In a hybrid cloud deployment, what is the primary function of Ansible in managing Palo Alto Networks NGFWs?

Answer options

• C. It facilitates dynamic updates to NGFW threat databases.
• D. It automates NGFW policy updates and configurations through playbooks.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is accurate because Ansible is designed to automate tasks including policy updates and configurations for NGFWs using playbooks. Options A, B, and C describe functions that are not the primary focus of Ansible, which is primarily focused on automation rather than providing interfaces or log management.
