Question 1

When you see multiple versions of a module from different authors on Puppet Forge, what factor should primarily drive your choice?

Options :

A : The one recommended in random community forums with no official documentation

B : Which version aligns best with your Puppet version, dependencies, and environment needs

C : The highest version number, guaranteeing the newest features

D : The module with the smallest file size for faster downloads

Answer: B

Question 2

After puppetserver logs show a successful compilation, PuppetDB logs never record a new catalog for that node. The node’s agent run ends with “Catalog retrieved successfully.” Which next step helps reconcile why PuppetDB didn’t store that catalog?

Options :

A : Validate the puppetserver.conf for storeconfigs or store_report set to true

B : Regenerate all SSL certificates for both master and PuppetDB

C : Execute puppet parser validate on the node’s environment to confirm no environment mismatch

D : Remove the node from PuppetDB, then force a puppet run to re-add the data

Answer: A

Question 3

Which practice supports multi-environment data separation for node classification?

Options :

A : Disabling external classifiers in favor of a single site manifest

B : Using an environment that bypasses Hiera merges entirely

C : Maintaining environment-specific Hiera hierarchies that override defaults

D : Storing all environment data in a single top-level YAML file only

Answer: C

Question 4

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 5

Which Puppet Forge metadata element can reveal external modules or libraries you must install for the main module to function?

Options :

A : The requirements or dependencies list in the metadata file

B : The user reviews rating field

C : The module’s tags section providing descriptive keywords

D : The script logs recorded in the module’s readme

Answer: A
