Question

A cloud engineer authors an infrastructure-as-code template that provisions a virtual network, subnets, a managed database, and application servers in a single deployment. On the first run, the deployment fails because the application servers attempt to launch before the subnet they reference exists. Which action should the engineer take to ensure the resources are created in the correct order?

Accepted Answer

Define explicit dependencies (or reference resource outputs) so the orchestration engine builds the subnet before the application servers

Answer

Manually create the subnet in the console first, then run the template for the remaining resources

Answer

Split the template into four separate files and run them alphabetically

Answer

Increase the deployment timeout value so the servers wait longer for the subnet to appear
