Question 1

A developer attempts to create a Bolt plan that applies certain puppet agent runs on Windows nodes, but relies on direct scripts for Linux nodes. This partial approach works except Windows nodes sometimes fail with “Unable to connect to master.” They suspect concurrency saturates the master. How might they gracefully handle partial concurrency for Windows agent runs while letting Linux scripts run in parallel?

Options :

A : Switch all nodes to direct script tasks, ignoring agent-based runs

B : Lock concurrency to 1 for all nodes so the puppet master never saturates

C : Merge environment concurrency data in puppet.conf to unify Windows and Linux concurrency automatically

D : Use concurrency or batch settings specifically for Windows nodes in the orchestrator plan, while continuing full parallel execution for Linux script tasks

Answer: D

Question 2

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 3

After enabling strict validation for agent run reports, some older modules produce invalid data structures in the final summary, crashing the puppetserver. The admin wants strict reporting for new modules but to exempt legacy modules temporarily. Which advanced approach balances new, strict enforcement with a phased legacy migration?

Options :

A : Switch to ephemeral environment merges ignoring old module data entirely

B : Force puppet-lint to fix all legacy modules instantly

C : Use environment-based or module-based configuration that flags certain legacy modules for relaxed validation, while new or updated modules must pass strict checks.

D : Merge environment logs so new modules unify with old code ignoring strict validation

Answer: C

Question 4

How can you confirm that a failing agent run is caused by environment mismatches rather than connection or certificate issues?

Options :

A : Attempt a run specifying puppet agent --environment production --test and see if it completes successfully

B : Disable agent SSL verification temporarily to isolate environment problems

C : Swap the module path on the master with the agent’s local path to see if they match

D : Delete the node from PuppetDB to force re-registration and environment detection

Answer: A

Question 5

The “prod” environment references an old major version of a core module. A dev environment references the latest major version. Some modules in dev depend on that new version, but production needs stability. The business needs a phased approach. Which advanced environment strategy satisfies both dev module dependencies and production stability?

Options :

A : Force an immediate upgrade in production ignoring stability concerns

B : Merge environment data from dev and prod to unify module versions on the fly

C : Lock all environments to the older major version to maintain uniformity

D : Maintain a separate environment (e.g., “pre-prod”) that includes the new module major version for deeper testing. Once validated, merge into production carefully
