When should Terraform configuration files be written when running terraform import on existing infrastructure?

1. A. Infrastructure can be imported without corresponding Terraform code
2. B. Terraform will generate the corresponding configuration files for you
3. C. You should write Terraform configuration files after the next terraform import is executed
4. D. Terraform configuration should be written before terraform import is executed

Correct Answer: D
The current implementation of Terraform import can only import resources into the state. It does not generate configuration. A future version of Terraform will also generate configuration.
Because of this, prior to running terraform import it is necessary to write manually a resource configuration block for the resource, to which the imported object will be mapped.

Which of the following Terraform files should be ignored by Git when committing code to a repo? (select Three)

1. A. Files named exactly terraform.tfvars or terraform.tfvars.json.
2. B. Any files with names ending in .auto.tfvars or .auto.tfvars.json.
3. C. input.tf
4. D. terraform.tfstate
5. E. output.tf

Correct Answer: ABD
The .gitignore file should be configured to ignore Terraform files that either contain sensitive data or are not required to save.
Terraform state (terraform.tfstate) can contain sensitive data, depending on the resources in use and your definition of "sensitive." The state contains resource IDs and all resource attributes. For resources such as databases, this may contain initial passwords.
When using local state, state is stored in plain-text JSON files.
The terraform.tfvars file may contain sensitive data, such as passwords or IP addresses of an environment that you may not want to share with others.

Your company has been using Terraform Cloud for a some time now . But every team is creating their own modules , and there is no standardization of the modules , with each team creating the resources in their own unique way . You want to enforce a standardization of the modules across the enterprise . What should be your approach.

1. A. Create individual workspaces for each team , and ask them to share modules across workspaces.
2. B. Implement a Private module registry in Terraform cloud , and ask teams to reference them.
3. C. Upgrade to Terraform enterprise , since this is not possible in terraform cloud.
4. D. Upload the modules in the terraform public module registry , and ask teams to reference them

Correct Answer: B
Terraform Cloud's private module registry helps you share Terraform modules across your organization. It includes support for module versioning, a searchable and filterable list of available modules, and a configuration designer to help you build new workspaces faster.
By design, the private module registry works much like the public Terraform Registry. If you're already used the public registry, Terraform Cloud's registry will feel familiar.
Understand the different offerings in Terraform OS, Terraform Cloud and Terraform Enterprise. Terraform Cloud's private module registry helps you share Terraform modules across your organization.
