Operators rerun an Ansible play that should ensure one static route exists on each IOS XE edge. A task always appends the route CLI blindly. What problem does that create?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Idempotency means a second coat of paint looks the same—not a thicker drip every time you brush. Always-append duplicates break that promise.
Full Explanation
Playbooks are constructed so rerunning converges to the same intended state. A task that always appends a static route duplicates entries and fails that workflow goal. Append-forever is not idempotent; the failure does not reassign the task to Terraform or Puppet.
