Overview of this book

Terraform is a highly sought-after technology for orchestrating infrastructure provisioning. This book is a complete reference guide to enhancing your infrastructure automation skills, offering up-to-date coverage of the HashiCorp infrastructure automation certification exam. This book is written in a clear and practical way with self-assessment questions and mock exams that will help you from a HashiCorp infrastructure automation certification exam perspective. This book covers end-to-end activities with Terraform, such as installation, writing its configuration file, Terraform modules, backend configurations, data sources, and infrastructure provisioning. You'll also get to grips with complex enterprise infrastructures and discover how to create thousands of resources with a single click. As you advance, you'll get a clear understanding of maintaining infrastructure as code (IaC) in Repo/GitHub, along with learning how to create, modify, and remove infrastructure resources as and when needed. Finally, you'll learn about Terraform Cloud and Enterprise and their enhanced features. By the end of this book, you'll have a handy, up-to-date desktop reference guide along with everything you need to pass the HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate exam with confidence.

Chapter 1

  1. Correct answer: B

Explanation: As covered in the What is Terraform? section, Terraform is an orchestration tool used for infrastructure provisioning and its efficient maintenance.

  1. Correct answers: A and B

Explanation: As covered in the Terraform architecture section, where we discussed what a Terraform plugin is, it contains both Terraform providers and provisioners.

  1. Correct answer: B

Explanation: As covered in the A comparison with other IaC section, we saw how Terraform differs from other IaC, such as an ARM template and CloudFormation, and we learned that Terraform configuration files are written in HCL.

  1. Correct answer: D

Explanation: Given that we already know that Azure, AWS, and GCP are providers, by following this logic, SAP is the only remaining option that is not a Terraform provider. In the future, you may well expect Terraform to have SAP providers as well, but this isn't the case at present.
