Why would you use a provisioner during the destruction of a resource?

To update other resources when that resource is being removed

To ensure that the resource is removed in a timely manner

To refine the values stored in variables in the state file

To perform cleanup of additional components that may be related to the resource

How does Terraform assist in implementing tags?

Using Terraform with tagging ensures that each tag is unique

Using Terraform to apply tags makes sure that they are alphabetically sorted

Using Terraform ensures that tags are using syntactically correct values

Using Terraform ensures that tags are applied consistently across resources and providers

Why would you separate your variables out into their own Terraform file within a configuration?

You cannot separate variables into their own file, it will break existing configurations

Separating variables into their own file helps secure the values contained by the variables

To simplify the maintenance of variables by having a centralized location

This is a hard requirement of Terraform configurations

How would you go about installing the Terraform software?

Download the executable from the Terraform website and add it to your PATH variable

You cannot install Terraform, it only runs in the cloud

Download the installer from Terraform and click through the installer wizard

Within your Terraform configuration you have referenced a few modules, but when you run "terraform plan" you get a bunch of red text advising you to run "terraform get". What does that command do?

"terraform get" is not a valid command

"terraform get" compiles the source code for a module into an executable binary

"terraform get" imports the contents of a referenced module into the local configuration

"terraform get" downloads the latest Terraform software from Hashicorp along with new modules

What is the purpose of the element function?

It takes a list of objects and returns the first object in the list

It takes a map variable and a key and returns the value matching the key

It takes a string variable and an integer and returns the character at that position in the string

It takes a list of objects and a position integer and returns the object at that position in the list

You're trying to put together a complicated configuration with unfamiliar Terraform functions. What feature could you use to test out the logic implemented by those functions?

Terraform env

Terraform apply

Terraform plan

Terraform console

Idempotence is particularly important in automating infrastructure for what reason?

The order of operations for applying a configuration needs to be consistent and predictable

It ensures that communication between Terraform and the providers is secured

When an updated version of a configuration is applied, only those resources that have changed will be altered

Newer versions of Terraform will be able to update an existing configuration
