, It runs the CI pipeline on any runner that is registered and enabled for a GitLab
project.
It runs the CI pipeline on computers that perform the git push operation.

What is considered good policy when defining the source of truth for a network that is
managed as Infrastructure as Code (IaC)? (Choose 3)
Assigning subnets that are first reserved an IP Address Tool (IPAM)
Using a running configuration on a router to track the public IP addresses owned
by the organization
Maintaining the IaC network in a distributed version control system (VCS)
Storing Circuit information and IDs assigned to a customer in a Configuration
Management Database (CMDB)
What option is a continuous integration benefit?
CI increases the speed to market and helps to realize revenue and results faster.
CI allows you to deliver new features, but more slowly.
It reduces the number of bugs and therefore decreases the uptime necessary to
update the code.
CI does not allow you to focus more time on developing enhancements, because it
follows a predefined model.
What is the reason for inconsistency and config drifts in the network when using a
Network Management System with just partial automation functions available in it?
network orchestration layer
multiple sources of changes
single source of changes
single source of truth
Which of the following statements is true about the role of the Network Orchestration
layer?
It presents the entire network to the management applications as a single entity.
It requires you to use different protocols or APIs for different types of services.
It results from manual configurations by the troubleshooting teams.
It supports managing only the individual network devices directly.
Which Cisco NSO component automates all the necessary changes in the system when
