CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 63

Which two statements describe network automation and network orchestration? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Provisioning network services is an example of network automation
• B. Network orchestration is used to run single, low-level tasks without human intervention
• C. Network automation does not provide governance or policy management
• D. Network automation spans multiple network services, vendors, and environments
• E. Network orchestration is done through programmatic REST APIs enabling automation across devices and management platforms

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

Option C is correct because it indicates that network automation does not include governance or policy management, which is true. Option E is also correct as it describes how network orchestration utilizes REST APIs for automation. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they misrepresent the roles of network automation and orchestration in terms of provisioning, task execution, and the scope of services.
