A team wants to adopt Terraform but does not want to manage the backend for state storage. They also want to enforce policy as code. What should they use?

A custom backend using an S3 bucket and DynamoDB.

HCP Terraform, which provides managed state and policy enforcement.

Terraform Enterprise, which is a self-hosted distribution.

Terraform Cloud, which is the same as HCP Terraform but with limited features.

A company has a workspace for 'database' and another for 'application'. They want the application workspace to run only after the database workspace has successfully applied. What is the correct configuration?

Manually run the application workspace after the database apply.

Set the application workspace to wait for the database workspace's apply via a webhook.

Use a shared state file between the two workspaces.

Add a run trigger in the application workspace that watches the database workspace.

A team has a workspace that uses a variable for the AWS region. They want to change the region for a specific run without affecting the workspace's default. What is the best approach?

Use the run's variable override feature to set the region for that run.

Edit the variable in the workspace and then revert it after the run.

Create a new workspace with the different region.

Use a different branch in the VCS repository.

In HCP Terraform, which workspace is considered the 'source' in a run trigger configuration?

The workspace that contains the VCS repository

The workspace that triggers a run in another workspace

The workspace that stores the shared state

The workspace that receives the trigger and runs

A team has a workspace that uses variables for different environments. They want to override a variable value for a specific run without changing the workspace's default. What should they do?

Create a new workspace for each run.

Use a different branch in the VCS repository.

Edit the variable in the workspace and then revert it after the run.
