Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
What is Infrastructure as Code? - CORRECT ANSWER- You write and execute the code to
define, deploy, update, and destroy your infrastructure
What are the benefits of IaC? - CORRECT ANSWER- a. Automation -We can bring up the
servers with one script and scale up and down based on our load with the same script.
b. Reusability of the code - We can reuse the same code
c. Versioning - We can check it into version control and we get versioning. Now we can see
an incremental history of who changed what, how is our infrastructure actually defined at any
given point of time, and we have this transparency of documentation
IaC makes changes idempotent, consistent, repeatable, and predictable.
How using IaC make it easy to provision infrastructure? - CORRECT ANSWER- IaC makes
it easy to provision and apply infrastructure configurations, saving time. It standardizes
workflows across different infrastructure providers (e.g., VMware, AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.)
by using a common syntax across all of them.
What is Ideompodent in terms of IaC? - CORRECT ANSWER- The idempotent
characteristic provided by IaC tools ensures that, even if the same code is applied multiple
times, the result remains the same.
What are Day 0 and Day 1 activities? - CORRECT ANSWER- IaC can be applied throughout
the lifecycle, both on the initial build, as well as throughout the life of the infrastructure.
Commonly, these are referred to as Day 0 and Day 1 activities.
"Day 0" code provisions and configures your initial infrastructure.
"Day 1" refers to OS and application configurations you apply after you've initially built your
infrastructure.
What are the advantages of Terraform? - CORRECT ANSWER- Platform Agnostic
State Management
Operator Confidence
, Where do you describe all the components or your entire datacenter so that Terraform
provision those? - CORRECT ANSWER- Configuration files ends with *.tf
How can Terraform build infrastructure so efficiently? - CORRECT ANSWER- Terraform
builds a graph of all your resources, and parallelizes the creation and modification of any
non-dependent resources. Because of this, Terraform builds infrastructure as efficiently as
possible, and operators get insight into dependencies in their infrastructure.
What is multi-cloud deployment? - CORRECT ANSWER- Provisioning your infrastructure
into multiple cloud providers to increase fault-tolerance of your applications.
How multi-cloud deployment is useful? - CORRECT ANSWER- By using only a single
region or cloud provider, fault tolerance is limited by the availability of that provider.
Having a multi-cloud deployment allows for more graceful recovery of the loss of a region or
entire provider.
What is cloud-agnostic in terms of provisioning tools? - CORRECT ANSWER- cloud-
agnostic and allows a single configuration to be used to manage multiple providers, and to
even handle cross-cloud dependencies.
What is the use of terraform being cloud-agnostic? - CORRECT ANSWER- It simplifies
management and orchestration, helping operators build large-scale multi-cloud
infrastructures.
What is the Terraform State? - CORRECT ANSWER- Every time you run Terraform, it
records information about what infrastructure it created in a Terraform state file.
By default, when you run Terraform in the folder /some/folder, Terraform creates the file
/some/folder/terraform.tfstate.
This file contains a custom JSON format that records a mapping from the Terraform
resources in your configuration files to the representation of those resources in the real world.
