Answer: D

Explanation:

The Juniper Apstra Rendered configuration is the configuration that is generated from the staged blueprint and applied to the devices in the network. The Rendered configuration is dynamically rendered at commit time, which means that it is created on the fly based on the latest changes and validations in the blueprint. The Rendered configuration is not stored in any database, but it can be viewed in the Apstra UI or downloaded as a file. The Rendered configuration reflects the desired state of the network as defined by the intent of the blueprint.

The other options are incorrect because:

– A. It is built at commit time and stored in a MySQL database is wrong because the Rendered configuration is not stored in any database, let alone a MySQLdatabase. Apstra uses a graph database to store the network topology and configuration data, not a relational database like MySQL.

– B. It is stored in a NoSQL database and incrementally updated is wrong because the Rendered configuration is not stored in any database, let alone a NoSQL database. Apstra uses a graph database to store the network topology and configuration data, not a non-relational database like NoSQL. The Rendered configuration is not incrementally updated, but dynamically rendered at commit time.

– D. It is rendered from the graph database and stored locally is wrong because the Rendered configuration is not rendered from the graph database, but from the staged blueprint. The graph database stores the network topology and configuration data, but the Rendered configuration is generated from the blueprint, which is a logical representation of the network design and intent. The Rendered configuration is not stored locally, but it can be downloaded as a file if needed.
