An architect needs vendor-agnostic technology to orchestrate and automate a customer network with scripts. The technology must support running ad-hoc scripts from the CLI and support a deployment of s

Python is a versatile, vendor-agnostic scripting language with a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks specifically tailored for network automation and orchestration (e.g., `requests`, `netmiko`, `napalm`).

Cisco Power Tool implies a vendor-specific solution, which directly contradicts the requirement for a vendor-agnostic technology.

Cisco Intersight is a cloud-based management platform specifically for Cisco UCS and HyperFlex, making it a vendor-specific platform rather than a vendor-agnostic scripting technology.
