Question 1

Which practice supports multi-environment data separation for node classification?

Options :

A : Disabling external classifiers in favor of a single site manifest

B : Using an environment that bypasses Hiera merges entirely

C : Maintaining environment-specific Hiera hierarchies that override defaults

D : Storing all environment data in a single top-level YAML file only

Answer: C

Question 2

When troubleshooting an undefined variable in a Puppet manifest, which step should be taken first?

Options :

A : Overwrite the variable in the Puppet master’s config file

B : Check that the variable is declared or passed correctly before use

C : Disable all conditional logic to ensure the variable is always set

D : Remove parameter references from the class definition entirely

Answer: B

Question 3

You want each node to reference only one role, which then includes multiple profiles. How does this approach simplify node classification?

Options :

A : It requires each node to define multiple profiles explicitly, leading to greater node-level detail

B : It allows each node to bypass Hiera lookups for class parameters

C : It merges all environment data into the role class, preventing any layering from Hiera

D : It centralizes node-specific logic in a single role, reducing confusion and classification sprawl

Answer: D

Question 4

When you see multiple versions of a module from different authors on Puppet Forge, what factor should primarily drive your choice?

Options :

A : The one recommended in random community forums with no official documentation

B : Which version aligns best with your Puppet version, dependencies, and environment needs

C : The highest version number, guaranteeing the newest features

D : The module with the smallest file size for faster downloads

Answer: B

Question 5

A resource uses notify => Service['app'] and the service uses subscribe => File['/etc/app.conf']. How does Puppet interpret these cross-references?

Options :

A : The service resource has a circular dependency with the file resource, causing an error.

B : The service never receives a refresh event because subscribe overrides notify.

C : Both relationships attempt to refresh the service if the file changes, but only one is needed.

D : The file triggers two refresh attempts on the same service, which merges internally to a single event.
