An engineer must design a cloud platform for managing IaC. The solution must be flexible, integrate with APIs, and allow for automation. What must be used?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) requires:

Declarative configuration

Automation

API-driven workflows

Multi-cloud capability

Integration with orchestration and provisioning tools

Terraform is a widely adopted IaC platform supporting:

Cloud automation (AWS, Azure, GCP, private clouds)

Cisco infrastructure provisioning (Nexus, ACI, IOS-XR, NSO, SD-WAN, etc.)

REST APIs and providers for programmability

Cisco provides official Terraform providers for multiple platforms, enabling full IaC operations. This aligns exactly with SP cloud automation design principles.

Other options:

Cloud-based sandboxes For testing, not IaC automation

ThousandEyes Monitoring and performance analytics

AppDynamics Application performance management

A) Cloud-based sandboxes could work too, but not ideal.

I’m confused about the options. I thought Cisco ThousandEyes was more about monitoring, not really fitting for IaC management.

I practiced a similar question where automation was key, and I feel like Terraform was mentioned a lot. So B) seems like a strong candidate.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about APIs being crucial for integration. Maybe A) Cloud-based sandboxes could be relevant?

I think the answer might be B) Cisco with Terraform, since Terraform is all about infrastructure as code and automation, right?
