If a variable is accessed by top scope, which value will be displayed in the notify resource for webserver01.mylabserver.com?

In Puppet, the scope of a variable can determine which value is accessible and used in templates, manifests, or resources. When a variable is defined within a specific scope, Puppet has a hierarchy determining where it looks for the variable value when it is accessed.

In this case, if a variable is accessed in the top scope, and the answer is a value indicating "redhat" is displayed in the notify resource for the node webserver01.mylabserver.com, it implies that "redhat" was the last value assigned to familyvar in the context of the top scope or that it was assigned globally.

Generally, Puppet evaluates variable assignments in a specific order: local scope (such as within a class or defined type) takes precedence over global scope, but if all local assignments are absent or not applicable, Puppet will retrieve the next available assignment from the top scope.

If "redhat" is indeed the displayed value in this context, it signifies that either it was defined in the global scope and not overridden by any lower-scope assignments, or the other variable values exist, but "redhat" remains the last relevant assignment accessible in the top scope. This reflects Puppet's design of keeping track of variable assignments within its
