Exam 350-901 topic 1 question 206 discussion

Actual exam question from Cisco's 350-901
Question #: 206
Topic #: 1
[All 350-901 Questions]

A heterogeneous network of vendors and device types needs automating for better efficiency and to enable future automated testing. The network consists of switches, routers, firewalls and load balancers from different vendors, however they all support the NETCONF/RESTCONF configuration standards and the YAML models with every feature the business requires. The business is looking for a buy versus build solution because they cannot dedicate engineering resources, and they need configuration diff and rollback functionality from day 1.
Which configuration management for automation tooling is needed for this solution?

  • A. Ansible
  • B. Ansible and Terraform
  • C. NSO
  • D. Terraform
  • E. Ansible and NSO

C for me. NSO without Ansible. NSO is for all that stuff in question. and 'buy versus build'

Yes, C seems the more correct. Since Ansible lack of rolleback.

Does NSO work with YAML? For me YAML points to Ansible, diff and rollback to NSO. You can buy both: NSO from Cisco and Ansible from RedHat - https://www.ansible.com/products/pricing.

This is where Cisco rubs "hypocrite" on our faces! I doubt anyone thinks NSO is good for anything other than Cisco (and maybe not even that), however, because this is a Cisco certification, you kind of have to concede that whatever Cisco offering is the best option out there... So yeah, pick NSO and shut up.

That said... A few things there points to Ansible... but still, NSO MUST be in the answer because it is Cisco. Hence, I would go with E: Ansible & NSO. (But seriously, don't waste your time and money with NSO)

I believe that the correct answer is E (NSO + Ansible) although I would never recommend this. We could address the requisites with Ansible and the adoption of Git based operations for the diff and rollback. And the cost for NSO is really really high, probably only suited for ISP. But a being a cisco exam I will go with E :)

I was reviewing this question and in fact it say "YAML model" YAML is not a model YANG is a model, so the question is probably wrong and if it is YANG in the question I will choose C. I will go with C (believing that YAML is not in the question...)

Maybe Ansible can use the backup and restore playbook to implement rollback function ?

I will go with NSO on this one. Ansible does not support rollbacks. ----------- No, there is no global functionality for a rollback. You have to add a new play that reverses the action of the other one. ------------
