What is the name of the default file where Terraform stores the state?
Type your answer in the field provided. The text field is not case-sensitive and all variations of the correct answer are accepted.
Solution:
The name of the default file where Terraform stores the state is terraform.tfstate. This file contains a JSON representation of the current state of the infrastructure managed by Terraform. Terraform uses this file to track the metadata and attributes of the resources, and to plan and apply changes. By default, Terraform stores the state file locally in the same directory as the configuration files, but it can also be configured to store the state remotely in a backend.

Which command should you run to check if all code in a Terraform configuration that references multiple modules is properly formatted without making changes?

1. A. terraform fmt -write-false
2. B. terraform fmt -list -recursive
3. C. terraform fmt -check -recursive
4. D. terraform fmt -check

Correct Answer: C
This command will check if all code in a Terraform configuration that references multiple modules is properly formatted without making changes, and will return a non-zero exit code if any files need formatting. The other commands will either make changes, list the files that need formatting, or not check the modules.

The Terraform binary version and provider versions must match each other in a single configuration.

1. A. True
2. B. False

Correct Answer: B
The Terraform binary version and provider versions do not have to match each other in a single configuration. Terraform allows you to specify provider version constraints in the configuration??s terraform block, which can be different from the Terraform binary version1. Terraform will use the newest version of the provider that meets the configuration??s version constraints2. You can also use the dependency lock file to ensure Terraform is using the correct provider version3. References =

How would you reference the "name???? value of the second instance of this resource?

1. A. aws_instance.web(2),name
2. B. element(aws_instance.web, 2)
3. C. aws_instance-web(1)
4. D. aws_instance_web(1),name
5. E. Aws_instance,web,* , name

Correct Answer: D
In Terraform, when you use the count meta-argument, you can reference individual instances using an index. The indexing starts at 0, so to reference the "name" value of the second instance, you would use aws_instance.web[1].name. This syntax allows you to access the properties of specific instances in a list generated by the count argument.
