exercise 2

Terraform is an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) platform that allows users to manage and integrate various external resources as united infrastructure. This is achieved by using the proprietary HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) or JSON.

This course is a comprehensive introduction to Terraform. It helps users build confidence through foundational understanding of Terraform’s approach to resource management and the coding environment. You’ll start with an introduction to Terraform and learn how to set up local files. You’ll then take your learning to the cloud, managing remote resources by identifying unique resources and dependencies. Next, you’ll learn the modules and data structures unique to Terraform before practicing various techniques for infrastructure management, including triggers, resource creation, and backend code.

By the end of this course, you’ll have learned to think creatively and be ready to solve production and deployment problems through Terraform.

Beginner’s Guide to Terraform

Once set up, you can run a Terraform module with which input?


Once set up, you can run a Terraform module with which input?

A REST call to a daemon running on your system that configures your infrastructure

An infrastructure object that is under Terraform’s control

**(True or False)** The Terraform state file is an unreadable binary file.


(True or False) The Terraform state file is an unreadable binary file.

It is replaced by the directory path to the Terraform module. 

It is a variable that can be embedded into a string .

It allows the Terraform file to place files in a different folder .

It prints a command to the terminal that shows where the code is.

Which is true about the `${path.module}` string in a Terraform file? 

Which is true about the <code>${path.module}</code> string in a Terraform file?

It throws an error because a state file is required for this to run.

`terraform show` is not a valid command.


If you remove the data source referred to in your module and rerun `terraform apply`, what will Terraform do?


If you remove the data source referred to in your module and rerun <code>terraform apply</code>, what will Terraform do?

**(True or False)** The Terraform state file contains the same information as the `terraform show` command; it just shows it to you in a different form.


(True or False) The Terraform state file contains the same information as the <code>terraform show</code> command; it just shows it to you in a different form.

connect to the data source and output its contents
