Question

A network automation team is moving away from screen-scraping CLI output with brittle regular expressions. They want to programmatically configure and validate device state using a standardized, vendor-neutral schema that defines allowed data types, constraints, and hierarchy. Which statement best describes the primary benefit YANG provides in this workflow?

Accepted Answer

YANG is a data modeling language that defines the structure, constraints, and types of configuration and operational data independent of the encoding or transport used

Answer

YANG is a transport protocol that encrypts configuration sessions between the controller and network devices

Answer

YANG is an encoding format that serializes API payloads into key-value pairs for HTTP requests

Answer

YANG is an orchestration engine that pushes configuration changes to multiple devices simultaneously without an agent
