A network team utilizes code to automate configurations and maintain consistency across the network infrastructure. The team needs to ensure that they can track changes, collaborate without overwriting each other's work, and revert to previous configurations if necessary. Which is the BEST solution to meet these requirements?
Implementing a network monitoring tool
Using a single shared document to store all network scripts
Establishing a central repository with a version control system
Applying a strict change management process without tooling support
A central repository enables network teams to keep all configuration scripts and automation code in a single location, where it can be accessed and updated by various team members. Version control systems such as Git allow tracking changes to network configurations, collaboratively working on code without overwriting each other's changes, and the ability to revert to previous versions if a new configuration causes issues. Version control is the only option among the given answers that addresses all the specified criteria for collaboration, tracking changes, and reverting to previous states when needed.
