Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 89

Which configuration management tool has an agentless capability?

Answer options

• A. Puppet
• B. CFEngine
• C. Ansible
• D. Chef

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Ansible is designed to work in an agentless manner, allowing it to manage systems over SSH without requiring any additional software to be installed on the target machines. In contrast, Puppet, CFEngine, and Chef typically require agents to be installed and running on the managed nodes to facilitate configuration management.
