HashiCorp Terraform Associate 003 Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 5

This is what you must do to successfully retrieve this value from your networking module, as it will expose the attribute as an output value that can be referenced by other modules or resources. The error message indicates that the networking module does not have an output value namedvnet_id, which causes the reference to fail.

This is where the Terraform local backend stores its state, by default, unless you specify a different file name or location in your configuration. The local backend is the simplest backend type that stores the state file on your local disk.

This is where Terraform cannot load a provider from, as it requires a compiled binary file that implements the provider protocol. You can load a provider from a plugins directory, a provider plugin cache, or the official HashiCorp distribution on releases.hashicorp.com.

The execution plan forterraform applywill not be the same as the one you ran locally withterraform plan, if your teammate manually modified the infrastructure component you are working on. This is because Terraform will refresh the state file before applying any changes, and will detect any differences between the state and the real resources.

These are the parameters thatterraform importrequires, 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.

When you use a remote backend that needs authentication, HashiCorp recommends that you:

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.

This is the meta-argument that you must include in any non-default provider configurations, as it allows you to give a friendly name to the configuration and reference it in other parts of your code. The other options are either invalid or irrelevant for this purpose.

Terraform variable names are not saved in the state file, only their values are. The state file only stores the attributes of the resources and data sources that are managed by Terraform, not the variables that are used to configure them.
