You have recently started a new job at a retailer as an engineer. As part of this new role, you have been tasked with evaluating multiple outages that occurred during peak shopping time during the holiday season. Your investigation found that the team is manually deploying new compute instances and configuring each compute instance manually. This has led to inconsistent configuration between each compute instance.
How would you solve this using infrastructure as code?

  1. Implement a ticketing workflow that makes engineers submit a ticket before manually provisioning and configuring a resource
  2. Implement a checklist that engineers can follow when configuring compute instances
  3. Replace the compute instance type with a larger version to reduce the number of required deployments
  4. Implement a provisioning pipeline that deploys infrastructure configurations committed to your version control system following code reviews

question 14 - run terraform import: this is the recommended best practice for bringing manually created or destroyed resources under terraform management. you use terraform import to associate an existing resource with a terraform resource configuration. this ensures that terraform is aware of the resource, and you can subsequently manage it with terraform.
