350-601 Question #447: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A customer asks an engineer to develop an orchestration solution to automate repetitive tasks. The customer operations team must integrate the tool with its existing automation framework. The customer asks for the tool to support these requirements: - The customer's security requirements mandate the use of SSH transport. - No extra software must be installed on the managed systems. - The support staff has limited knowledge of scripting languages, so the solution must be easy to read and use declarative language. Which solution meets these requirements?

Options

• APowerShell
• BAnsible
• CChef
• DPuppet

Explanation

Ansible is the orchestration solution that meets the requirements for SSH transport, agentless operation on managed systems, and a declarative, easy-to-read language suitable for staff with limited scripting knowledge.

Common mistakes.

• A. PowerShell is a scripting language and command-line shell primarily for Windows systems and does not inherently meet the "no extra software on managed systems" (for non-Windows devices) or the declarative language requirement across diverse systems.
• C. Chef is a configuration management tool that typically requires an agent (Chef client) to be installed on managed systems, which violates the "no extra software" requirement.
• D. Puppet is a configuration management tool that also typically requires an agent to be installed on managed systems, violating the "no extra software" requirement.

Concept tested. Automation and orchestration tool characteristics (agentless, SSH, declarative).
