Correct arrangement

  • utilizes a push model
  • primary/secondary architecture
  • utilizes a pull model
  • multimaster architecture

Explanation

Ansible uses a push model where the control node actively pushes configurations out to managed nodes over SSH, and it uses a primary/secondary (master/agent) architecture where the control node directs managed hosts. Puppet, by contrast, uses a pull model where agents periodically check in with the Puppet master to pull their configurations, and it supports a multimaster architecture where multiple Puppet masters can serve agents for scalability and redundancy.
