CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question
While investigating why several Linux application servers keep reverting to an unsupported PHP version, you discover that a nightly cron job runs the following command at 02:00:
ansible-playbook /srv/cm/site.yml --inventory /srv/cm/prod.ini --check
The playbook completes without errors, yet configuration drift continues on multiple hosts. Which modification to the cron job will BEST ensure the desired state is enforced during the nightly run?
Remove the
--check
flag so the playbook executes in normal mode and applies required changes.Add the
--start-at-task
option to begin execution at the first remediation task.Append the
--diff
option to the existing command so file changes are shown during execution.Replace
--check
with--syntax-check
to validate the playbook before it runs.
