Drag and Drop Question Drag and drop the automation characteristics from the left onto the corresponding tools on the right. Answer:

The correct answer is Ansible: all functions are performed over SSH; Ansible: YAML configuration language; Ansible: based on Python; Chef: Ruby syntax in configuration files. Ansible uses SSH for agentless communication (no additional agents needed on managed nodes), writes playbooks in YAML for human-readable configuration, and is built on Python as its underlying language. Chef, by contrast, uses a Ruby-based DSL for its configuration files (cookboo

Correct arrangement

Ansible: all functions are performed over SSH
Ansible: YAML configuration language
Ansible: based on Python
Chef: Ruby syntax in configuration files

Explanation

Ansible uses SSH for agentless communication (no additional agents needed on managed nodes), writes playbooks in YAML for human-readable configuration, and is built on Python as its underlying language. Chef, by contrast, uses a Ruby-based DSL for its configuration files (cookbooks and recipes), which distinguishes it from Ansible's YAML approach.
