Practice questions
Why should network automation collect current state before making changes?
Current-state collection confirms the target, detects drift, supports backup, and gives before-and-after evidence for validation and rollback.
Why is structured data useful in network automation?
Structured data makes inventory, templates, API payloads, validation, and reporting easier to parse, test, review, and reuse.
