A municipal campus team must push IOS XE interface and VLAN changes with an agentless playbook that SSHes existing switches. Which tool matches official DEVCOR 5.3.a construction?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Think of Ansible as the city’s field crew with a shared checklist—SSH into boxes that already exist and run the tasks. Puppet was a leftover v1.0 path, not today’s 5.3.a playbook answer, and Terraform belongs to the separate 5.3.b workflow.
Full Explanation
Official DEVCOR v1.1 task 5.3.a constructs an Ansible playbook for network parameters on reachable devices. Ansible is agentless over SSH and fits large existing IOS XE estates. Puppet may appear only as a discarded v1.0 distractor, never as the correct 5.3.a playbook. Terraform is the 5.3.b tool (provider, plan, apply, state), not a synonym for the playbook construction.
