JNCIA-DevOps: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Automation (2021) — Question 23

Which two statements about Ansible are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Ansible modules only execute a change if required
• B. By default, Ansible core modules use NETCONF to connect to the remote host
• C. By default, Ansible playbooks are executed locally
• D. Ansible uses an agentless architecture

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because Ansible core modules do indeed use NETCONF for connections by default. Option D is also correct as Ansible is designed to operate without agents on the managed nodes. Options A and C are incorrect since Ansible modules do not execute conditionally by default, and playbooks run remotely rather than locally.
