CV0-004 Practice Question: Is adopting Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for…
An organization is adopting Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for their cloud deployments. They need to ensure that the configuration files are version-controlled and changes are audited. Which combination of tools should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between Infrastructure as Code tools (like Terraform) and configuration management tools (like Ansible, Puppet, Chef), and the trap here is that candidates confuse configuration management with version control, assuming tools like Ansible or Puppet provide audit trails when they do not.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Terraform and Git
Git provides version control and audit trails for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) configuration files, while Terraform is the IaC tool that manages cloud resources declaratively. Together, they satisfy the requirement for version-controlled, auditable configuration files, as Git tracks every change with commit history and Terraform's state files can be stored in Git for change tracking.
