Which toot allows changes to the configuration management toolset to be tested?
Cisco VIRL is a network simulation platform that allows for the testing and validation of network configurations and changes to the configuration management toolset in a virtual environment. It provides an environment where different network topologies can be simulated, and changes can be tested safely without impacting live networks. This allows users to validate changes, configurations, and management toolsets comprehensively before deploying them in production environments.

correct answer should be A: https://developer.cisco.com/docs/pyats/#!introduction/cisco-pyats-network-test--automation-solution
The questions talks about changes to "configuration management toolset". The way I understand it, is that if I want to make changes to how I use Ansible / Puppet / etc. (config management tools), I want to test my implementation of Puppet somewhere. In that case, "Cisco VIRL" is the right answer. Opinions?
Cisco pyATS: Cisco pyATS is a Python framework for creating automated tests and validations. Everything from device to network or even web GUI features can be tested. It enables developers to construct small test cases that can later scale with infrastructure. Cisco pyATS is available at https://developer.cisco.com/pyats/.
