Which technology is an open-source infrastructure automation tool that automates repetitive tasks for users who work in networks such as cloud provisioning and intraservice orchestration?
Ansible is an open-source automation tool that enables configuration management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, and orchestration.
It uses simple YAML-based playbooks and SSH-based connectivity, making it agentless, highly scalable, and easy to integrate with networking environments.
Commonly adopted in network automation, cloud infrastructure provisioning, and service orchestration as part of modern network design practices covered under CCDE v3.1.
Why other options are incorrect:
B (Contrail): Network virtualization platform, not primarily an automation tool.
C (Java): General-purpose programming language, not specifically designed for infrastructure automation.
D (Jinja2): Templating engine, used inside Ansible but not an automation tool by itself.
