You can develop a custom provider to manage its resources using Terraform, as Terraform is an extensible tool that allows you to write your own plugins in Go language. You can also publish your custom provider to the Terraform Registry or use it privately.

B (terraform init)-Must be run firstto initialize the Terraform working directory, download providers, and configure the backend.
A (terraform apply)- Requires initialization first, so itcannotbe run before terraform init.
C (terraform plan)- Also requires terraform init first to generate a plan.
D (terraform show)- Displays the state,not relevantfor first-time deployment.

* C (Internally hosted VCS platforms, e.g., GitLab, Bitbucket, GitHub Enterprise)#
* D (Private GitHub repositories)#
* A (Public GitHub repository)#-GitHubis supported, but apublic repo is not "private".
* B (Public Terraform Registry)#-The public registryis not a private source.

In Terraform, adatablock is used to fetch or compute information from external sources for use elsewhere in the Terraform configuration. Unlikeresourceblocks that manage infrastructure,datablocks gather information without directly managing any resources. This can include querying for data from cloud providers, external APIs, or other Terraform states.References= This definition and usage ofdatablocks are covered in Terraform's official documentation, highlighting their role in fetching external information to inform Terraform configurations.

In Terraform, the correct way to reference a resource attribute is:
pgsql
CopyEdit
resource_type.resource_name.attribute
For example, if the resource block is:
hcl
CopyEdit
resource "kubernetes_namespace" "example" {
metadata {
name = "my-namespace"
}
}
To reference the name attribute, use:
pgsql
CopyEdit
kubernetes_namespace.example.name
Explanation of incorrect answers:
* A (resource.kubernetes_namespace.example.name)- Incorrect. Terraform does not use the resource.
prefix when referencing resources.
* C (data.kubernetes.namespace.name)- Incorrect. This syntax is used fordata sources, not resources.
* D (kubernetes_namespace.test.name)- Incorrect. The resource name is "example", not "test".
