Exam Terraform Associate topic 1 question 7 discussion

No. Answer is remote-exec. because...The local-exec provisioner invokes a local executable after a resource is created. This invokes a process on the machine running Terraform, not on the resource. (this is from the terraform web site)

A is correct answer : remote-exec. "The local-exec provisioner invokes a local executable after a resource is created. This invokes a process on the machine running Terraform, not on the resource." https://www.terraform.io/language/resources/provisioners/local-exec "The remote-exec provisioner invokes a script on a remote resource after it is created." https://www.terraform.io/language/resources/provisioners/remote-exec

The remote-exec provisioner invokes a script on a remote resource created by Terraform. It connects to the resource using SSH or WinRM and runs the provided inline or script commands. Here's an example of how you might use it: resource "aws_instance" "example" { ami = "ami-0c94855ba95c574c8" instance_type = "t2.micro" provisioner "remote-exec" { inline = [ "echo Hello, World! > /home/ubuntu/hello", "chmod +x /home/ubuntu/hello", ] } } There's no null-exec provisioner in Terraform. The local-exec provisioner invokes a local executable after a resource is created. It runs on the machine where Terraform is being executed. The file provisioner is used to copy files or directories from the machine executing Terraform to the newly created resource.

A is correct ans : "process on the resource" is key point here. so remote-exec. The local-exec provisioner invokes a local executable after a resource is created. This invokes a process on the machine running Terraform, not on the resource.

A. remote-exec

remote-exec -> A

A - correct answer : remote-exec

Vote A. local-exec provisioner is execute on the local machine.

Definitely Remote-exec

A is correct

A is the correct answer : remote-exec

The remote-exec provisioner invokes a script on a remote resource after it is created. This can be used to run a configuration management tool, bootstrap into a cluster, etc. To invoke a local process, see the local-exec provisioner instead. The remote-exec provisioner requires a connection and supports both ssh and winrm. remote-exec correct

I think it is remote-exec, the question is asking about on the resource created by terraform. local-exec runs on the machine where we run terraform.

I take A remote-exec.

The local-exec provisioner invokes a local executable after a resource is created. This invokes a process on the machine running Terraform, not on the resource. See the remote-exec provisioner to run commands on the resource. https://www.terraform.io/language/resources/provisioners/local-exec

Isn't local exec also correct?
