Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 228

A network architect must design an automation solution to initially support networking and also support the server infrastructure in the future. To keep configuration consistency, the network team requires a solution that enforces the desired state of the network and reverts any manual configuration. Which solution meets these goals?

Answer options

• A. NX-API
• B. Ansible
• C. Puppet
• D. Terraform

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Puppet is designed to enforce configuration management and maintain the desired state of systems, making it ideal for reverting any manual changes. NX-API and Ansible are not primarily focused on enforcing the desired state, while Terraform is more suited for infrastructure provisioning rather than configuration enforcement.
