Question 1

A developer wrote a Bolt plan that runs a script installing packages on Debian nodes, then calls an agent-based run. RHEL nodes fail with “package resource undefined” in the plan. They want one plan for both distros. Which technique harmonizes agent-based steps with script-based steps for cross-platform usage?

Options :

A : Merge environment data in puppet.conf so the plan is identical across distros without conditions

B : Create conditional steps in the Bolt plan to run the Debian script only if $facts['os']['name'] is Debian, while RHEL uses an agent-based package resource in that same plan

C : Provide a single universal script for both distros, ignoring the agent run approach

D : Perform all installation using the agent-based run, skipping scripts on both distros

Answer: B

Question 2

You use puppet apply --noop to preview changes, but it fails with an undefined variable error for a parameter that you know is set in production. Which factor might explain why the variable is missing in a no-op test environment?

Options :

A : The production environment data from Hiera or node classification may not be loaded in a local apply

B : puppet parser validate must be used to load environment variables automatically

C : The variable references a built-in function that’s disabled in no-op mode

D : Variables are only valid if you run in a fully enforced mode

Answer: A

Question 3

Which approach ensures you can use Hiera data in a class but still allow overrides when calling that class?

Options :

A : Disallow parameter overrides entirely to maintain data purity

B : Mark class parameters with default lookup calls (e.g., lookup('some_key', ...)) but allow external overrides

C : Hardcode all parameters in the class so it’s not parameterized

D : Merge all data into node definitions ignoring the class parameters

Answer: B

Question 4

What does it mean if the agent logs say “File[‘/etc/ntp.conf’] is in sync” on multiple consecutive runs?

Options :

A : The file path is invalid, so Puppet skipped it

B : The file resource is not being checked for changes anymore

C : The file was never created by Puppet, so it remains synced with the environment

D : The resource is already in the desired state, so no changes are needed

Answer: D

Question 5

Which statement describes a recommended approach to verifying the maintainability of a Puppet Forge module?

Options :

A : Check if the module’s license mentions unlimited usage rights

B : Review the module’s Git repository for recent commits, code quality, and community interaction

C : Focus only on the readme file’s length and the popularity statistics

D : Use the module in a mission-critical system to test response times
