Terraform Scenario and Coding Mix | Dataford Interview Questions

Tell me about a coding and Terraform scenario you faced where you had to solve a LeetCode-style problem and a Terraform task. For the coding portion, implement resource_apply_order(resources, dependencies) to return a deterministic order in which Terraform resources can be created, or [] if dependencies contain a cycle. resources is a list of unique names, and dependencies maps each resource to prerequisite resource names.

Constraints

1 <= len(resources) <= 1000
Resource names are unique strings
Every dependency name appears in resources
A resource does not depend on itself
Each prerequisite appears at most once for a given resource
Return [] when the dependency graph contains a cycle

Function Signature

def resource_apply_order(resources, dependencies):
