A company operates a hybrid environment with both on-premises servers and cloud VMs. They need to automate the configuration of network settings across all servers, including those that are not yet provisioned. Which tool is best suited for this task?

Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates, using a template that includes on-premises resources.

Terraform, using a provider for each cloud and on-premises platform.

Ansible, using an inventory file that includes both on-premises and cloud hosts.

AWS CloudFormation, using a template that includes on-premises resources.

A company wants to adopt Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to manage their cloud network infrastructure. They currently use manual processes and want to improve consistency and reduce errors. Which benefit of IaC directly addresses this goal?

IaC allows for the use of a graphical user interface to manage resources.

IaC automatically resolves all network connectivity issues.

IaC provides a way to automate the provisioning and configuration of resources in a repeatable and consistent manner.

IaC eliminates the need for version control.

What is the main benefit of implementing a CI/CD pipeline for Infrastructure as Code?

It ensures infrastructure changes are deployed consistently and automatically after passing tests.

It eliminates the need for version control.

It allows infrastructure changes to be made directly in production without testing.

It guarantees that all deployments will be successful without any failures.

A team is developing a Terraform configuration for a new project. They want to ensure that the configuration is reviewed and tested before it is merged into the main branch. Which Git workflow should they use?

Use a single branch for all development and production changes.

Use a feature branch workflow where changes are made in a separate branch and merged via a pull request after review.

Use a fork and pull request workflow, but only for major changes.

Commit directly to the main branch and rely on post-commit reviews.
