Nokia 4A0-AI1 - Nokia NSP IP Network Automation Professional Composite Exam

According to the NSP Intent Manager Application Help, an intent type has to be in Released state for Intent Manager to provision a request. An intent type can be in Draft, Released or Phased-out state. A Draft state means that the intent type is under development and cannot be used for provisioning. A Phased-out state means that the intent type is no longer supported and cannot be used for provisioning

The script-content.js file contains all the back end implementations required for Intent configurations to be performed.

The script-content.js file is a JavaScript file that defines the logic for creating, updating, deleting and synchronizing intents. It also defines the validation rules and error handling mechanisms for intents.

For example, a script-content.js file could contain:

function createIntent(intent) { // logic for creating an intent }

function updateIntent(intent) { // logic for updating an intent }

Augmented Assurance is a feature that provides “extended automated network operations” with “open APIs and no-code customizable workflows”. Another source2 mentions that NSP offers “automated repetitive tasks and complex workflows” to reduce operating costs.

The Augmented Assurance features provided by the NSP (Nokia Network Services Platform) include:

A. Sorting NEs by highest severity issues B. Intelligent visualization D. On-demand OAM testing

orchestration is the automated configuration, coordination, and management of computer systems and software. Orchestration takes advantage of several tasks that are usually automated to create a more complex workflow.

An orchestrator is a software tool that is used to automate the configuration, coordination, and management of large virtualized systems, middleware, and services. The other three options are not related to the automated configuration, coordination, and management of large virtualized systems, middleware, and services.

Orchestrator is described as "the automated configuration, coordination, and management of large virtualized systems, middleware, and services." The orchestrator is a key component of network automation, enabling the automation and management of complex network functions across multiple devices and platforms.

NSP APIs allow for supervision of network elements, help with the definition and activation of network services, and allow for an OSS and NSP server to talk to each other. However, they do not support GraphQL, which is a query language for APIs. 

According to Nokia NSP IP Network Automation Professional guide, NSP APIs support REST/RESTCONF, SOAP/XML and GraphQlll, and help with the definition and activation of network services, and they also allow for supervision of network elements and an OSS and NSP server to talk to each other. Therefore, statement B is false as it states that NSP APIs support Kafka which is not mentioned in the guide as a supported API.

According to the Nokia NSP Intent Manager Application Help2, Intent Manager has the following benefits:

It allows programmable and flexible logic. You can use scripts to define how intents are translated into network commands and how they react to network events.

It provides concepts for finding misalignments. You can use audit and synchronize functions to detect and resolve any discrepancies between intents and network states.

It provides flexible capabilities for achieving high-level business goals. You can use intents to express complex network behaviors such as service protection, bandwidth optimization, or latency reduction.

Therefore, based on these sources12, the correct answer to your question is:

A. Allows the parallel execution of many workflows.

This is NOT a benefit of Intent Manager because workflows are not related to intents. Workflows are sequences of tasks that can be executed on NSP using Workflow Manager.

According to the Mistral Workflow Language (v2) website1, Mistral Workflow Language supports YAQL and Jinja2 expression languages to reference workflow context variables and thereby implements passing data between workflow tasks. It’s also referred to as Data Flow mechanism. YAQL is a simple but powerful query language that allows to extract needed information from JSON structured data1.

Intent Manager to communicate with network elements that are not directly supported by NSP12. A generic mediator can use SNMP or other protocols to interact with network elements.
