What is the role of YAML in an Ansible playbook?

It is the command-line tool used to execute playbooks

It is the data format used to structure playbooks and define automation tasks

It is the programming language used to write custom Ansible modules

It is the protocol used to communicate between the control node and managed nodes

What is the declarative model in Terraform?

You write step-by-step scripts that are executed in order to provision resources

You use a GUI to manually create resources and then export the configuration

You define the desired end state of the infrastructure, and Terraform determines the steps to achieve it

You define only the resources to delete, and Terraform creates the rest automatically

Why does Ansible use provider modules (e.g., ios_config, nxos_config) when managing network devices?

To replace the need for SSH on network devices

To translate generic commands into device-specific configuration syntax

To abstract the differences between network operating systems and provide a consistent interface

To provide real-time traffic monitoring on network devices

A network team is using Terraform to manage a set of virtual network functions (VNFs) in a cloud environment. They have defined the VNFs in HCL and applied the configuration. Now they need to make a change to the VNF's memory size. What should they do to apply the change?

Use the cloud provider's console to change the memory size and then run terraform refresh

Edit the HCL file and run terraform apply

Use terraform import to update the resource

Run terraform destroy and then terraform apply with the new memory size
