Integration and Automation

An organization is adopting an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach to manage its complete network environment, including its Palo Alto Networks firewalls. The organization has selected Ansible as the primary tool for this initiative.

How does Ansible support an IaC model for managing the organization’s firewalls?

  • A By providing real-time threat intelligence feeds directly to the firewalls' data plane
  • B By providing a graphical user interface that simplifies the creation of security policies through a drag-and-drop interface
  • C By automatically discovering and mapping all network devices to generate a baseline configuration
  • D By defining firewall configurations in playbooks that can be version-controlled and executed repeatedly
Explanation

Ansible playbooks define the desired firewall configuration as code. They can be maintained in version control and executed repeatedly to apply or confirm the intended state, which provides repeatable, auditable Infrastructure as Code management.
