Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 798

What do Chef and Ansible have in common?

Answer options

• A. They use YAML as their primary configuration syntax.
• B. They rely on a procedural approach.
• C. They rely on a declarative approach
• D. They are clientless architectures.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because both Chef and Ansible primarily operate on procedural principles, where tasks are executed in a specific order. The other options are incorrect as Chef uses Ruby for its configuration and Ansible employs YAML as a declarative language, thus making A and C wrong. Additionally, D is inaccurate since both tools can operate in a client-server model.
