HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate — Question 199

How do you specify a module's version when publishing it to the public Terraform Module Registry?

Answer options

• A. Configure it in the module's Terraform code
• B. Mention it on the module s configuration page on the Terraform Module Registry
• C. The Terraform Module Registry does not support versioning modules
• D. Tag a release in the associated repo

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because tagging a release in the associated repository allows the Terraform Module Registry to recognize and use that specific version of the module. Option A is incorrect as versioning is not defined solely within the module’s code. Option B is also wrong because the version is not set on the configuration page, and Option C is false since the Registry does support module versioning.
