An engineer needs to automate the configuration of network devices without installing additional software on the devices. Which configuration management tool is best suited for this requirement?
Ansible is an agentless configuration management tool, meaning it does not require any software (agents) to be installed on the network devices it manages. It uses standard protocols like SSH for communication, making it ideal for devices where installing additional software is not feasible. Puppet and Chef require agents on the managed devices to function properly. Terraform is primarily used for provisioning infrastructure and may not be the best choice for configuring network devices in this scenario.
