What is the primary purpose of using automation techniques in IaC deployments?

To eliminate the need for monitoring infrastructure

To provision and configure infrastructure consistently without manual intervention

To reduce the need for version control

To replace the need for cloud provider APIs

A company wants to reduce the time it takes to provision new environments from weeks to minutes. They also want to ensure that all environments are identical, eliminating configuration drift. Which approach should they adopt?

Create a detailed runbook and follow it manually

Implement Infrastructure as Code using declarative templates

Use a cloud provider's CLI to create resources interactively

Use a configuration management tool only for post-deployment configuration

An organization uses a Git repository to store its IaC scripts. They want to prevent secrets such as API keys and passwords from being committed to the repository. What should they implement?

Use environment variables in the CI/CD pipeline

Encrypt the repository with a password

Store secrets in a separate file in the same repository

Use a secrets management tool and reference secrets from IaC scripts

A company manages multiple AWS accounts and wants to use CloudFormation to deploy a standard set of resources. They need to enforce tagging standards and ensure that certain resource types are not created. They also want to reuse the same template across accounts without duplicating code. What should they do?

Use AWS Service Catalog to create a product and share it across accounts

Use CloudFormation StackSets with a single template and AWS Organizations to deploy across accounts

Create a separate CloudFormation template for each account

Use AWS Config rules to enforce tagging and resource restrictions after deployment
