Terraform Interview ( Mock Interview )

Hi Deekshit..very helpful video...
What is the best practice to authenticate in case aws cloud to terraform

Answer to 9th question is wrong To delete any specific resource
terraform destroy -target=aws_instance.my_instance
And terraform taint is used to recreate the resource in the next apply.

Nice video !! Only thing I would suggest to add for future videos is some demo alongwith discussion for better undestanding

1. Daily activities that you do in Terraform?
2. What are services that you have worked with and wrote terraform files?
3. Tell me a scenario where you come across provisioners?
4. What are plugins and providers in terraform?
5. How do you deploy the terraform code manually or with some automation? Have configured locks on the backend statefile?
6. When you want to deploy the same terraform code on different env then what is the best strategy?
7. How do you standardize terraform code so that can be shared across multiple teams in an organization?
8. How do you call output of one module in another module?
9. Lets say you have created lot of resources using terraform out of is there way to delete one the resource through Terraform?
10.Can we merge 2 different state files?
11. Few challenges that you came across while working with Terraform?
12. Best way to authenticate cloud providers through Terraform?
13. Lets assume 2 resources you are creating using terraform, but we need make sure once 1st resource created successfully then only need to start creating 2nd resource. Is this possible?
14. What is null resource in terraform?
15. What happens if statefile is missed or delete?
16. Can terraform used for automating on-prem infra?
17. What if we encounter a serious error and want to rollback?
18. How to call existing resources from AWS or Azure to terraform without hardcoding the values or terraform import?
19. If we give count zero in resources level what will happen?
20. What is Dynamic Block in terraform?
21. Best Practices in Terraform?

This is really Awesome, You are doing great Job Deekshith !!!

For the 6th question we can utilize workspace concept as well..using terraform workspace commands ..it will create an env folder with multiple terraform state files.

Terraform taint will destroy and recreate resources. To remove specific resource you can use terraform destroy —target resource_name

Answer for 6th question will be "workspace" right?

We want more videos like this

He Brother..
One query !!
If i have state file in lock state(state locking) and once i done with creating my Infra(terraform apply)
So after that How can i Unlock 🔓 State locking state ?
Is it automatically unlock
Or need to execute any unlock command ?

You have a Terraform configuration file with no resources. What happens when you run the terraform apply command?

The interview is good but the way the person is answering is actually complex to understand. A simple one/two line answer is being twisted and overexplained which makes viewers annoyed and impatient. The person who is asking questions is actually simplifying the answer, which is a good thing. The questions are helpful however, the answers could have been better.

Thanks

One of the best Terraform interview video

❤️❤️❤️

can anyone please help me to understand ( assume terraform code is ready for one region)
1> Can we use different name (e.g. envjenkinfile ) ?
2> what is the best way to deploy multi region infrastructure with jenkins ( create separate jenkinfile or same ? create separate jobs or same job ? )
3> create separate git branch or just create separate tvars folder ?

hi deekshith are you giving any training for terraform ?if yes please let me know

Thank you deekshith... You cleared all my dauts may God bless you abundantly.... If you go coaching also they won't tell in that deep but you are providing the real scenario's where how the actual works goes on.. Thank you for letting know us ❤ .. It will help us in future to clear our interviews... ☺

Really helpful, Thank you sir for making

Correction : If count is changed to zero, the resource is destroyed.

Hi Deekshith,
Can you please let me know when your new batch will start for devops

nice explnation , i really inspired your vedious

Really very helpful!!. Most of the doubt are cleared and looking more like this videos.

9th question's answer is wrong
if you mark a resource as taint it would get recreated during next apply
if we just need to delete a resource then we need to remove that resource block from code and do terraform apply.

Thank you :)

I have a doubt wich is related to 5th question i couldn't get your asnwer beacuse Terrfaorm is itslef an a automation tool....
