A team is setting up a new Terraform project. They want to use a provider from a private registry. They have the following configuration in `main.tf`: ```hcl terraform { required_providers { myprovider = { source = "registry.example.com/acme/myprovider" version = "~> 1.0" } } } provider "myprovider" { endpoint = "https://api.example.com" } ``` When they run `terraform init`, it fails with an error. What is the most likely cause?

The `source` address is incorrect; it should be `acme/myprovider`.

The provider block uses `endpoint` which is not a valid argument for this provider.

The provider block is missing the `alias` argument.

The version constraint `~> 1.0` is invalid.

A company uses Terraform to manage resources in multiple AWS regions. They have a default provider for us-east-1 and an aliased provider for eu-west-1. They are now adding a new resource that must be created in ap-southeast-1. They want to avoid duplicating the provider configuration. What should they do?

Modify the default provider to use ap-southeast-1.

Add a new aliased provider block for ap-southeast-1 and reference it in the new resource.

Use the existing eu-west-1 aliased provider for the new resource.

Use the `provider` meta-argument with a region argument on the resource.

An organization has published a custom provider to a private registry at `registry.internal.example`. The provider is named `infra` and is in the namespace `platform`. They want to use it in their Terraform configuration. What is the correct `source` value in the `required_providers` block?

`registry.internal.example/platform/infra`

`registry.internal.example/infra`
