CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) — Question 289

A company wants to improve and automate the compliance of its cloud environments to meet industry standards. Which of the following resources should the company use to best achieve this goal?

Answer options

• A. Jenkins
• B. Python
• C. Ansible
• D. PowerShell

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Ansible is specifically designed for automation and configuration management, making it the ideal choice for automating compliance in cloud environments. Jenkins, while useful for continuous integration, does not focus on compliance automation. Python is a versatile programming language but lacks built-in compliance management features. PowerShell is primarily a scripting language for Windows environments and is less suited for cross-platform cloud compliance automation.
