What is the primary role of version control systems (VCS) in managing IaC scripts?

To track changes, enable collaboration, and provide a history of infrastructure code

To automatically deploy infrastructure changes to production

To validate the syntax of IaC scripts

To encrypt IaC scripts for security

A team uses Terraform to manage a production environment. They want to ensure that any changes to the infrastructure are reversible and that they can quickly roll back if a deployment fails. What is the best practice?

Use Terraform state versions and store them in a remote backend with versioning enabled

Keep a backup of the Terraform configuration files only

Use terraform destroy and recreate the environment from scratch

Take manual snapshots of the infrastructure before each apply

What is the purpose of running a 'plan' or 'dry run' in IaC tools like Terraform?

To delete all existing resources

To preview the changes that will be made before applying them

To deploy the infrastructure immediately

To test the performance of the infrastructure

A team is using Git for version control of their Terraform configurations. They want to automatically run a syntax check and a plan on every pull request before merging. What should they implement?

A pre-commit hook that runs terraform fmt

A manual checklist for reviewers to run terraform plan locally

A scheduled job that runs terraform apply on the main branch

A CI/CD pipeline that runs terraform validate and terraform plan on pull requests

Why is it important to keep IaC scripts idempotent?

To ensure that running the script multiple times produces the same result without errors

To allow scripts to run on multiple cloud providers

To reduce the number of lines of code

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) CV0-004 Practice Questions (Page 6)

Part of the Deployment domain, which accounts for 19% of the CV0-004 exam. CompTIA does not publish an official question count, but from its 90-minute exam (~35–60 total, ~7–11 in this domain), expect 2–3 from this objective — we provide 30 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
