Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to add a lifecycle block that prevents resource destruction.

Terraform

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "example" {
  bucket = "my-example-bucket"

  lifecycle {
    [1] = true
  }
}

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using ignore_changes instead of prevent_destroy

Forgetting to set the value to true

Using create_before_destroy which controls replacement order

The prevent_destroy lifecycle rule stops Terraform from deleting the resource.

2fill in blank

Complete the lifecycle block to prevent destroying the resource.

Terraform

  [1] = true
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Confusing with ignore_changes which ignores attribute changes

Using create_before_destroy which affects replacement order

Setting prevent_destroy = true in the lifecycle block prevents resource deletion.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the lifecycle block to correctly prevent resource destruction.

Terraform

lifecycle {
  prevent_destroy = [1]
}

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

Ctrue

D"true"

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using quotes around true or false which makes it a string

Setting prevent_destroy to false which disables protection

The value must be the boolean true without quotes to enable prevent_destroy.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to add a lifecycle block that prevents destroying and ignores changes to tags.

Terraform

lifecycle {
  [1] = true
  [2] = ["tags"]
}

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

Aprevent_destroy

Bignore_changes

Ccreate_before_destroy

Dreplace_triggered_by

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up ignore_changes and create_before_destroy

Not using a list for ignore_changes value

prevent_destroy = true stops deletion, and ignore_changes = ["tags"] ignores tag updates.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to add a lifecycle block that prevents destroying, creates before destroy, and ignores changes to tags.

Terraform

lifecycle {
  [1] = true
  [2] = true
  [3] = ["tags"]
}

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

Aprevent_destroy

Bcreate_before_destroy

Cignore_changes

Dreplace_triggered_by

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Confusing create_before_destroy with prevent_destroy

Not using a list for ignore_changes

Setting boolean values as strings

This lifecycle block prevents resource destruction, ensures new resource creation before old one is destroyed, and ignores changes to tags.
