CCIE Routing and Switching (legacy) — Question 25

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 indeed requires a master-agent architecture for its operations. Option D is also accurate as both Puppet and Chef are implemented in Ruby, not Python, but Python skills are not mandatory for their operation. The other options contain inaccuracies regarding the requirements and functionalities of the respective tools.
