CompTIA Linux+ XK0-006 (V8) Practice Question

A systems administrator is managing a large, autoscaling fleet of cloud-based virtual machines. The number of active servers fluctuates throughout the day based on demand. The administrator needs to use Ansible to consistently apply updates to all currently active servers. Which approach would be the most effective and maintainable solution for defining the target hosts?

  • Store the server hostnames in an Ansible Vault and reference the vault in the playbook.

  • Use a dynamic inventory script to query the cloud provider's API.

  • Embed a list of all possible server IP addresses in the hosts line of the playbook.

  • Maintain a static INI inventory file and manually update it before each playbook run.
