Name all provisioner types
- Creation-time provisioner
- Destroy-time provisioner

What is state?
Maps real-world resources to terraform configuration
How is dependency metadata tracked?
State file track dependency metadata
Name 3 terraform state commands:
- terraform state list
- terraform state show <resource></resource>
- terraform state rm <resource></resource>
Name advantages of storing state remotely:
- enables distributed teams
- security rules -> granular access
- allows locking state so parallel executions don’t coincide
- enables sharing “output” values with other Terraform configuration or code
terraform init fails with remote state (S3). Why?
S3 bucket does not exist (must exist before init execution)
What is a module?
a module is a container for multiple resources that are used together
How can you download a module?
- Terraform Public Registry

True
the outputs declared inside Terraform module code can be fed back into the root module or your main code. True?
True
Name all primitive types:
- string
- number
- bool
(4. any)
What complex types are there?
- Collection type
- Structural type
Define collection type
Collection types allow multiple values of one primitive type to be grouped together
Define structural type
A structured type allows multiple values of different types
Name all collection types:
- list
- set
- map
Name all structural types
- object(type)
- tuple(type)
Name all block types that support dynamic blocks:
- resource
- data
- provider
- provisioner
