HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate — Question 149

Which of the following methods, used to provision resources into a public cloud, demonstrates the concept of infrastructure as code?

Answer options

• A. curl commands manually run from a terminal
• B. A sequence of REST requests you pass to a public cloud API endpoint
• C. A script that contains a series of public cloud CLI commands
• D. A series of commands you enter into a public cloud console

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a script containing CLI commands automates the provisioning process, aligning with the infrastructure as code philosophy. Options A and D involve manual processes, which do not embody the automation aspect, while option B, while automated, lacks the scripting component that defines infrastructure as code.
