Free Practice Questions for HashiCorp Terraform-Associate-003 Exam

In Terraform Cloud, you can switch between workspaces using both the web UI and CLI. The statement that you "must use the CLI" is false. Workspaces can securely store cloud credentials, offer role-based access control, and integrate with VCS to trigger plan and apply operations.

Terraform configuration can import modules from various sources, not only from the public registry. Modules can be sourced from local file paths, Git repositories, HTTP URLs, Mercurial repositories, S3 buckets, and GCS buckets. Terraform supports a number of common conventions and syntaxes for specifying module sources, as documented in the [Module Sources] page. References = [Module Sources]

A module cannot always refer to all variables declared in its parent module, as it needs to explicitly declare input variables and assign values to them from the parent module’s arguments. A module cannot access the parent module’s variables directly, unless they are passed as input arguments.

This is what will happen if you run terraform destroy without any flags, as it will attempt to delete all the resources that are associated with your current working directory or workspace. You can use the -target flag to specify a particular resource that you want to destroy.

Sentinel is a policy-as-code framework that allows you to define and enforce rules on your Terraform configurations, states, and plans1. Some of the benefits of using Sentinel with Terraform Cloud/Terraform Enterprise are:

•You can restrict specific resource configurations, such as disallowing the use of CIDR=0.0.0.0/0, which would open up your network to the entire internet. This can help you prevent misconfigurations or security vulnerabilities in your infrastructure2.

•Policy-as-code can enforce security best practices, such as requiring encryption, authentication, or compliance standards. This can help you protect your data and meet regulatory requirements3.

•You can enforce a list of approved AWS AMIs, which are pre-configured images that contain the operating system and software you need to run your applications. This can help you ensure consistency, reliability, and performance across your infrastructure4.

You need to write Terraform configuration files for the existing infrastructure that you want to import into Terraform, otherwise Terraform will not know how to manage it. The configuration files should match the type and name of the resources that you want to import.

Module variable assignments are not inherited from the parent module and you need to explicitly set them using the source argument. This allows you to customize the behavior of each module instance.

All of the statements are true of Terraform providers. Terraform providers are plugins that enable Terraform to interact with various APIs and services1. Anyone can write a Terraform provider, either as an individual or as part of a community2. HashiCorp maintains some providers, such as the AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud providers3. Cloud providers and infrastructure vendors can also write, maintain, or collaborate on Terraform providers, such as the VMware, Oracle, and Alibaba Cloud providers. References =

Module version is optional to reference a module on the Terraform Module Registry. If you omit the version constraint, Terraform will automatically use the latest available version of the module
