HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate — Question 142

You want to define a single input variable to capture configuration values for a server. The values must represent memory as a number, and the server name as a string.

Which variable type could you use for this input?

Answer options

• A. List
• B. Object
• C. Map
• D. Terraform does not support complex input variables of different types

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as an Object can hold different types of values, such as a number for memory and a string for the server name. Options A and C are incorrect because a List and a Map cannot represent mixed data types in the way required. Option D is also incorrect since Terraform does support complex input variables using objects.
