Question 1

Several masters share a single PuppetDB instance. A spike in fact storage causes massive load on the DB, slowing down all catalog compiles. Investigations show a node group producing exceptionally large fact sets. Which advanced approach curbs DB load without losing crucial data for the rest of the infrastructure?

A : Configure a fact blacklist or truncation for particularly large facts from those nodes, or use a specialized approach that reduces certain fact payload sizes before storing in PuppetDB

B : Merge environment data so fewer nodes produce facts daily

C : Lower concurrency globally to slow all agents so the DB can handle large facts

D : Convert all large facts to ephemeral environment merges ignoring the DB

Answer: A

Question 2

A specialized network firewall module appears on Forge with no mention of Windows compatibility, yet you want to manage firewall rules on Windows nodes. The code uses OS-specific providers. Which approach clarifies if Windows support could be added easily?

A : Rely on the module’s Forge tags alone: if it’s not labeled “windows,” it’s impossible to adapt

B : Deploy it on Windows and see if it errors, ignoring any disclaimers

C : Review the code’s logic for OS detection and see if the existing providers can be extended or replaced

D : Search for user reviews stating Windows usage, ignoring the code’s own disclaimers

Answer: C

Question 3

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

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 4

Which approach ensures you can use Hiera data in a class but still allow overrides when calling that class?

A : Disallow parameter overrides entirely to maintain data purity

B : Mark class parameters with default lookup calls (e.g., lookup('some_key', ...)) but allow external overrides

C : Hardcode all parameters in the class so it’s not parameterized

D : Merge all data into node definitions ignoring the class parameters

Answer: B

Question 5

How might you integrate a “hotfix” for production code that bypasses the usual dev -> test flow while retaining environment isolation?

A : Hardcode environment merges for that node ignoring standard flow

B : Freeze all code merges until the hotfix is undone

C : Create a dedicated hotfix branch mapped to a hotfix environment or directly patch production if tested quickly but keep the patch in version control for future merges

D : Merge it into dev first so the node sees immediate changes

Answer: C
