Exam 200-301 topic 1 question 1003 discussion

I think the answer is B. The client pulls the configuration from the server. Check the Cheft section here: https://study-ccna.com/configuration-management-tools-ansible-chef-puppet/

B. The installed agent on the device connects to the Chef Infra Server and pulls its required configuration from the cookbook. In Chef configuration management, the Chef Client (an agent installed on the target device) pulls the required configurations from the Chef Infra Server, which stores the necessary configurations in cookbooks. The client runs periodically, compares the current state of the device with the desired state described in the cookbooks, and makes adjustments if necessary.

it´s B

The most accurate answer is B. Although D is also partially correct but the "word" push isn't generally a feature of Chef, instead Chef client, installed on a node, queries to the infra server for any configuration updates and if there's any update available, the client pulls it from the server. So option B is more appropriate here.

Answer is B,

Chef uses pull method to update configurations .That means the nodes will be pulling the config from the server (Chef has the capability to Push but it requires an external agent ) I wondered for few seconds but since there is no mention of an external agent due to this I will conclude the default behaviour of the Chef config tool so the answer is B .

chef is a pull

the answer is b because it is agentful and its a pull not a push

Chef configuration management enforces a required device configuration by using an installed agent on the device that connects to the Chef Infra Server and pulls the required configuration from the cookbook. In Chef, a cookbook is a collection of recipes, attributes, templates, and other configuration files that define a desired configuration for a specific device or group of devices. The Chef Infra Server stores the cookbook, and the installed agent on each device periodically checks in with the server to see if there are any updates to the cookbook. If an update is available, the agent pulls the updated cookbook from the server and applies the new configuration to the device. This process is known as "pull-based" configuration management, where the devices actively request updates from the server. Therefore, option B, "The installed agent on the device connects to the Chef Infra Server and pulls its required configuration from the cookbook", is the correct answer.

know which one is correct, please?

Sorry, the correct answer is B. The device pulls the configuration from the cookbook.

Answer is A: In Chef, Nodes are dynamically updated with the configurations in the Server. This is called Pull Configuration which means that we don’t need to execute even a single command on the Chef server to push the configuration on the nodes, nodes will automatically update themselves with the configurations present in the Server.
