Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR) — Question 383

A team of engineers must manage and configure an infrastructure programmatically. The team must be able to bootstrap and configure new servers and switches remotely without using an agent. Which configuration management tool meets the requirements?

Answer options

• A. Chef
• B. Jenkins
• C. Puppet
• D. Terraform

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Terraform is the correct choice because it allows for infrastructure as code, enabling remote bootstrapping and configuration without the need for an agent. Chef, Jenkins, and Puppet are more focused on configuration management and orchestration, which typically require an agent to be installed on the nodes they manage.
