Question

Group of answer choices

Ansible

Puppet

Cisco IOS

Chef

Answer 1

The configuration management solution that uses manifest files is Puppet.

Puppet uses manifests to define the desired system state and the configuration for the managed systems. In contrast:

• Ansible uses playbooks, which are written in YAML format.
• Chef uses cookbooks and recipes.
• Cisco IOS is an operating system for networking devices and does not specifically relate to configuration management solutions like the others listed.
