AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 124

True or false: In a CloudFormation template, you can reuse the same logical ID several times to reference the resources in other parts of the template.

Answer options

• A. True, a logical ID can be used several times to reference the resources in other parts of the template.
• B. False, a logical ID must be unique within the template.
• C. False, you can mention a resource only once and you cannot reference it in other parts of a template.
• D. False, you cannot reference other parts of the template.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because in a CloudFormation template, a logical ID is intended to be unique for each resource. This means options B, C, and D are incorrect as they misstate the rules about referencing resources and the uniqueness requirement of logical IDs.
