In the context of multi-node orchestration with Puppet Bolt, what is the primary advantage of using a "plan" over a simple "command" for complex, multi-step operations?

Plans allow for conditional logic, iteration, and parameterization, enabling the automation of sophisticated workflows that are impossible with single commands.

Plans offer real-time feedback on individual node execution status, whereas commands execute and report completion only at the end.

D) Plans inherently provide rollback capabilities, ensuring that any failed step in a sequence can be automatically reverted on all affected nodes.

Plans automatically manage SSH key rotation and credential distribution across nodes, reducing manual configuration overhea

When defining a Puppet Bolt "inventory" file, what is the most robust method for managing sensitive credentials like SSH private keys or API tokens, ensuring they are not directly embedded in the inventory itself?

Storing credentials directly as plain text values within the inventory file for ease of access.

Embedding the sensitive data within the `data` section of the inventory file, relying on Bolt's built-in obfuscation.

Utilizing Bolt's `vars` block to define sensitive data, ensuring it's encrypted at rest by the Bolt configuration.

Referencing external, encrypted credential stores (e.g., Vault, AWS Secrets Manager) using Bolt's plugin system or environment variables.

Consider a scenario where you need to execute a series of commands on a group of nodes, but some commands might fail, and you want to ensure that subsequent commands only run on nodes where the preceding ones succeeded. How would you most effectively achieve this using Puppet Bolt?

Create a Puppet Bolt plan that uses a loop to iterate through the commands, and within the loop, check the exit code of each command. If a command fails, break the loop for that node's execution branch.

Execute each command individually using `bolt command run` and manually review the output before initiating the next command.

Write a single, complex shell script and execute it via `bolt command run` with the `--concurrency` flag set to `parallel`.

Utilize Bolt's `apply_facts` module to dynamically determine which nodes are healthy before proceeding with subsequent commands.
