On which operating systems is pyATS natively supported?

PyATS, or Python Automated Test Systems, is a framework developed by Cisco for network testing and automation. This framework is primarily designed to operate on environments that support Python and its dependencies.

The correct choice indicates that pyATS is natively supported on macOS and Linux. Both of these operating systems are widely used in development and testing environments, particularly in networking and systems automation tasks, due to their robust command-line interfaces and support for Python ecosystems.

macOS provides a Unix-like environment which allows for compatibility with many tools typically used in network automation, similar to Linux. Furthermore, developers and engineers often favor these operating systems for scripting and automation tasks because they easily handle various dependencies and libraries needed for network automation frameworks like pyATS.

In contrast, while Windows does have capabilities for running Python-based applications, it generally requires additional configurations or tools, such as Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), to create an environment suitable for frameworks like pyATS. Therefore, support is not native in the same way as it is for macOS and Linux.
