Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to define a remote state data source using Terraform.

Terraform

data "terraform_remote_state" "example" {
  backend = "[1]"
  config = {
    bucket = "my-terraform-state"
    key    = "state.tfstate"
    region = "us-west-2"
  }
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'local' instead of a remote backend.

Confusing backend names like 'gcs' for AWS S3.

The backend specifies where the remote state is stored. For AWS S3, use s3.

medium

Complete the code to access an output named 'vpc_id' from the remote state.

Terraform

output "vpc_id" {
  value = data.terraform_remote_state.example.outputs.[1]
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using camelCase or PascalCase instead of snake_case.

Misspelling the output name.

Terraform outputs are case-sensitive and usually use snake_case. The output name is 'vpc_id'.

hard

Fix the error in the remote state data source configuration by completing the missing backend name.

Terraform

data "terraform_remote_state" "network" {
  backend = "[1]"
  config = {
    bucket = "network-state"
    key    = "network.tfstate"
    region = "us-east-1"
  }
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'local' backend for remote state.

Using unsupported backend names.

The backend must be set to a valid remote backend. For AWS S3, use s3.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to correctly configure the remote state data source with S3 backend and specify the state file key.

Terraform

data "terraform_remote_state" "app" {
  backend = "[1]"
  config = {
    bucket = "app-state-bucket"
    key    = "[2]"
    region = "us-east-2"
  }
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'local' as backend for remote state.

Incorrect or generic state file names.

The backend is 's3' for AWS S3 storage. The key is the path to the state file, here 'app.tfstate'.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to define a remote state data source with S3 backend, specify the bucket, and access the 'subnet_ids' output.

Terraform

data "terraform_remote_state" "network" {
  backend = "[1]"
  config = {
    bucket = "[2]"
    key    = "network.tfstate"
    region = "us-west-1"
  }
}

output "subnet_ids" {
  value = data.terraform_remote_state.network.outputs.[3]
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong backend names.

Incorrect bucket names.

Accessing outputs with wrong names.

The backend is 's3' for AWS S3. The bucket is the S3 bucket name. The output accessed is 'subnet_ids'.
