Automation and Orchestration

Which statement is true about Terraform?

  • A It utilizes Playbooks written in JSON
  • B It uses ACL Hiyashi scripting system
  • C It utilizes Playbooks written in YAML
  • D It was created by Red Hat
Explanation

Terraform configuration files are natively written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL), but Terraform also officially supports an equivalent JSON syntax for every configuration file, allowing infrastructure-as-code definitions to be authored and parsed as JSON documents. Terraform was created and is maintained by HashiCorp, not Red Hat, and it does not use YAML-based 'Playbooks' (a concept associated with Ansible) or any 'ACL Hiyashi' scripting system, leaving the JSON-syntax support as the accurate statement about Terraform among the given options.
