If a valid playbook contains serial: 20 and the ansible-playbook command running that playbook is passed '-f 10' and targets an inventory of 15 servers, what is the maximum number of forks will exist at any one time during play execution?

  1. 20
  2. 15
  3. 5
  4. 10

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The -f 10 will allow no more that 10 forks to run at once even though serial is set to 20.



What values will serial accept? (Choose all that apply.)

  1. A mix of integer and appropriately specified percentage values
  2. Symbolic percentage values (as in 50%)
  3. Decimal percentage values (as in .50)
  4. Integer values

Answer(s): A,B,D

Explanation:

As long as the percentage values are in the correct format (symbolic), serial can handle mixing and matching the values. Serial will take integer values.



What attribute allows you to cause a play to stop based on a certain failure threshold?

  1. failure_threshold
  2. serial
  3. acceptable_failure_percentage
  4. max_fail_percentage

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The max_fail_percentage will only allow a certain percent of a batch to fail before marking the play failed.



If forks is set to 100 and Ansible is run against an inventory of 50 servers, how many forks will Ansible create?

  1. 63
  2. 5
  3. 50
  4. 100

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Ansible will only spin up the number of forks that is necessary as long as it is less than the maximum allowed. In this case, the max is 100 so Ansible will make 50 forks to match the number of hosts target.



What are the default number of forks in Ansible?
