Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 132

An architect needs vendor-agnostic technology to orchestrate and automate a customer network with scripts. The technology must support running ad-hoc scripts from the CLI and support a deployment of scripts based on a large, readily available set of support libraries. Which technology must the architect choose?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Puppet because it is a vendor-agnostic automation tool specifically designed for managing systems and deploying scripts, and it has a large repository of modules. Cisco PowerTool is specific to Cisco environments, Python is a general programming language but lacks built-in orchestration features, and Cisco Intersight is focused on Cisco hardware management rather than broad automation.
