Your organization operates 150 branch routers and switches that are currently configured individually through the CLI. The engineering team is testing an Ansible playbook that will push a standard interface and QoS template to every device in a single job. According to accepted network-automation benefits, which operational outcome should the team expect after adopting this automated approach?
Change-control approval is no longer necessary for future configuration deployments.
Configurations are applied identically to each device, reducing human error and configuration drift.
Automation automatically upgrades hardware modules to increase throughput without manual intervention.
Maintenance windows become longer because engineers must log in to verify each line manually after the playbook runs.
Using an automation tool to push a common template applies the same commands to every device in exactly the same order, removing typos, missed lines, or inconsistent syntax. This uniformity reduces configuration drift and the outages it can cause. Automation does not eliminate established change-control reviews, cannot upgrade hardware by itself, and typically shortens-rather than lengthens-maintenance windows because no engineer needs to touch each device manually.
