* Explain the difference between a singleton and non-singleton type:
A single type can only be used once per host.
(I don't see yet why this is important.)
** Reference
If a type is flagged as a singleton, it may be used only once per host. This is useful for types which can be used only once on a system. Singleton types do not take an object name as argument.
(https://www.cdi.st/manual/latest/cdist-type.html?highlight=singleton)
* Explain the difference between the different verbosity levels
Verbosity levels are used to change the amount of information that is output on stdout about the configuration run.
I can be used for debugging, monitoring and scripting.
** Reference
# verbosity
# Set verbosity level. Valid values are:
# ERROR, WARNING, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, TRACE and OFF.
