TA-002-P Exam Dumps - HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate
You need to deploy resources into two different cloud regions in the same Terraform configuration. To do that, you declare multiple provider configurations as follows:
What meta-argument do you need to configure in a resource block to deploy the resource to the “us-west-2†AWS region?
In contrast to Terraform Open Source, when working with Terraform Enterprise and Cloud Workspaces, conceptually you could think about them as completely separate working directories.
You want to know from which paths Terraform is loading providers referenced in your Terraform configuration (files). You need to enable debug messages to find this out.
Which of the following would achieve this?
If a module declares a variable with a default, that variable must also be defined within the module.
Setting the TF_LOG environment variable to DEBUG causes debug messages to be logged into syslog.
You have a simple Terraform configuration containing one virtual machine (VM) in a cloud provider. You run terraform apply and the VM is created successfully.
What will happen if you delete the VM using the cloud provider console, and run terraform apply again without changing any Terraform code?
Which of the following commands will launch the Interactive console for Terraform interpolations?
Provider dependencies are created in several different ways. Select the valid provider dependencies from the following list: (select three)
Running terraform fmt without any flags in a directory with Terraform configuration files will check the formatting of those files without changing their contents.
You want to define multiple data disks as nested blocks inside the resource block for a virtual machine. What Terraform feature would help you define the blocks using the values in a variable?
You have modified your Terraform configuration to fix a typo in the Terraform ID of a resource from aws_security_group.http to aws_security_group.http
Which of the following commands would you run to update the ID in state without destroying the resource?
terraform refresh
terraform apply
terraform mv aws-security-group.htp aws-security-group.http
When you use a remote backend that needs authentication. HashrCorp recommends that you:
What are some of the problems of how infrastructure was traditionally managed before Infrastructure as Code? (select three)
True or False? When using the Terraform provider for Vault, the tight integration between these HashiCorp tools provides the ability to mask secrets in the terraform plan and state files.
Terraform will sync all resources in state by default for every plan and apply, hence for larger infrastructures this can slow down terraform plan and terraform apply commands?
As a member of the operations team, you need to run a script on a virtual machine created by Terraform. Which provisioned is best to use in your Terraform code?
Open source Terraform can only import publicly-accessible and open-source modules.
Anyone can publish and share modules on the Terraform Public Module Registry, and meeting the requirements for publishing a module is extremely easy. Select from the following list all valid requirements. (select three)
While Terraform is generally written using the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL), what other syntax can Terraform are expressed in?
Your developers are facing a lot of problem while writing complex expressions involving difficult interpolations . They have to run the terraform plan every time and check whether there are errors , and also check terraform apply to print the value as a temporary output for debugging purposes. What should be done to avoid this?
Terraform init can indeed be run only a few times, because, every time terraform init will initialize the project , and download all plugins from the internet repository , regardless of whether they were present or not , and this increases the waiting time
What is the standard workflow that a developer follows while working with terraform open source version?
Refer to the below code where developer is outputting the value of the database password but has used sensitive parameter to hide the output value in the CLI.
output "db_password" { value = aws_db_instance.db.password description = "The password for logging in to the database." sensitive = true}
Since sensitive is set to true, the value associated with db password will not be present in state file as plain-text?
What is the command you can use to set an environment variable named "var1"of type String?
You have created 2 workspaces PROD and RQA. You have switched to RQA and provisioned RQA infrastructure from this workspace. Where is your state file stored?
You want to use different AMI images for different regions and for the purpose you have defined following code block.
1.variable "images"
2.{
3. type = "map"
4.
5. default = {
6. us-east-1 = "image-1234"
7. us-west-2 = "image-4567"
8. us-west-1 = "image-4589"
9. }
10.}
What of the following approaches needs to be followed in order to select image-4589?
You want to get involved in the development of Terraform. As this is an open source project, you would like to contribute a fix for an open issue of Terraform. What programming language will need to use to write the fix?
Please identify the offerings which are unique to Terraform Enterprise, and not available in either Terraform OSS, or Terraform Cloud. Select four.
Which Terraform command will force a marked resource to be destroyed and recreated on the next apply?
The Terraform language does not support user-defined functions, and so only the functions built in to the language are available for use.
Environment variables can be used to set variables. The environment variables must be in the format "____"_
You want to use terraform import to start managing infrastructure that was not originally provisioned through infrastructure as code. Before you can import the resource's current state, what must you do in order to prepare to manage these resources using Terraform?
terraform refresh command will not modify infrastructure, but does modify the state file.
If you enable TF_LOG = DEBUG, the log will be stored in syslog.log file in the currect directory.
Hanah is writing a terraform configuration with nested modules, there are multiple places where she has to use the same conditional expression but she wants to avoid repeating the same values or expressions multiple times in the configuration,. What is a better approach to dealing with this?
Your manager has instructed you to start using terraform for your day-to-day operations, but your security team is concerned about the terraform state files. They have heard it contains confidential information, and are worried that it will not be securely protected. What should be your response to the security team in this regard?
You have created an AWS EC2 instance of type t2.micro through your terraform configuration file ec2.tf . Now you want to change the instance type from t2.micro to t2.medium. Accordingly you have changed your configuration file and and ran terraform plan. After running terraform plan you check the output and saw one instance will be updated from t2.micro --> t2.medium. After this you went to grab a coffee without running terraform apply and meanwhile a member of your team changed the instance type of that EC2 instance to t2.medium from aws console. After coming to your desk you run terraform apply. What will happen?
Which of the below features of Terraform can be used for managing small differences between different environments which can act more like completely separate working directories.
1. resource "aws_s3_bucket" "example" {
2. bucket = "my-test-s3-terraform-bucket"
3. …} resource "aws_iam_role" "test_role" {
4. name = "test_role"
5. …}
Due to the way that the application code is written, the s3 bucket must be created before the test role is created, otherwise there will be a problem. How can you ensure that?
Dawn has created the below child module. Without changing the module, can she override the instance_type from t2.micro to t2.large form her code while calling this module?
1. resource "aws_instance" "myec2"
2. {
3. ami = "ami-082b5a644766e0e6f"
4. instance_type = "t2.micro
5. }
Ric wants to enable detail logging and he wants highest verbosity of logs. Which of the following environment variable settings is correct option for him to select.
Jim has created several AWS resources from a single terraform configuration file. Someone from his team has manually modified one of the EC2 instance.
Now to discard the manual change, Jim wants to destroy and recreate the EC2 instance. What is the best way to do it?
Every region in AWS has a different AMI ID for Linux and these are keep on changing. What is the best approach to create the EC2 instances that can deal with different AMI IDs based on regions?
In regards to Terraform state file, select all the statements below which are correct?
