HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate — Question 109

You have a list of numbers that represents the number of free CPU cores on each virtual cluster:

numcpus = [ 18, 3, 7, 11, 2 ]

What Terraform function could you use to select the largest number from the list?

Answer options

• A. max(numcpus)
• B. ceil(numcpus)
• C. top(numcpus)
• D. high[numcpus]

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, max(numcpus), because this function is specifically designed to return the highest value from a list of numbers. The other options, such as ceil and top, do not serve this purpose, and high is not a valid function in Terraform.
