CCIE Routing and Switching (legacy) — Question 19

Which two statements about the various types of DevOps tools are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Ansible does not require agent node installation and uses SSH for performing all tasks.
• B. Puppet requires the installation of a master (server) and agents (clients) architecture for configuring systems.
• C. Chef and Puppet are much more attuned to the needs of system administrators.
• D. Puppet and Chef are written in Python. Python skills are a must to operate these two.
• E. Salt cannot communicate with clients through general SSH; it uses minions client agents only.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because Puppet does indeed require a master-agent architecture for configuration management. Option D is incorrect as Puppet is written in Ruby, not Python, and while Chef is also written in Ruby, having Python skills is not a prerequisite for using either tool.
