What are two benefits of installing Cisco SD-WAN controllers on cloud-hosted services? (Choose two.)

Cloud-hosted services like Azure, AWS, and GCP provide robust, scalable, and globally distributed infrastructure, making them ideal platforms for deploying SD-WAN controllers and benefiting from their inherent reliability and reach.

Utilizing cloud-hosted services allows for rapid provisioning of virtual machines and infrastructure, significantly accelerating the deployment of Cisco SD-WAN controllers compared to ordering, racking, and configuring physical hardware.

While it's possible to set up controllers in primary/backup across regions in the cloud, this is a design choice and a capability of cloud, not an inherent or automatic outcome of simply installing them there.

WAN Edge devices are typically deployed at branch offices or data centers, providing connectivity from the customer's on-premises network; integrating all WAN Edge devices in the cloud is not an automatic benefit of cloud-hosted controllers.

Installing controllers in the cloud does not automatically implement zone-based firewalling on the controllers themselves; firewalling is configured as part of the SD-WAN policy or on separate security devices.
