Terraform Associate Terraform-Associate-003 Book

The default “local” Terraform backend stores the state file in a local file named terraform.tfstate, which can be used to track and manage the state of your infrastructure3.

Sentinel policies are checked after the plan stage of a Terraform run, but before it can be confirmed or the terraform apply is executed3. This allows you to enforce rules on your infrastructure before it is created or modified.

This is the variable type that you could use for this input, as it can store multiple attributes of different types within a single value. The other options are either invalid or incorrect for this use case.

The Terraform Registry allows any user to publish and share modules. Published modules support versioning, automatically generate documentation, allow browsing version histories, show examples and READMEs, and more. Public modules are managed via Git and GitHub, and publishing a module takes only a few minutes. Once a module is published, releasing a new version of a module is as simple as pushing a properly formed Git tag1.
