QuestionQ450

Infrastructure and Automation

A team of engineers needs to manage and configure infrastructure programmatically. The team must be able to bootstrap and configure new servers and switches remotely, without using an agent. Which configuration-management tool fulfills these requirements?

  • A Chef
  • B Jenkins
  • C Puppet
  • D Terraform
Explanation

Terraform provides infrastructure-as-code and can connect to newly created remote resources to upload files or execute setup commands through its provisioners, without requiring a persistent agent on those resources. Chef and Puppet normally rely on node-side client or agent software, and Jenkins is primarily a CI/CD automation server.
