A development group needs a method to distribute updates across multiple machines while avoiding specialized software on each machine. They also want to simplify how tasks are defined, and they want remote operations to use a secure channel. Which method is BEST for accomplishing these configuration guidelines?
Applying tasks with an agentless design that uses a structured syntax over an encrypted form of communication
Adopting a centralized tool that depends on unique software installed on every host
Scheduling management operations on each server with manual scripts distributed locally
Placing environment-specific configuration details in local files for each system to run independently
The correct option describes a method that does not require an extra program on the targets, defines tasks in a readable format, and protects traffic with encryption. This addresses the need for minimal manual setup and consistent control of system state. Other options rely on local scripts, agents, or repetitive scheduling, which create possible inconsistencies and more overhead.
