CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-004) — Question 29

A systems administration team has decided to treat their systems as immutable instances. They keep the desired state of each of their systems in version control and apply automation whenever they provision a new instance. If there is an issue with one of their servers, instead of troubleshooting the issue, they terminate the instance and rebuild it using automation.
Which of the following is this an example of?

Answer options

• A. Inventory
• B. Orchestration
• C. Infrastructure as code
• D. Agentless deployment

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Orchestration, because the process involves coordinating multiple automated processes to manage the lifecycle of servers. The other options do not accurately describe this scenario: A (Inventory) refers to asset tracking, C (Infrastructure as code) relates to managing infrastructure through code rather than automation for instance rebuilding, and D (Agentless deployment) pertains to deployment methods that do not require agents on the target machines.
