Which two Cisco ACI components are included in an Application Network Profile?
The correct answer is A. Contracts B. EPGs. An Application Network Profile (ANP) in Cisco ACI is a logical construct that groups all network components related to a specific application, predominantly comprising Endpoint Groups (EPGs) and the Contracts that govern their communication.

Why each option
An Application Network Profile (ANP) in Cisco ACI is a logical construct that groups all network components related to a specific application, predominantly comprising Endpoint Groups (EPGs) and the Contracts that govern their communication.
Contracts define the communication policies and security rules between different Endpoint Groups (EPGs) within an ANP, specifying what traffic is permitted or denied.
Endpoint Groups (EPGs) are core components of an ANP, representing collections of endpoints that share common policy requirements and are grouped for simplified policy application.
Clients are generic end devices and not a specific, configurable component that is 'included' in an ACI Application Network Profile.
Tenants are higher-level logical containers in ACI that encapsulate ANPs and other policies, meaning ANPs reside within tenants, not the other way around.
Contexts (VRFs) are crucial for network segmentation in ACI, but they are associated with Bridge Domains, which in turn are associated with EPGs, rather than being directly 'included' within an ANP itself.
