Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR) — Question 284

A development team is looking for a tool to automate configurations across the infrastructure. The tool must have these characteristics:

• written in Go
• defining a configuration for intent
• stateful
• declarative

Which tool meets these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Terraform is the correct choice because it is written in Go and supports a declarative approach to infrastructure as code, allowing the definition of desired states. NAPALM, Chef, and NSX do not meet all the specified requirements, particularly in terms of being written in Go or lacking a fully declarative configuration model.
