QuestionQ268

Automation

A DevOps engineer needs to use Python to manage a Cisco device. The device resides in a highly secure DMZ environment, and only trusted Cisco Python libraries may be used.

Which solution satisfies these requirements?

  • A Develop an on-box Python script that uses trusted Cisco libraries.
  • B Develop an application by using serverless technologies in a primary cloud provider.
  • C Develop an off-box Python script that uses trusted Cisco libraries.
  • D Develop a containerization application that uses trusted Cisco-provided libraries.
Explanation

On-box Python automation executes directly on the Cisco device and can use the Python libraries supplied with the device software. This eliminates dependence on an external controller or cloud-hosted platform, which is appropriate for a highly secure DMZ, while meeting the requirement to use trusted Cisco libraries. Cisco documents that on-box Python includes device libraries with direct access to device operations and that on-box scripts eliminate the need for an external controller.
