Stream editing? That sounds a bit off to me.

Wait, are you sure it's not plain text files?

It's definitely JSON for Arista switches!

I keep second-guessing myself, but I think plain text files were more about configuration, not automation.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I believe JSON was mentioned as a common format for scripting.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like we discussed Java in a different context. I don't think it's the answer here.

I think I remember something about JSON being used for automation on Arista switches. It seems like the right choice.

Ah, I remember learning about this in my Arista training. JSON is definitely the object format they use for automation and scripting. Option A is the way to go.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know Arista has its own CLI, but I'm not sure if that translates to the object format used for automation. I'll have to guess on this.

JSON seems like the most likely option here. Arista is known for its programmability, and JSON is a common format for that.

Arista is known for its programmability, so I'm guessing the answer is JSON. I'll mark that down.

Personally, I'm holding out for Arista to release their automation in the form of hand-drawn sketches. It'll be like coding with cave paintings!

I heard Arista is moving to a new object format called 'Interpretive Dance' for their automation. You have to perform the script to make it work.

Stream editing? What is this, the 1980s? I guess if you're feeling nostalgic for vi macros, that could work, but I don't think that's the right answer here.

Java? Really? I don't think Arista has ever used Java for their automation workflows. That's just silly.

Hmm, I was thinking it might be plain text files, but now that I think about it, that doesn't really match Arista's automation approach. JSON makes a lot more sense.
