Multiple providers can be declared within a single Terraform configuration file.

Correct Answer:A
You can optionally define multiple configurations for the same provider, and select which one to use on a per-resource or per-module basis. The primary reason for this is to support multiple regions for a cloud platform; other examples include targeting multiple Docker hosts, multiple Consul hosts, etc.
To include multiple configurations for a given provider, include multiple provider blocks with the same provider name, but set the alias meta-argument to an alias name to use for each additional configuration.
For Example
# The default provider configuration provider "aws" {
region = "us-east-1"
}
# Additional provider configuration for west coast region provider "aws" {
alias = "west" region = "us-west-2"
}
The provider block without alias set is known as the default provider configuration. When alias is set, it creates an additional provider configuration. For providers that have no required configuration arguments, the implied empty configuration is considered to be the default provider configuration.

A colleague has informed you that a new version of a Terraform module that your team hosts on an Amazon S3 bucket is broken. The Amazon S3 bucket has versioning enabled. Your colleague tells you to make sure you are not using the latest version in your configuration. You have the following configuration block in your code that refers to the module:
module "infranet" { source = "s3::https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/infrabucket/infra_module.zip"} What is the best way to ensure that you are not using the latest version of the module?

Correct Answer:C
Version constraints are supported only for modules installed from a module registry, such as the Terraform Registry or Terraform Cloud's private module registry. Other module sources can provide their own versioning mechanisms within the source string itself, or might not support versions at all. In particular, modules sourced from local file paths do not support version; since they're loaded from the same source repository.
Only Terraform Registries support module versioning by using the version key, one cannot configure a previous version of the module in the configuration. Deleting the latest version of the module in S3 is the only option of the available options that ensures you won't use the latest version. You could also modify the source URL to specify a versionId URL parameter for a previous version.
