💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the actual bucket name instead of a resource identifier.

Using invalid characters or spaces in the resource name.

The resource name inside quotes is an identifier used to reference this resource in Terraform. 'my_bucket' is a clear and valid name.

Complete the code to specify the AWS provider version in Terraform.

Terraform

    aws = {

      version = "[1]"
    }
  }
}

B"^ 4.0"

C"~> 2.0"

D"= 3.0"

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '^ 4.0' which has invalid syntax (space after ^).

Using exact version '=' which is too restrictive.

The version constraint '~> 4.0' means any version from 4.0 up to but not including 5.0, which is a common best practice.

Fix the error in the resource block by completing the missing attribute for the AWS EC2 instance type.

Terraform

  ami           = "ami-0c55b159cbfafe1f0"
  [1] = "t2.micro"
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect attribute names like 'type_instance' or 'vm_type'.

Omitting the instance type attribute entirely.

The correct attribute to specify the EC2 instance size is 'instance_type'.

Fill both blanks to create a resource block for an AWS security group with a description and a name.

Terraform

resource "aws_security_group" "[1]" {
  name        = "[2]"
  description = "Allow SSH access"
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Dssh-access

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing resource name and AWS resource name.

Using spaces or invalid characters in names.

The resource name is 'ssh_sg' and the security group name is 'ssh-access', which clearly describe the purpose.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to define an AWS IAM user resource with a name, path, and tags.

Terraform

resource "aws_iam_user" "[1]" {
  name = "[2]"
  path = "[3]"
  tags = {
    Environment = "Dev"
  }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Adev_user

Bdeveloper

C/developers/

D/dev/

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Confusing resource name with IAM user name.

Using paths without slashes or invalid characters.

The resource name is 'dev_user', the IAM user name is 'developer', and the path is '/dev/' which organizes users under the dev folder.
