Question 51

What Terraform command always causes a state file to be updated with changes that might have been made outside of Terraform?
This is the command that always causes a state file to be updated with changes that might have been made outside of Terraform, as it will only refresh the state file with the current status of the real resources, without making any changes to them or creating a plan.
Question 52

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?
This will enable additional logging messages to find out from which paths Terraform is loading providers referenced in your Terraform configuration files, as it will set the log level toTRACE, which is the most verbose and detailed level.
Question 53

Which of the following is not a valid Terraform collection type?
This is not a valid Terraform collection type, as Terraform only supports three collection types: list, map, and set. A tree is a data structure that consists of nodes with parent-child relationships, which is not supported by Terraform.
Question 54

What does state looking accomplish?
This is what state locking accomplishes, by preventing other users from modifying the state file while a Terraform operation is in progress. This prevents conflicts and data loss.
Question 55

What does this code do?
This is what this code does, by using the pessimistic constraint operator (~>), which specifies an acceptable range of versions for a provider or module.
Question 56

Only the user that generated a plan may apply it.
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 57

You cannot install third party plugins using terraform init.
You can install third party plugins usingterraform init, as long as you specify the plugin directory in your configuration or as a command-line argument. You can also use theterraform providers mirrorcommand to create a local mirror of providers from any source.
Question 58

Which of these ate features of Terraform Cloud? Choose two correct answers.
These are features of Terraform Cloud, which is a hosted service that provides a web-based UI, remote state storage, remote operations, collaboration features, and more for managing your Terraform infrastructure.
Question 59

Setting theTF_LOGenvironment variable toDEBUGcauses debug messages to be logged into stdout, along with other log levels such asTRACE,INFO,WARN, andERROR. This can be useful for troubleshooting or debugging purposes.
Question 60

How does the Terraform cloud integration differ from other state backends such as S3, Consul,etc?
This is how the Terraform Cloud integration differs from other state backends such as S3, Consul, etc., as it allows you to perform remote operations on Terraform Cloud's servers instead of your local machine. The other options are either incorrect or irrelevant.
