Configuration Management - this type ... enables consistent configuration of infrastructure resources - ansible Orchestration - this type ... across multiple technologies and domains - puppet OCG Page 886. Puppet Bolt - Orchestrator-driven tasks

1. Configuration Management: - Puppet is used for this type of technology - This type of technology enables consistent configuration of infrastructure resources. 2. Orchestration: - This type of technology provides automation across multiple technologies and domains - Ansible is used for this type of technology

*Provided answer is wrong * Configuration Management -This type of technology enables consistent configuration of infrastructure resources. -Puppet is used for this type of technology. Orchestration -This type of technology provides automation across multiple technologies and domains. -Ansible is used for this type of technology.

Problem with this question is that both Puppet and Ansible can be used as config mgmnt tools guess any answer will do.

Given answers are incorrect Configuration Management: - This type of technology enables consistent configuration of infrastructure resources. - Puppet is used for this type of technology. Orchestration: - This type of technology provides automation across multiple technologies and domains. - Ansible is used for this type of technology. This question was in CCNA dump too, take a look https://www.examtopics.com/discussions/cisco/view/86199-exam-200-301-topic-1-question-773-discussion/ https://kodekloud.com/blog/configuration-vs-orchestration-management/#:~:text=Configuration%20management%20refers%20to%20the,application's%20deployment%20across%20multiple%20systems. ....................

How is Puppet Different from Ansible? Among other differences (see below), Puppet uses declarative automation – that means you tell Puppet your desired configurations and Puppet will figure out how to get there. Ansible uses imperative automation, which means you lay out the steps required to get to that desired state instead of the tool figuring it out. https://www.puppet.com/blog/ansible-vs-puppet#faq

Ansible (CLI tool) Desired State / Declarative Agent-less procedural - Hybrid met declarative push the configuration to the client. uses playbooks (cfg/yaml) primary/secondary architecture "automation" win-update demo bas: agentless Intent-based Puppet (CLI tool) Desired State / Declarative Agent-Based Active/passive - replicate data to other server Manifests Multimaster architecture Asses impact before applying

here two links with info, but not clear about puppet or ansible https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/understanding-terms-infrastructure-code-management-ansible-sangode https://kodekloud.com/blog/configuration-vs-orchestration-management/

Orchestration: Automate across multivendor physical and virtual network elements using sophisticated abstraction capabilities. Puppet: Define and enforce configurations across operating systems, middleware, and applications in a programmatic way Ansible is an open source, command-line IT automation software application written in Python. It can configure systems, deploy software, and orchestrate advanced workflows to support application deployment, system updates, and more. Ansible is designed to be very simple, reliable, and consistent for configuration management.

The given answer is not correct. Configuration Management = - Ansible - ...enables consistent configuration...

I would put "enables consistent configuration" under configuration management.

I this the provided answer confused Automation and Orchestration

"Puppet is more of a configuration management tool" https://www.devopsgroup.com/blog/puppet-vs-ansible/

From the link below, I understand that Ansible is more suitable in Orchestration category: https://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=3100057&seqNum=3 "[Ansible] Playbooks are files that are used to define the desired or final state and also used to orchestrate operation across multiple nodes."

the structure is correct: https://www.ansible.com/ Ansible Automation Platform has grown over the past years to provide powerful automation solutions that work for operators, administrators and IT decision makers across a variety of technology domains. It’s a leading enterprise automation solution from Red Hat®, a thriving open source community, and the de facto standard technology of IT automation.

Puppet Bolt is an open source tool that is based on the Ruby language and can be installed as a single package. "Orchestrator-driven tasks: Orchestrator-driven" tasks can leverage the Puppet architecture to use services to connect to devices. This design is meant for large-scale environments.

I would put "enables consistent configuration" under configuration management.
