HashiCorp Exam TA-002-P Topic 7 Question 35 Discussion

Actual exam question for HashiCorp's TA-002-P exam

Question #: 35
Topic #: 7

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "example" { bucket = "my-test-s3-terraform-bucket" ...} resource "aws_iam_role" "test_role" { name = "test_role" ...}

Due to the way that the application code is written , the s3 bucket must be created before the test role is created , otherwise there will be a problem. How can you ensure that?

AThis will already be taken care of by terraform native implicit dependency. Nothing else needs to be done from your end.

BAdd explicit dependency using depends_on . This will ensure the correct order of resource creation.

CCreate 2 separate terraform config scripts , and run them one by one , 1 for s3 bucket , and another for IAM role , run the S3 bucket script first.

DThis is not possible to control in terraform . Terraform will take care of it in a native way , and create a dependency graph that is best suited for the parallel resource creation.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Use the depends_on meta-argument to handle hidden resource dependencies that Terraform can't automatically infer.

Explicitly specifying a dependency is only necessary when a resource relies on some other resource's behavior but doesn't access any of that resource's data in its arguments.
