A developer wants to automate the build, test, and deployment of an application every time a commit is pushed to the main branch. Which component of a CI/CD pipeline defines the sequence of stages (build, test, deploy) and the conditions under which each stage runs?

The pipeline configuration file

What is the standard directory structure for a Puppet module?

tasks/, handlers/, defaults/, meta/

modules/, classes/, resources/, types/

manifests/, files/, templates/, lib/

An Ansible playbook uses the `copy` module to deploy a configuration file. The playbook runs successfully, but the administrator notices that the file on the target server has different permissions than expected. The source file on the control node has mode `0644`. The playbook does not specify a `mode` attribute. What is the most likely reason for the permission difference?

The `copy` module requires the `mode` attribute to be set explicitly, otherwise it fails to copy the file.

The `copy` module always sets permissions to `0755` by default, overriding the source file's permissions.

The `copy` module sets permissions to `0644` by default, but the target server's `umask` is `0022`, which changes it to `0644`.

The `copy` module uses the permissions of the source file by default, but the target system's `umask` may alter them during the copy.
