HashiCorp Terraform-Associate-003 Exam Dumps

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

Answer DescriptionExplanation: This is the scenario that poses a challenge for this team, if they adopt AWS CloudFormation as their standardized method for provisioning public cloud resources, as CloudFormation only supports AWS services and resources, and cannot be used to provision infrastructure on other cloud platforms such as Azure.

B.   False

Answer DescriptionExplanation: A module can declare a variable with a default value without requiring the caller to define it. This allows the module to provide a sensible default behavior that can be customized by the caller if needed. References = [Module Variables]

B.   Delete the state before running Terraform

Answer DescriptionExplanation: To prevent two Terraform runs from changing the same state file simultaneously, state locking is used. State locking ensures that when one Terraform operation is running, others will be blocked from making changes to the same state, thus preventing conflicts and data corruption. This is achieved by configuring the state backend to support locking, which will lock the state for all operations that could write to the state.References = This information is supported by Terraform's official documentation, which explains the importance of state locking and how it can be configured for different backends to prevent concurrent state modifications .

A.   When you change a Terraform-managed resource via the Azure Cloud Console, Terraform updates the state file to reflect the change during the next plan or apply


D.   Changing resources via the Azure Cloud Console does not update current state file

Answer DescriptionExplanation: Terraform state is a representation of the infrastructure that Terraform manages. Terraform uses state to track the current status of the resources it creates and to plan future changes. However, Terraform state is not aware of any changes made to the resources outside of Terraform, such as through the Azure Cloud Console, the Azure CLI, or the Azure API.
Therefore, changing resources via the Azure Cloud Console does not update the current state file, and it may cause inconsistencies or conflicts with Terraform’s desired configuration. To avoid this, it is recommended to manage resources exclusively through Terraform or to use the terraform import command to bring existing resources under Terraform’s control.
When you change a Terraform-managed resource via the Azure Cloud Console, Terraform does not immediately update the state file to reflect the change. However, the next time you run terraform plan or terraform apply, Terraform will compare the state file with the actual state of the resources in Azure and detect any drifts or differences. Terraform will then update the state file to match the current state of the resources and show you the proposed changes in the execution plan. Depending on the configuration and the change, Terraform may try to undo the change, modify the resource further, or recreate the resource entirely. To avoid unexpected or destructive changes, it is recommended to review the execution plan carefully before applying it or to use the terraform refresh command to update the state file without applying any changes.

B.   False

Answer DescriptionExplanation: You do not need to use different Terraform commands depending on the cloud provider you use. Terraform commands are consistent across different providers, as they operate on the Terraform configuration files and state files, not on the provider APIs directly.

C.   A web-based user interface (Ul)


D.   Remote state storage

Answer DescriptionExplanation: These are features of Terraform Cloud, which is a hosted service that provides a webbased UI, remote state storage, remote operations, collaboration features, and more for managing your Terraform infrastructure.

A.   choaf

Answer DescriptionExplanation: This is not a valid string function in Terraform. The other options are valid string functions that can manipulate strings in various ways2.

C.   State file drift

Answer DescriptionExplanation: The terraform refresh-only command is intended to detect state file drift. This command synchronizes the state file with the actual infrastructure, updating the state to reflect any changes that have occurred outside of Terraform.
