Which characteristic distinguishes Ansible from Chef?

  • A. Ansible uses Ruby to manage configurations. Chef uses YAML to manage configurations.
  • B. The Ansible server can run on Linux, Unix or Windows. The Chef server must run on Linux or Unix.
  • C. Ansible pushes the configuration to the client. Chef client pulls the configuration from the server.
  • D. Ansible lacks redundancy support for the primary server. Chef runs two primary servers in active/active mode.

Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
Ansible works by connecting to your nodes and pushing out small programs, called ג€Ansible modulesג€ to them. These programs are written to be resource models of the desired state of the system. Ansible then executes these modules (over SSH by default), and removes them when finished.
Chef is a much older, mature solution to configure management. Unlike Ansible, it does require an installation of an agent on each server, named chef-client. Also, unlike Ansible, it has a Chef server that each client pulls configuration from.

I hate some of these questions. Answer C which is the only "correct" answer is a comparison and contrast of Ansible and Chef instead of describing a characteristic of Ansible.
