Infrastructure as code (IaC) is a standard practice of maintaining infrastructure configuration as code. Terraform is a cross-platform tool that introduces the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) for the provisioning of infrastructures on different cloud platforms like Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.

First you’ll learn about the basics of IaC and the tools used for it. Next, you’ll learn about Terraform, how to deploy resources using it, and the Terraform state file. Then you’ll cover the basics of HCL, followed by how to work with outputs, expressions, and loops. You’ll also cover local and remote provisioners, and learn how to employ HCL to provision and manage resources using different concepts like modules, variables, provisioners, and the Terraform state file. Finally, you’ll learn how to use the Terraform Cloud.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to provision, delete, and update resources on a cloud platform using Terraform. Knowing how to use Terraform effectively will set you up for success.

Which feature of Terraform ensures reusability?

Which feature of Terraform ensures reusability?

**(True or False)** A single Terraform configuration file can't be used across different environments. 

(True or False) A single Terraform configuration file can’t be used across different environments.

Which command will help us create and switch to a new workspace called `dev`?

Which command will help us create and switch to a new workspace called <code>dev</code>?

```
module "./my_module" {
  source = "mymodule"
  // other module configuration options
}
```

```
module "./my_module/" {
  source = "mymodule"
  // other module configuration options
}
```

```
module "my_module" {
  source = "./my_module"
  // other module configuration options
}
```

```
module "mymodule" {
  source = "./my_module/"
  // other module configuration options
}
```

Which code block correctly references a module named `mymodule` and is located in the path `my_module` at the root of the Terraform project?

Which code block correctly references a module named <code>mymodule</code> and is located in the path <code>my_module</code> at the root of the Terraform project?

```
terraform {
  backend "s3" {
    bucket = "statefile_name"
    key    = "terraform.tfstate"
    region = "us-west-2"
  }
}
```

```
backend "s3" {
  bucket = "statefile_name"
  key    = "terraform.tfstate"
  region = "us-west-2"
}
```

```
provider "aws" {
  backend "s3" {
    bucket = "statefile_name"
    key    = "terraform.tfstate"
    region = "us-west-2"
  }
}
```

Which option correctly represents the Terraform backend configuration for using an AWS S3 bucket named `statefile_name` in the `us-west-2` region as a remote backend?

Which option correctly represents the Terraform backend configuration for using an AWS S3 bucket named <code>statefile_name</code> in the <code>us-west-2</code> region as a remote backend?
