JNCIA-DevOps: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Automation and DevOps — Question 3

Which statement is true about using Ansible a Junos device?

Answer options

• A. The Junos device does not have an Ansible agent installed
• B. SFTP must be used to allow communication between the Ansible control server and the Junos device
• C. An Ansible playbook is a set of tasks written in XML
• D. Ansible modules are copied and executed on the Junos device

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Ansible modules are indeed copied to the Junos device and executed there to perform tasks. Option A is incorrect as Junos devices do not require an Ansible agent; they communicate over SSH. Option B is wrong because communication does not necessitate SFTP, and option C is false since Ansible playbooks are written in YAML, not XML.
