JN0-262 practice examsIn development
Juniper Networks Certified Associate, DevOps
Treating the network as code: the case for automation over slow, inconsistent manual change, the XML, JSON and YAML data formats representing the same structured data, APIs over CLI scripting with NETCONF exchanging XML over SSH and YANG modelling device data; then Python and PyEZ driving devices programmatically, agentless declarative Ansible with idempotent playbooks describing desired state, version control making change reviewable and reversible, and a CI/CD pipeline that validates, tests and deploys configuration automatically on commit.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| Automation concepts, data formats and NETCONF | Not published |
| Tools, PyEZ, Ansible and CI/CD | Not published |
Two sample questions
1. Why is starting automation with read-only or reporting tasks a prudent adoption path?
- Value and confidence without risking device state — correct
- Read-only tasks run faster than writes
- Reporting needs no version control
- Read tasks require no credentials
Why: Read-only tasks such as gathering state deliver value and build the team confidence and skills without the risk of changing device configuration, which is a safe way to begin adopting automation.
2. Why represent config as data?
- To confuse the tools
- To slow down change
- So tools can check it — correct
- To hide the config
Why: Representing config as data lets tools generate, validate and diff it.
