Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 486

What does the management plane typically utilize to perform administrative functions on the hypervisors that it has access to?

Answer options

• A. Scripts
• B. RDP
• C. APIs
• D. XML

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as APIs enable the management plane to interact programmatically with hypervisors for administrative tasks. While scripts (A) can be used, they are not the primary method. RDP (B) is a remote desktop protocol for graphical access, not for administrative functions, and XML (D) is a markup language that may be used in conjunction with APIs but does not perform administrative actions on its own.
