Newly Released HashiCorp Terraform-Associate-003 Exam PDF

The terraform taint command marks a resource as tainted, which means it will be destroyed and recreated on the next apply. This way, you can replace the VM instance without affecting the database or other resources. References = [Terraform Taint]

This is a bad practice, as it exposes your credentials to anyone who can access your configuration files or state files. You should use environment variables, credential files, or other mechanisms to provide credentials to Terraform.

In the given Terraform configuration snippet:

resource "aws_vpc" "main" {

name = "test"

}

The provider for the resource aws_vpc is aws. The provider is specified by the prefix of the resource type. In this case, aws_vpc indicates that the resource type vpc is provided by the aws provider.

Running terraform fmt without any flags in a directory with Terraform configuration files will not check the formatting of those files without changing their contents, but will actually rewrite them to a canonical format and style. If you want to check the formatting without making changes, you need to use the -check flag.
