XK0-006 Automation, Orchestration, and Scripting Practice Question
In an Ansible playbook, which THREE of the following are valid modules for managing files and packages? (Select THREE).
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA Linux+ often tests the distinction between modules that manage state (copy, file, apt) versus modules that execute commands (command) or retrieve remote content (get_url), trapping candidates who think any module that touches a file is a 'file management' module.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
copy
(copy) is correct because the copy module is a dedicated Ansible module for copying files from the local control node to remote hosts, supporting attributes like owner, permissions, and content. It is the standard idempotent way to manage file distribution in playbooks.
