Executive Summary
This editable model report presents a structured approach for WGU D522 Task 1, Python for IT Automation. It
combines Linux device inventory, network reachability testing, and DNS auditing into a repeatable Python
workflow.
The design emphasizes input validation, modular functions, timeouts, logging, secure credential handling,
structured output, and evidence capture. DNS differences are treated as findings requiring investigation rather
than automatically declared compromises.
Important
This is an original study/model framework, not an official WGU answer key and not proof that a lab was
completed. Replace all example values, code output, screenshots, findings, and assumptions with original work
and verify the current rubric.
