Which feature of Terraform does the admin team use to provide the development team with the relevant information for development once the infrastructure is provisioned?

Choose the correct answer.

Sending the Terraform state to the development team.

Output values.

Sending e-mails through Terraform provisioners.

The development team gains access through "terraform login".

What data types are supported as input for the "for_each" meta-argument?

There are two correct answers.

Set of strings.

Object.

Map of strings.

List of strings.

Why would you introduce modules to your Terraform configuration?

There are two correct answers.

To make simple configurations more complex.

To extract reusable configuration blocks and keep your configuration DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself).

To foster consistency between different configurations.

To restrict the usage of common configuration parts to dedicated teams.

Why can’t we combine the Terraform provider for SAP BTP and the Terraform provider Cloud Foundry in one multi-provider flow in the course setup?

Choose the correct answer.

Because the Terraform provider for Cloud Foundry does not support the multi-provider setup features of the Terraform framework.

Because Terraform does not allow dynamic configuration of providers. This feature would be required because the CF API URL is not created until resource provisioning. However, to configure the Terraform provider for Cloud Foundry, you need the CF API URL.

Because the Terraform provider for SAP BTP does not support the multi-provider setup features of the Terraform framework.

All of the above.

Where can you store Terraform modules?

There are three correct answers.

Locally.

In a registry.

On GitHub.

In the state store alongside the state.

In HashiCorp Vault.

Which meta-argument does Terraform provide that allows you to iterate over a set or a map to create multiple instances of a resource?

Choose the correct answer.

for_each

count

depends_on

loop_at

What would the admin/platform team like to achieve after provisioning the infrastructure for the development team?

Choose the correct answer.

Hand over the complete Terraform setup to the development team so that they are in charge.

E-mail the manager of the team indicating that their tasks are completed.

As the infrastructure is in place, there is nothing more to do.

Provide the required information, such as the CF API URL to the development team to kick-start their development.

What do you have to consider when introducing modules after the infrastructure has already been deployed and a Terraform state exists?

Choose the correct answer.

You must delete the state file, as Terraform must refresh the state.

As the addresses of the resources change, you must ensure that the state is adjusted accordingly through "moved" blocks.

As you changed the configuration, you must first delete and then re-create all resources.

There is nothing to consider, as Terraform handles everything for you.

How does Terraform support the provisioning of infrastructure backed by different providers?

Choose the correct answer.

Terraform configurations can integrate multiple providers within a single setup, allowing for a multi-provider configuration.

Terraform supports configuring multiple providers in one setup, but only on the HashiCorp Cloud Platform.

A Terraform configuration can utilize only one provider. However, the Terraform CLI can orchestrate different configurations in a unified process.

Terraform configurations can only integrate multiple providers in a single setup if the providers are from the same vendor.
