💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a remote path as source instead of a local path.

Confusing source and destination paths.

The source attribute in the file provisioner specifies the local file path to upload. It must be a local path, like "./localfile.txt".

medium

Complete the code to specify the destination path for the file provisioner.

Terraform

provisioner "file" {
  source      = "./config.json"
  destination = [1]
}

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

A"./config.json"

B"config.json"

C"/etc/config.json"

D"/tmp/config.json"

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a local path as destination.

Omitting the leading slash for absolute path.

The destination attribute specifies the path on the remote machine where the file will be copied. It should be an absolute path like "/tmp/config.json".

Fix the error in the file provisioner block by completing the missing attribute.

Terraform

provisioner "file" {
  source = "./app.conf"
  [1] = "/etc/app.conf"
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect attribute names like 'path' or 'target'.

Misspelling 'destination'.

The correct attribute to specify the remote file path is destination. Other names like path or target are invalid.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to complete the file provisioner block that uploads a script and sets its permissions.

Terraform

provisioner "file" {
  source      = [1]
  destination = [2]
}

provisioner "remote-exec" {
  inline = ["chmod +x [2]"]
}

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

A"./deploy.sh"

B"/tmp/deploy.sh"

C"/usr/local/bin/deploy.sh"

D"./script.sh"

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up source and destination paths.

Using relative paths for destination.

The source is the local script file "./deploy.sh". The destination is the remote path "/tmp/deploy.sh". The remote-exec provisioner runs chmod +x on the remote file to make it executable.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a file provisioner that uploads a config file, sets permissions, and runs a command remotely.

Terraform

provisioner "file" {
  source      = [1]
  destination = [2]
}

provisioner "remote-exec" {
  inline = ["chmod [3] [2]", "systemctl restart myservice"]
}

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

A"./config.yaml"

B"/etc/myapp/config.yaml"

C"+x"

D"-R"

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect chmod flags.

Confusing source and destination paths.

The source is the local config file "./config.yaml". The destination is the remote path "/etc/myapp/config.yaml". The chmod command uses +x to add execute permissions to the file.
