Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) — Question 316

What do Chef and Puppet have in common?

Answer options

• A. use Ruby
• B. require modules to be created from scratch
• C. use a master server
• D. manage agents referred to as minions

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because both Chef and Puppet utilize a master server model to manage configurations across multiple nodes. Option A is incorrect as Chef uses Ruby, but Puppet uses its own domain-specific language. Option B is not accurate because both tools have existing modules and do not require starting from scratch. Option D is wrong since Puppet uses the term 'agents' and not 'minions', which is associated with SaltStack.
