Exam Terraform Associate topic 1 question 145 discussion

A and C are the same with a alternate target, and terraform can provision to local on prem resources (VMware for example) , B is pretty much the reason providers are there for me.

to me BCE sounds ok

seems like ABC options are correct

A,B,C sounds good to me.

Terraform can be used for Provision resources for on-premises infrastructure services

B. Simplify API interactions. C. Provision resources for public cloud infrastructure services. E. Group a collection of Terraform configuration files that map to a single state file. Terraform uses providers to interact with infrastructure services, both on-premises and in the public cloud. Providers are responsible for managing the lifecycle of resources, including creating, updating, and deleting resources as needed. Providers also simplify API interactions by abstracting away the details of the underlying APIs and presenting a unified interface to Terraform. Enforcing security and compliance policies is not a primary responsibility of providers, although some providers may offer features to help with these tasks. Option A is incorrect because while providers can be used to manage on-premises infrastructure services, this is not their only purpose. Option E is incorrect because while Terraform workspaces can be used to group a collection of Terraform configuration files that map to a single state file, this is not the purpose of providers.

ABC https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/providers#what-providers-do

Def not D and E

A. Provision resources for on-premises infrastructure services: Providers can be used to provision resources for on-premises infrastructure services like VMWare, OpenStack, etc. C. Provision resources for public cloud infrastructure services: Providers can be used to provision resources for public cloud infrastructure services like AWS, GCP, Azure, etc. D. Enforce security and compliance policies: Providers can be used to enforce security and compliance policies like IAM roles and policies, security groups, firewall rules, etc.

BCD,Option A (provision resources for on-premises infrastructure services) is not necessarily true, as not all providers support on-premises infrastructure. Option E (group a collection of Terraform configuration files that map to a single state file) is not related to providers.

ABC for me

ABC 4 sure

Provider is used to provison resources A on prem C on cloud. B to use API communication

sure for BCE

ABC A Terraform Provider represents an integration that is responsible for understanding API interactions with the underlying infrastructure, such as a public cloud service (AWS, GCP, Azure), a PaaS service (Heroku), a SaaS service (DNSimple, CloudFlare), or on-prem resources (vSphere).

ABC - for me too

E is talking about module. "Terraform evaluates all of the configuration files in a module, effectively treating the entire module as a single document. "
