Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 796

What is a common trait between Ansible and Chef?

Answer options

• A. Both rely on a declarative approach.
• B. Both are used for mutable infrastructure.
• C. Both require a client to be installed on hosts.
• D. Both rely on NETCONF.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because both Ansible and Chef are designed to manage mutable infrastructure, allowing for dynamic changes. Option A is incorrect as Ansible uses an imperative approach, while Chef is declarative. Option C is false because Ansible operates without requiring an agent on the hosts, unlike Chef. Option D is incorrect since NETCONF is not a common reliance for either tool.
