HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate — Question 169

When using multiple configurations of the same Terraform provider, what meta-argument must be included in any non-default provider configurations?

Answer options

• A. depends_on
• B. alias
• C. id
• D. name

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, 'alias', because when you have multiple configurations of the same provider in Terraform, each non-default configuration must be given a unique alias to differentiate it. The other options, such as 'depends_on', 'id', and 'name', do not serve this purpose and are not required for non-default provider configurations.
