Why each option
Cisco NSO (Network Services Orchestrator) automates the configuration and management of network services across multi-vendor networks. Its role includes controlling the initial setup and configuration, known as device turn-up.
NSO does not provide public cloud services; it orchestrates services within and across network infrastructure.
Cisco NSO's primary role is to automate the provisioning and configuration of network services and devices. 'Controlling the turn-up of a device' refers to the process of initial deployment, configuration, and bringing a new device or service online, which is a key automation capability of NSO.
While NSO can interact with monitoring systems, its core function is orchestration and configuration, not solely network monitoring services for Layer 3 devices.
NSO maintains configuration data as part of its operation, but 'maintains data storage' is too general and not its primary, defining role.
