Exam 200-301 topic 1 question 781 discussion

Anyone know why A isn't an answer? From my knowledge there been a significant push for automatic fault detection and repair.

There is not a fixed reason for businesses to use automation. One business may want A while another company may want B. This question is just nonsense.

i think there are correct 3 answers here, but after researches i found that C & E are more correct

A & C are correct

The two primary drivers that support the need for network automation are: A. Increasing reliance on self-diagnostic and self-healing: Automation supports networks in monitoring and adjusting themselves without manual intervention, which is increasingly important for maintaining system health and uptime. C. Policy-driven provisioning of resources: Automation allows organizations to implement policies that automatically manage the provisioning of resources, ensuring that the network adapts to changing demands quickly and efficiently. These aspects are essential for modern network management, providing scalability, agility, and resilience. They allow networks to be more dynamic and responsive to the needs of the business.

A and C based on Cisco docs: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/executive-perspectives/network-automation-strategy-wp.html

You can use Ansible and another tool like Puppet. In this case 2 entry points, 22 and 8140. I'm wrong ? A : use automation allows to have the same configuration everywhere and troubleshooting is easier

A, C and E are true. But C and E are often more widely recognized as primary drivers for network automation across various use cases and industries. So I would go with C and E.

policy driven hahhahahahah not driven formula one hahaha its policy-derived

Increasing reliance on self-diagnostic and self-healing Policy-derived provisioning of resources

A. Increasing reliance on self-diagnostic and self-healing C. Policy-driven provisioning of resources The two primary drivers that support the need for network automation are: A. Increasing reliance on self-diagnostic and self-healing: As networks become more complex, the ability to automatically diagnose issues and initiate self-healing processes becomes crucial for maintaining network stability and reducing downtime. C. Policy-driven provisioning of resources: Network automation enables organizations to define policies for resource provisioning and configuration. This helps ensure consistent and standardized configurations across the network, reducing the risk of errors and misconfigurations. The other options (B, D, and E) are not typically considered primary drivers for network automation.

"Providing a single entry point for resource provisioning" I believe refers to the need to have a single centralized point for managing and configuring resources on a network.

I think that the DE option focuses on virtualization and not on network management by automation

I think A,C, and E are correct answers, if I have to choose two I would go with C and E.

Which two primary drivers support the need for network automation? (Choose two.) Policy-driven provisioning of resources & Providing a single entry point for resource provisioning. no arguing. let's just accept that network automation is meant for policy-driven provisioning and providing a single point of entry for provisioning. what matters is to pass the test, not to dispute cisco's idealised worldview
