Drag items

This type of technology provides automation across multiple technologies and domains.This type of technology enables consistent configuration of infrastructure resources.Puppet is used for this type of technology.Ansible is used for this type of technology.

Correct arrangement

  • This type of technology enables consistent configuration of infrastructure resources.
  • Ansible is used for this type of technology.
  • This type of technology provides automation across multiple technologies and domains.
  • Puppet is used for this type of technology.

Explanation

Configuration Management tools like Puppet and Ansible are designed to ensure consistent, repeatable configuration of infrastructure resources (servers, network devices, etc.), maintaining desired state across environments. Orchestration tools, by contrast, provide automation across multiple technologies and domains, coordinating workflows and sequences of tasks that span different systems and platforms. Ansible bridges both worlds but is primarily categorized as a configuration management tool, while Puppet is a dedicated configuration management tool focused on enforcing system state.
