Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 184
An engineer must design an automation solution for the Cisco ACI Fabric to speed up the deployment of logical network elements for tenant provisioning. When creating a solution, the engineer must keep in mind that the tool must support these requirements:
* Allow the rapid creation and removal of logical containers.
* Support the creation of custom modules and data structures.
* Be extensible with external libraries and modules.
* Allow rapid testing of code using an on-demand execution environment.
Which automation tool meets these requirements?
Answer options
- A. SaltStack
- B. YAML
- C. Chef
- D. Python
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Chef is designed for automation and configuration management, making it suitable for rapidly creating and managing logical containers, as well as supporting custom modules and extensibility. While SaltStack and Python are powerful tools, they don't specifically focus on the rapid deployment and management of logical network elements in the same way Chef does. YAML, being a data serialization language, lacks the capability to execute automation tasks directly.
