Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

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

Terraform

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'local' instead of 's3' for remote state backend.

Confusing backend names with provider names.

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

2fill in blank

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.[1]["vpc_id"]
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'resources' or 'variables' instead of 'outputs'.

Trying to access outputs directly without the 'outputs' attribute.

The remote state outputs are accessed via the outputs attribute.

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/terraform.tfstate"
    region = "us-west-2"
  }
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'local' backend when remote state is stored in S3.

Using 'gcs' or 'azurerm' for AWS S3 buckets.

The backend must match the storage service used. For AWS S3, use s3.

hard

Fill both blanks to correctly define a remote state data source for Azure Blob Storage.

Terraform

data "terraform_remote_state" "storage" {
  backend = "[1]"
  config = {
    container_name = "tfstate"
    key            = "storage.tfstate"
    [2]      = "my-storage-account"
  }
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'bucket' instead of 'storage_account_name' for Azure backend.

Using 'region' which is not required for Azure backend config.

For Azure Blob Storage, the backend is azurerm and the storage account is specified with storage_account_name.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to correctly access a remote state output named 'subnet_ids' and assign it to a local variable.

Terraform

locals {
  subnet_ids = data.terraform_remote_state.network.[1][[2]]
  count      = length(local.subnet_ids) [3] 0
}

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using variables or resources instead of outputs.

Not quoting the output key string.

Using '<' instead of '>' for comparison.

Access outputs with outputs, use the output key as a string, and compare count with 0 using '>'.
