CompTIA DataX (CNX-001) — Question 54

A cloud engineer is planning to build VMs in a public cloud environment for a cloud migration. A cloud security policy restricts access to the console for new VM builds. The engineer wants to replicate the settings for each of the VMs to ensure the network settings are preconfigured. Which of the following is the best deployment method?

Answer options

• A. IaC template
• B. Custom SDK
• C. API script
• D. CLI command

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, IaC template, because it allows for consistent and repeatable configurations across multiple VMs, aligning with the need to replicate settings without console access. The other options, while potentially useful, do not provide the same level of automation and configuration management as an IaC template.
