A company is preparing to deploy a fleet of virtual machines using a custom image that contains their proprietary software stack. The deployment needs to enable rapid scaling and consistent configuration across all instances. Which of the following deployment methods should the cloud professional use to meet these requirements?
Manually provision each virtual machine with the required configurations.
Use a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering and install the proprietary software stack post-deployment.
Set up multiple VMs in a hyperconverged infrastructure without a custom image.
Configure a container orchestration platform to manage the deployment of VMs.
Adopt a serverless architecture to automatically handle the deployment and scaling of VMs.
Utilize templates that include the company's software stack for deploying the VM instances.
Using templates for deployment allows for rapid scaling and ensures that each virtual machine is instantiated with a consistent configuration. Templates can include settings, software stacks, and configurations that are tailored to the company's needs, enabling a standardized and efficient deployment process. Provisioning individual VMs manually would be too time-consuming and error-prone, and while containers may provide consistency, they are not used to deploy VMs but rather to run applications in a portable and lightweight environment. A serverless approach is more suitable for applications that require on-demand, automatic scaling rather than pre-defined VM instances.
