and wait for an approved merge of the proposed changes

Make the change via the public cloud API endpoint

Clone the repository containing your infrastructure code and then run the code

Use the public cloud console to make the change after a database record has been approved

Make the change programmatically via the public cloud CLI

Submit a pull request and wait for an approved merge of the proposed changes

You ate making changes to existing Terraform code to add some new infrastructure. When is the best time to run terraform validate?

Before you run terraform plan so you can validate your code syntax

After you run terraform apply so you can validate your infrastructure

Before you run terraform apply so you can validate your provider credentials

Before you run terraform plan so you can validate your code syntax

After you run terraform plan so you can validate that your state file is consistent with your infrastructure

How would you reference the volume IDs associated with the ebs_block_device blocks in this configuration?

aws_instance.example-ebs_block_device.*.volume_id

aws_instance.example.ebs_block_device[sda2,sda3).volume_id

aws_lnstance.example.ebs_block_device.[*].volume_id

aws_lnstance.example.ebs_block_device.volume_ids

aws_instance.example-ebs_block_device.*.volume_id

Which command should you run to check if all code in a Terraform configuration that references multiple modules is properly formatted without making changes?

terraform fmt -check -recursive

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). You develop a Terraform configuration containing one VM. perform terraform apply, and see that your VM was created successfully. What should you do to delete the newly-created VM with Terraform?

The Terraform state file only contains the one new VM. Execute terraform destroy.

The Terraform state file contains all 16 VMs in the team account. Execute terraform destroy and select the newly-created VM.

Delete the Terraform state file and execute terraform apply.

The Terraform state file only contains the one new VM. Execute terraform destroy.

Delete the VM using the cloud provider console and terraform apply to apply the changes to the Terraform state file.

When do changes invoked by terraform apply take effect?

Once the resource provider has fulfilled the request

After Terraform has updated the state file

Once the resource provider has fulfilled the request

What is the workflow for deploying new infrastructure with Terraform?

Write Terraform configuration, run terraform init to initialize the working directory or workspace, and run terraform apply

Write Terraform configuration, run terraform show to view proposed changes, and terraform apply to create new infrastructure

Write Terraform configuration, run terraform apply to create infrastructure, use terraform validate to confirm Terraform deployed resources correctly

Write Terraform configuration, run terraform plan to initialize the working directory or workspace, and terraform apply to create the infrastructure

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?

The organization decides to expand into Azure wishes to deploy new infrastructure

The team is asked to manage a new application stack built on AWS-native services

The organization decides to expand into Azure wishes to deploy new infrastructure

The team is asked to build a reusable code based that can deploy resources into any AWS region

The DevOps team is tasked with automating a manual, web console-based provisioning.

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

In the remote backend or Terraform Cloud

You add a new resource to an existing Terraform configuration, but do not update the version constraint in the configuration. The existing and new resources use the same provider. The working contains a .terraform.lock, hc1 file.How will Terraform choose which version of the provider to use?

Terraform will use the version recorded in your lock file

Terraform will use the latest version of the provider for the new resource and the version recorded in the lock file to manage existing resources

Terraform will check your state file to determine the provider version to use

Terraform will use the latest version of the provider available at the time you provision your new resource

What is a key benefit of the Terraform state file?

A state file is a source of truth for resources provisioned with Terraform

A state file can schedule recurring infrastructure tasks

A state file is a source of truth for resources provisioned with Terraform

A state file is a source of truth for resources provisioned with a public cloud console

A state file is the desired state expressed by the Terraform code files

You've used Terraform to deploy a virtual machine and a database. You want to replace this virtual machine instance with an identical one without affecting the database. What is the best way to achieve this using Terraform?

Use the terraform taint command targeting the VMs then run terraform plan and terraform apply

Use the terraform state rm command to remove the VM from state file

Use the terraform taint command targeting the VMs then run terraform plan and terraform apply

Use the terraform apply command targeting the VM resources only

Delete the Terraform VM resources from your Terraform code then run terraform plan and terraform apply

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

Declare the output in both the root and child module

Declare the output in the root configuration

Declare the output in the child module

Declare the output in both the root and child module
