What consideration supports adopting network automation?

Manual network changes are prone to human error, leading to misconfigurations, network outages, and security vulnerabilities. These inconsistencies can be difficult to troubleshoot and resolve, increasing operational overhead. Network automation addresses this by standardizing configurations, reducing the likelihood of errors, and ensuring consistency across the network. While automated systems can scale network changes effectively, the first option is incorrect. Automation is not limited to virtual devices; it applies to physical and virtual infrastructure, making the second option incorrect. Finally, network automation typically reduces management operating costs over time by streamlining tasks and minimizing errors, making the third option incorrect.
