Question 4

Why should you constrain the acceptable provider versions in Terraform configuration for production use?
​
Provide version constraints make sure only matching versions are cached under the plugin directory and remove other versions to optimized disk space usage.

Answer 4

Providers are plugins released on a separate rhythm from Terraform, so providers have their own version numbers, and version constraint ensures that new versions with breaking changes will not be automatically installed by terraform init in the future.

Question 5

Medium Corp is making use of an open-source version of Terraform. You have created a number of reusable modules for various components that you want to share with your team.

Terraform modules cannot be shared in the OSS version. Each developer needs to maintain its own modules and leverage them in the main tf file.
