In Terraform HCL, an object type defined as object({ name = string, age = number }) would match which value?

• A. { name = 123, age = 30 }
• B. { name = "Alex", age = 30 }
• C. { name = "Alex" }
• D. { name = "Alex", age = "thirty" }

Answer: (B)

In Terraform, an object type defined as object({ name = string, age = number }) requires an object with two attributes: name must be a string and age must be a number, and both attributes must be present. The value with name = "Alex" and age = 30 satisfies these type constraints exactly: the name is a string and the age is a number. The other options fail because one uses a non-string for name, omits the age attribute, or uses a string where a number is required. Therefore, that value is the one that matches the defined object type.
