Selected Answer: B
Ansible: Network: Strong support for network automation with various modules for managing network devices. Server: Equally strong support for server management, with modules for different operating systems and services. Flexibility: Ansible's agentless nature and easy-to-use playbooks make it versatile for different environments. Community and Ecosystem: Extensive community support and resources available for both network and server automation. Puppet: Network: While Puppet can manage network devices, it might require additional effort to set up compared to Ansible's network-specific modules. Server: Strong support for server management, with a mature ecosystem and extensive modules. Agent Overhead: Requires agents on target devices, adding complexity to deployment and management.

Terraform is the better choice here also because we are talking about an initial deployment

Terraform is an infrastructure-as-code tool that is excellent for provisioning and managing infrastructure across various cloud providers. It is not specifically designed for configuration management or enforcing desired state on network devices, making it less suitable for this particular use case.

It is D! Both Puppet and Terraform are tools that can manage infrastructure as code (IAC) within an organization. Terraform provisions and manages low-level components (such as servers, storage, and networking devices) and cloud native services, while Puppet manages operating systems and application-level configurations.

Selected Answer: C
Puppet components include a puppet agent that runs on the managed device (node) and a puppet master (server) that typically runs on a separate dedicated server and serves multiple devices. The operation of the puppet agent involves periodically connecting to the puppet master; which in turn compiles and sends a configuration manifest to the agent. The agent reconciles this manifest with the current state of the node and updates the state based on differences.
