Question 70
A network upgrade at Pinecrest Schools has two requirements: (1) limit the blast radius of a faulty automation deployment, and (2) verify that a network automation run changed only intended fields. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Both outcomes are covered: (1) Staged automation reduces the number of devices affected by an unexpected template error. (2) Automated configuration still needs evidence that live devices match the authorized target. Neither action is a substitute for the other.
Incorrect Answers
The first step covers (1), but the second addresses avoid a syntax error when a JSON object has several fields. JSON object syntax requires comma-separated key/value pairs and double-quoted keys. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.
Neither step is the requested pair: Send an authenticated HTTP GET to the resource URI is for retrieve a network device's configuration using a REST endpoint, and Require validated evidence and human/network policy checks before execution is for avoid trusting an AI-recommended change without checking live configuration. GET retrieves the representation of a resource without intending to create it. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.
The second step covers (2), but the first addresses understand why a Terraform state file needs secure handling. State can contain infrastructure identifiers and sensitive attributes used to track managed resources. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.
