Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR) — Question 392

A network developer needs to automate a procedure to keep all web servers up to date. The web servers run on different operating systems. The solution must be agentless. Which tool meets this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Ansible
• B. Cisco NSO
• C. SaltStack
• D. Puppet

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Ansible is the correct choice because it is agentless and can manage servers across different operating systems using SSH. Cisco NSO, SaltStack, and Puppet typically require agents to be installed on the managed systems, making them unsuitable for this specific requirement.
