WGU D415 SOFTWARE DEFINED
NETWORKING SCRIPT COMPLETE
ANSWERS GRADED A+
◉ Chef
Answer: Uses code written in Ruby and a specialized Domain-
Specific Language (DSL)
◉ Ansible
Answer: Uses YAML-based playbooks, while also using JSON for
data serialization during task execution and communication.
◉ Ansible
Answer: Operates agentlessly over SSH, automating processes
within an environment
◉ Virtual Network Function (VNF)
Answer: Software implementation of a network function that
traditionally would be performed by dedicated hardware
appliances
◉ Virtual Network Function Manager (VNFM)
, Answer: Responsible for managing the lifecycle of VNFs. Handles
VNF deployment, scaling, updating, and termination. Interacts
with the NFV infrastructure.
◉ Virtual Network Function Infrastructure (VNFI)
Answer: Virtualized resources required to support the execution
of VNFs. Includes compute, storage, and network resources that
VNFs need to operate effectively.
◉ Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)
Answer: Architectural approach that involves virtualizing and
consolidating network functions onto standard hardware.
◉ Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)
Answer: Allows functions to run as software on general-purpose
servers, reducing the need for dedicated hardware.
◉ Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS)
Answer: Framework used to assess and communicate the severity
of vulnerabilities in software and systems. Assigns score based on
impact, exploitability, and complexity
◉ NIST SP 800-53 Security Controls
Answer: Outlines a comprehensive set of security controls across
various control families, including access control, configuration
management, incident response, and more.
