A team uses the aws_ami data source to find the latest Ubuntu AMI. They need to ensure the AMI is from Canonical and supports the x86_64 architecture. Which combination of arguments should they use?

owners = ["099720109477"] and filter { name = "architecture" values = ["x86_64"] }

owners = ["amazon"] and filter { name = "architecture" values = ["x86_64"] }

filter { name = "owner-id" values = ["099720109477"] } and filter { name = "architecture" values = ["x86_64"] }

owners = ["099720109477"] and most_recent = true

Which statement best describes the role of a data source in a Terraform configuration?

A configuration uses the aws_subnets data source to retrieve all subnets in a VPC. The team needs to create a security group rule for each subnet. Which approach should they use to iterate over the returned subnets?

Use a count argument on the security group rule resource with length(data.aws_subnets.example.ids)

Use a data source with a for_each argument to create multiple data sources.

Use a for_each argument on the security group rule resource with toset(data.aws_subnets.example.ids)

Use a dynamic block inside the security group rule to iterate over the subnet IDs.
