QuestionQ254

Automation Design

The network infrastructure team is starting to automate routine tasks in the Cisco ACI fabric and needs the appropriate solution. The solution must not require additional software to be installed on the Cisco APIC. Network team members have no automation experience and would prefer a tool that does not require extensive programming knowledge. Finally, Cisco ACI fabric configuration is seldom changed or removed. Which solution must the team select?

  • A Cobra SDK
  • B Terraform
  • C Ansible
  • D Puppet
Explanation

Ansible is agentless and uses human-readable YAML playbooks, minimizing both APIC-side software requirements and programming complexity. Cisco ACI Ansible modules manage the fabric through the APIC REST API, and their idempotent behavior preserves an already compliant, rarely changing configuration rather than making unnecessary changes.
