Implementing DevOps Solutions and Practices Using Cisco Platforms (DEVOPS) — Question 2

A DevOps engineer must validate the working state of the network before implementing a CI/CD pipeline model. Which configuration management tool is designed to accomplish this?

Answer options

• A. Jenkins
• B. Genie CLI
• C. Travis CI
• D. Python YAML data libraries

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Jenkins is a widely used automation server that integrates with various tools to validate and manage CI/CD processes, making it suitable for ensuring network readiness. The other options, such as Genie CLI and Travis CI, are focused on specific functionalities like network management or continuous integration, but do not serve the broader configuration management purpose that Jenkins does.
