Question 107

A company owns a large-scale compute infrastructure that consists of over 1000 servers and virtual machines. The operational complexity continues to grow with additional policies and servers added to the environment. An infrastructure engineer is looking for an automation tool to reduce the operational complexity of configuring complex infrastructure. Because of the strict security requirements, the tool must be agentless, use the secure shell for transport, and be extendable using existing Python modules. Which tool meets these requirements?

    Correct Answer: D

    Ansible is an automation tool that meets the specified requirements. It is agentless, which means it does not require any software to be installed on the managed nodes.
