NEW QUESTION # 158
The current implementation of Terraform import can only import resources into the state. It does not generate
configuration.
- A. True
- B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
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.
While this may seem tedious, it still gives Terraform users an avenue for importing existing resources.

NEW QUESTION # 163
Command terraform refresh will update state file?
- A. True
- B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
The terraform refresh command is used to reconcile the state Terraform knows about (via its state file) with the real-world infrastructure. This can be used to detect any drift from the last-known state, and to update the state file.
This does not modify infrastructure, but does modify the state file. If the state is changed, this may cause changes to occur during the next plan or apply.

Which of the following actions are performed during a terraform init?
- A. Download the declared providers which are supported by HashiCorp
- B. Initializes the backend configuration
- C. Provisions the declared resources in your configuration
- D. Initializes downloaded and/or installed providers
Answer: A,B,D
Explanation:
Explanation
The terraform init command is used to initialize a working directory containing Terraform configuration files.
This is the first command that should be run after writing a new Terraform configuration or cloning an existing one from version control. It is safe to run this command multiple times.
This command is always safe to run multiple times, to bring the working directory up to date with changes in the configuration. Though subsequent runs may give errors, this command will never delete your existing configuration or state.
terraform init command does -
* Copy a Source Module
* Backend Initialization
* Child Module Installation
* Plugin Installation

NEW QUESTION # 172
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.
- A. Environment Variables
- B. Backends
- C. Workspaces
- D. Repositories
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
workspaces allow conveniently switching between multiple instances of a single configuration within its single backend. They are convenient in a number of situations, but cannot solve all problems.
A common use for multiple workspaces is to create a parallel, distinct copy of a set of infrastructure in order to test a set of changes before modifying the main production infrastructure. For example, a developer working on a complex set of infrastructure changes might create a new temporary workspace in order to freely experiment with changes without affecting the default workspace.
Non-default workspaces are often related to feature branches in version control. The default workspace might correspond to the "master" or "trunk" branch, which describes the intended state of production infrastructure.
When a feature branch is created to develop a change, the developer of that feature might create a corresponding workspace and deploy into it a temporary "copy" of the main infrastructure so that changes can be tested without affecting the production infrastructure. Once the change is merged and deployed to the default workspace, the test infrastructure can be destroyed and the temporary workspace deleted.
