A customer needs a tool to take advantage of the CI/CD model to streamline its operations and optimize cost.
The customer wants to integrate the solution with the Cisco products it currently uses, including Cisco ACI networking and Cisco UCS Series servers.
The solution should also provide on-premises Kubernetes and AppDynamics performance monitoring.
Because of the security requirements, the solution should not install a local client on products under management.
Which orchestration solution meets these requirements?
Click on the arrows to vote for the correct answer
A. B. C. D.B.
The given scenario requires an orchestration solution that can streamline operations, optimize cost, integrate with Cisco ACI networking and UCS servers, provide on-premises Kubernetes and AppDynamics performance monitoring, and meet security requirements by not installing a local client on products under management.
Among the given options, Cisco CloudCenter is the most appropriate solution for this scenario. Cisco CloudCenter is a multi-cloud management platform that enables organizations to securely deploy and manage applications across multiple data center, private cloud, and public cloud environments. It provides an orchestration engine that supports the CI/CD model, enabling streamlined operations and optimized cost.
Cisco CloudCenter integrates with Cisco ACI networking and UCS servers, allowing for seamless deployment of applications across these environments. It also provides on-premises Kubernetes and AppDynamics performance monitoring capabilities.
Furthermore, Cisco CloudCenter meets the security requirements by not requiring a local client to be installed on products under management. It achieves this through the use of agents that communicate securely with the Cisco CloudCenter platform.
In contrast, Cisco UCS Director is primarily focused on UCS server management and automation and does not have the same level of multi-cloud orchestration capabilities as Cisco CloudCenter. Cisco APIC is a network controller for Cisco ACI networking and does not provide the same level of application orchestration capabilities as Cisco CloudCenter. Cisco DCNM is a network management solution for Cisco data center infrastructure and does not have the same level of application orchestration capabilities as Cisco CloudCenter.
Therefore, the best option among the given choices is Cisco CloudCenter.
