Practice - 5 Tasks

easy

Complete the code to specify the AWS provider version constraint.

Terraform

terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = [1]
    }
  }
}

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

A"^5.0"

B"~> 4.0"

C"= 3.0"

D"< 2.0"

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using exact version '=' which is too restrictive.

Using '^' which is not supported in Terraform version constraints.

The version constraint "~> 4.0" means any version from 4.0 up to but not including 5.0, which is a common way to specify compatible provider versions.

medium

Complete the code to require provider version 3.5 or higher but less than 4.0.

Terraform

terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = [1]
    }
  }
}

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

A"= 3.5"

B"~> 3.5"

C">= 3.5, < 4.0"

D"< 3.5"

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '=' which fixes the version exactly.

Using '~> 3.5' instead of the range constraint.

The version constraint ">= 3.5, < 4.0" ensures the provider version is at least 3.5 but less than 4.0, allowing updates within the 3.x series.

hard

Fix the error in the provider version constraint to allow any 2.x version.

Terraform

terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = [1]
    }
  }
}

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

A"~> 2.0"

B"= 2"

C">= 2.0, < 3.0"

D"2.x"

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '=' with incomplete version number.

Using invalid version syntax like '2.x'.

The "~> 2.0" constraint allows any version starting from 2.0 up to but not including 3.0, which covers all 2.x versions.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to specify the provider source and version constraint for Azure provider version 3.0 or higher but less than 4.0.

Terraform

terraform {
  required_providers {
    azure = {
      source  = [1]
      version = [2]
    }
  }
}

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

A"hashicorp/azurerm"

B"~> 3.0"

C">= 3.0, < 4.0"

D"hashicorp/azure"

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect provider source name.

Using '~> 3.0' instead of the range constraint.

The source for the Azure provider is "hashicorp/azurerm". The version constraint ">= 3.0, < 4.0" allows any version from 3.0 up to but not including 4.0.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to specify the Google provider with source, version constraint for any 4.x version, and a required Terraform version of at least 1.2.0.

Terraform

terraform {
  required_version = [1]
  required_providers {
    google = {
      source  = [2]
      version = [3]
    }
  }
}

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

A">= 1.2.0"

B"hashicorp/google"

C"~> 4.0"

D"= 4.0"

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '=' for provider version which fixes it exactly.

Using incorrect provider source name.

Setting required_version too low or too high.

The required_version sets the minimum Terraform version to ">= 1.2.0". The Google provider source is "hashicorp/google". The version constraint "~> 4.0" allows any 4.x version.
