💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect instance type strings like 't2.micro' misspelled.

Confusing AMI IDs with instance types.

The instance_type must be a valid AWS instance type string like t2.micro.

Complete the code to reference the resource's attribute.

Terraform

output "instance_ip" {
  value = aws_instance.example.[1]
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'id' which is the instance ID, not the IP address.

Using 'private_dns' which is not an IP address.

The public_ip attribute gives the public IP address of the instance.

Fix the error in the resource block by completing the missing argument.

Terraform

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "my_bucket" {
  bucket = [1]
  acl    = "private"
}

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

A"my_bucket!"

B"my-bucket-123"

C"my bucket"

D"123_my_bucket"

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using spaces or underscores in bucket names.

Starting bucket names with numbers or special characters.

The bucket name must be a valid DNS-compliant string without spaces or special characters.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a resource with tags.

Terraform

resource "aws_instance" "web" {
  ami           = "ami-abc123"
  instance_type = [1]
  tags = {
    Name = [2]
  }
}

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

A"t3.micro"

B"WebServer"

C"t2.micro"

D"MyInstance"

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Quoting instance types or not quoting tag values.

Using invalid instance types.

The instance type should be a valid AWS type like t2.micro, and tags require quoted strings.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to define a resource with lifecycle rules.

Terraform

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "archive" {
  bucket = [1]
  acl    = "private"
  lifecycle {
    prevent_destroy = [2]
    ignore_changes  = [[3]]
  }
}

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

A"archive-bucket-001"

Btrue

C"tags"

Dfalse

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Not quoting string values.

Using false instead of true for prevent_destroy when protection is needed.

The bucket name must be a valid string, prevent_destroy is a boolean, and ignore_changes expects a list of attribute names as strings.
