HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate — Question 286

If a DevOps team adopts AWS CloudFormation as their standardized method for provisioning public cloud resources, which of the following scenarios poses a challenge for this team?

Answer options

• A. The team is asked to build a reusable code base that can deploy resources into any AWS region
• B. The team is asked to manage a new application stack built on AWS-native services
• C. The organization decides to expand into Azure and wishes to deploy new infrastructure using their existing codebase
• D. The DevOps team is tasked with automating a manual provisioning process

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because AWS CloudFormation is specifically designed for managing resources within AWS, and transitioning to Azure would require a different approach or tool. Options A, B, and D are challenges that AWS CloudFormation is well-equipped to handle, as it can deploy resources in multiple regions, manage application stacks on AWS, and automate provisioning processes.
