Actual exam question for HashiCorp's Terraform-Associate-003 exam
Question #: 2
Topic #: 6
[All Terraform-Associate-003 Questions]

Terraform can only manage resource dependencies if you set them explicitly with the depends_on argument.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Terraform can manage resource dependencies implicitly or explicitly. Implicit dependencies are created when a resource references another resource or data source in its arguments. Terraform can infer the dependency from the reference and create or destroy the resources in the correct order. Explicit dependencies are created when you use thedepends_onargument to specify that a resource depends on another resource or module. This is useful when Terraform cannot infer the dependency from the configuration or when you need to create a dependency for some reason outside of Terraform's scope.Reference= :Create resource dependencies:Terraform Resource Dependencies Explained

Haha, I bet the exam writers are trying to trip us up with this one. 'Depends_on' is definitely a key part of Terraform, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a catch here.

Well, I know Terraform is pretty powerful, but I guess it can't always infer dependencies automatically. The 'depends_on' argument seems like a useful tool to have in our toolbox.

Hmm, that's an interesting question. I wonder if it has to do with the way Terraform works under the hood. Maybe it needs that extra bit of information to ensure everything is provisioned in the right order.

I'm not so sure about that. I thought Terraform was smart enough to figure out dependencies on its own without us having to explicitly set them.
