Question 46

A systems administrator is tasked with creating a cloud-based server with a public IP address.

The code is as follows:

Which of the following technologies did the systems administrator use to complete this task?

    Correct Answer: C

    The code snippet provided is written in YAML and leverages a module named 'community.abc.ec2_instance'. This module structure is characteristic of Ansible, which uses YAML for its playbooks to define and manage configurations. The syntax and structure match those typically found in Ansible playbooks, where tasks are defined to automate processes such as creating instances with specified parameters in a cloud environment. Puppet and Git do not use this structure, and Terraform uses HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) instead of YAML. Therefore, the systems administrator used Ansible to complete this task.

Discussion
linux_adminOption: C

The technology used by the systems administrator in this task is Ansible. The code is written in YAML and is using an Ansible module, specifically the "community.abc.ec2_instance" module, to create a cloud-based server with a public IP address. The "community.abc.ec2_instance" module is part of the Ansible community collection and provides the ability to manage Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances. The code sets various parameters, such as the instance name, the SSH key, the subnet ID, the instance type, the security group, and the image ID. The "assign_public_ip" option is set to "true", which specifies that the created instance should have a public IP address. So, in this scenario, the systems administrator used Ansible to automate the creation of a cloud-based server with a public IP address.

TheRealManishOption: C

This looks more like ansible than terraform? I was googling ansible and the syntax looks like an ansible playbook and not a terraform config file.

Aj26aOption: C

The code snippet provided is written in YAML and is used to define the creation of a cloud-based server instance. The syntax and structure are indicative of a playbook used by a configuration management and automation tool. The correct technology that the systems administrator used to complete this task is: C. Ansible This can be determined by the format of the playbook and the use of modules such as community.aws.ec2_instance which are commonly used in Ansible for managing AWS resources. So, the correct answer is C. Ansible.

AlizadehOption: C

The correct answer is C. Ansible

MrGykzOption: C

as i use ansible , it looks like an ansible playbook

bjornborgOption: C

Terraform works with JSON, not YAML ... Ansible is YAML. JSON uses { } .... YAML uses - and :

While Ansible uses YAML, Terraform uses HCL (Hashicorp Configuration Language), not JSON.

NvoidOption: C

why can't the files just start with #!/dev/ansible ?!?!

Nvoid

or "#!/bin/ansible" ??
