 79.  A.  The Manifest component of Puppet contains the configuration for the managed hosts. 

The Agent component of Puppet is used to apply the configuration from the master server. 

The Class component is used to organize the configuration inside of the Manifest. The 

Module component is similar to a Class with the exception that it is used to organize and 

create tasks for the Manifest component.

 80.  C.  The Recipe component of Chef contains the set of instructions that are carried out 

to configure a server. The Recipes are collected into the Cookbook component so that 

the task can be organized and applied to hosts. The Crock Pot component does not exist 

inside of Chef; therefore, it is an invalid answer. The Chef Node component is a host that 

is managed by a Chef Server component.

 81.  C.  The Ohai component is the second of two parts installed on the Chef Node; the 

first part is the Chef-Client component. Ohai is responsible for monitoring system state 

information and reporting back to the Chef Server component. If Ohai detects that an 

attribute of the system state is out of compliance, the system state for that component will 

be reapplied. The Chef Workstation command-line interface (CLI) component is called 

the Knife and interacts with the Chef Server to configure tasks when you are creating a 

Cookbook.

 82.  B.  The variable 

ANSIBLE_CONFIG is used to determine the location of the Ansible setting 

file named 

ansible.cfg. The variable ANSIBLE_SETTINGS is not used with Ansible and 

therefore option A is an invalid answer. The 

ansible_connection variable is used inside 

of the Inventory file to explain to Ansible how to connect to a remote system. The file  

/etc/ansible/hosts is not a variable; it specifies the various target nodes, also called the 

Inventory.

 83.  D.  The command 

ansible-doc will give you detailed information on Ansible modules. 

The command is followed by the module name to give specific information on a particular 

module. For example, 

ansible-doc ios_vlan will display all of the configuration for 

VLANs on Cisco IOS. The 

man command will give Linux/Unix manual information of 

the command of 

ansible-doc, but not the individual modules. The cat command is short 

for concatenate; it allows you to display or create the contents of a file. Ad-hoc is not a 

command; it is a configuration mode in which you can test commands before they are run 

network wide.

 84.  C.  The Ad-hoc interface allows you to try commands against a host without making 

a Playbook. The Knife interface is a command-line interface (CLI) for the Chef 

configuration management utility. The 

ansible_playbook command is used to execute an 

Ansible playbook. Ansible Tower is a paid version of Ansible supported by Red Hat that 

adds central management.

 85.  D.  In the Puppet configuration management utility, the term Facts describes global 

variables that contain information that is specific to Puppet. One example of a global 

variable is the IP address of the Puppet system. A Resource declares a task to be executed 

and how the task should be executed. The Class component is used to organize the 

configuration inside of the Manifest. The Module component is similar to a Class with the 

exception that it is used to organize and create tasks for the Manifest component.
