Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 411

Ansible is being used in a network for configuration and management automation. Which of the following are true statements regarding Ansible? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Requires an agent on the end device.
• B. Utilizes the concept of playbooks to execute the configuration.
• C. Uses a pull model, where the end devices pull configuration files from the Ansible server.
• D. Utilizes SSH.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answers are B and D because Ansible indeed uses playbooks as a way to define configurations and it operates over SSH for secure communication. Options A and C are incorrect as Ansible does not require an agent to be installed on the managed nodes and it uses a push model instead of a pull model.
