An architect must automate routine tasks within a data center. The data center exclusively uses Cisco Nexus Series Switches. The networking team lacks proper programming knowledge and prefers an autom

NX-API is a REST-based API available natively on Cisco Nexus switches that allows programmatic interaction using standard HTTP/HTTPS protocols. It enables sending NX-OS CLI commands in structured formats like JSON or XML, directly meeting the requirements of leveraging NXOS commands over HTTPS with minimal programming knowledge for the end-user.

Python-API typically implies writing Python scripts directly, which contradicts the requirement for a solution that doesn't require in-depth programming knowledge from the networking team.

Chef is a configuration management tool that uses a Ruby-based DSL and often requires agents or more complex setup, moving away from directly leveraging raw NXOS commands in the preferred manner.

Terraform is an Infrastructure-as-Code tool that uses HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) and focuses on declarative state management, which is different from executing direct NXOS commands.
