CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) — Question 42

A CI/CD pipeline is used to deploy VMs to an IaaS environment. Which of the following can be used to harden the operating system once the VM is running?

Answer options

• A. Docker
• B. Kubernetes
• C. Git
• D. Ansible

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Ansible is a powerful automation tool that can be used to apply security configurations and updates to the operating system of a running VM. In contrast, Docker and Kubernetes are primarily focused on container orchestration and management, while Git is a version control system and does not directly relate to hardening an OS.
