Question 1

Which step helps confirm whether an undefined variable error is caused by Hiera’s data hierarchy?

Options :

A : Disable environment merges in Hiera so only the top-level data is used

B : Move the variable from Hiera into node classification statements

C : Manually override the variable in the class definition

D : Temporarily set a default value for the lookup() call and check logs

Answer: D

Question 2

You want each node to reference only one role, which then includes multiple profiles. How does this approach simplify node classification?

Options :

A : It requires each node to define multiple profiles explicitly, leading to greater node-level detail

B : It allows each node to bypass Hiera lookups for class parameters

C : It merges all environment data into the role class, preventing any layering from Hiera

D : It centralizes node-specific logic in a single role, reducing confusion and classification sprawl

Answer: D

Question 3

Why is using facts in conditional logic beneficial in Puppet manifests?

Options :

A : It merges all resource definitions into a single global site.pp

B : It bypasses the need to specify parameters in metadata.json

C : It tailors resource declarations to each node’s actual attributes, avoiding manual OS or hardware checks

D : It allows environment locking to a single OS version

Answer: C

Question 4

How might you securely tune Puppet’s configuration to handle multiple agent runs from an SSL standpoint?

Options :

A : Using certificate revocation lists, ensuring only valid agent certs are trusted

B : Disabling SSL entirely to simplify the handshake

C : Relying on environment merges that unify node keys

D : Storing agent keys in a public Git repository for easy distribution

Answer: A

Question 5

A lead engineer notices repeated changes in the integration logs related to file timestamps, not content changes. The module is otherwise correct. How can you ensure the test suite ignores these harmless diffs while preserving full idempotence checks?

Options :

A : Always delete the file before each run so Puppet must recreate it

B : Remove the file from your module to bypass the logs entirely

C : Turn off all idempotence checks so no change is ever logged

D : Implement a file resource parameter like replace => false or a carefully tuned parameter set so timestamps aren’t updated if content is unchanged
