bucket = "my-test-s3-terraform-bucket" ...
}
resource "aws_iam_role" "test_role" {
name = "test_role" ...
}
Due to the way that the application code is written , the s3 bucket must be created
before the test role is created , otherwise there will be a problem.
How can you ensure that?
Add explicit dependency using depends_on . This will ensure the correct order of
resource creation.
Which of the below backends support state locking?

Your developers are facing a lot of problem while writing complex expressions

value as a temporary output for debugging purposes.
What should be done to avoid this?
Use terraform console command to have an interactive UI with full access to the
underlying terraform state to run your interpolations , and debug at real-time.

Talal is a DevOps engineer and he has deployed the production infrastructure
using Terraform. He is using a very large configuration file to maintain and

experiencing slowness when he run runs terraform plan. What are the options for
him to resolve this slowness?
- Use -refresh=false flag as well as the -target flag with terraform plan in order to work

Roles and Team Management
Your team has started using terraform OSS in a big way, and now wants to deploy
multi region deployments (DR) in aws using the same terraform files.
You want to deploy the same infra (VPC,EC2 ...) in both us-east-1 ,and us-west-2
using the same script , and then peer the VPCs across both the regions to enable
DR traffic. But , when you run your script , all resources are getting created in
only the default provider region. What should you do? Your provider setting is as
below -
# The default provider configuration provider "aws" { region = "us-east-1" }
Use provider alias functionality , and add another provider for us-west region . While
creating the resources using the tf script , reference the appropriate provider (using the
alias).
John is writing a module and within the module, there are multiple places where

What are some of the problems of how infrastructure was traditionally managed
before Infrastructure as Code?
- Traditional deployment methods are not able to meet the demands of the modern
business where resources tend to live days to weeks, rather than months to years
- Traditionally managed infrastructure can't keep up with cyclic or elastic applications
- Requests for infrastructure or hardware required a ticket, increasing the time required
to deploy applications
You have configured an Auto Scaling group in AWS to automatically scale the
number of instances behind a load balancer based on the instances CPU
utilization. The instances are configured using a Launch Configuration. You have
observed that the Auto Scaling group doesn't successfully scale when you apply
changes that require replacing the Launch Configuration. Why is this happening?
You need to configure the Launch Configuration's create_before_destroy meta-
parameter.

region = "us-west-2"
}
What meta-argument do you need to configure in a resource block to deploy the
resource to the "us-west-2" AWS region?
alias = west
