A team configured VCS integration with GitHub. After a recent GitHub outage, they noticed that HCP Terraform stopped receiving webhooks. They want to ensure that runs are triggered even if GitHub webhooks are delayed. What should they do?

Rely on HCP Terraform's built-in retry mechanism for webhooks.

Switch to a different VCS provider that has more reliable webhooks.

Manually trigger runs in HCP Terraform after the outage.

Configure a fallback polling mechanism using the HCP Terraform API to check for new commits and trigger runs.

What is a primary benefit of integrating HCP Terraform with external tools and workflows?

It automatically converts any infrastructure code into a proprietary format for external tools.

It eliminates the need for version control systems when managing Terraform configurations.

It enables infrastructure provisioning to be triggered and managed from within existing automation pipelines.

It requires all infrastructure changes to be manually approved in the external tool before execution.

A company uses a CI/CD pipeline to deploy infrastructure. They want to use HCP Terraform to run plans and applies, but they also want to send notifications to a monitoring system when a run fails. They have a webhook URL for the monitoring system. What is the best way to achieve this?

Configure a notification on the workspace to send a webhook to the monitoring system on run failures.

Have the CI/CD pipeline poll the run status and send a notification to the monitoring system on failure.

Use the HCP Terraform API to create a run and then use a webhook to notify the monitoring system.

Use a run trigger to start a separate workspace that sends the notification.

A DevOps team wants to trigger Terraform runs from a custom internal dashboard. They plan to use the HCP Terraform API to create runs. To ensure the runs use the latest configuration, what should they do before creating a run?

Upload a new configuration version for the workspace.

Lock the workspace to prevent concurrent runs.

Set the workspace's execution mode to 'remote'.

Create a new workspace for each run.

What is the purpose of a run trigger in HCP Terraform?

To manually start a run by clicking a button in the UI.

To automatically start a run in one workspace when a run completes in another workspace.

To prevent runs from starting until a human approves them.

To schedule runs at specific times of day.
