What are the two advantages of deploying cloud-based Cisco SD-WAN controllers? (Choose two.)

SD-WAN separates the control and data planes rather than centralizing them together - the data plane remains distributed at the edge.

Deploying SD-WAN controllers in the cloud leverages Infrastructure as a Service, eliminating the need to provision and maintain dedicated physical hardware for vManage, vSmart, and vBond.

Cloud-based controllers provide centralized visibility and management of SLAs across all WAN transports, enabling administrators to monitor and enforce performance policies from a single pane of glass.

Centralized RAID storage is a data center storage concept unrelated to the advantages of cloud-hosted SD-WAN controllers.

SD-WAN uses centralized policy distribution via vSmart, not distributed authentication policies, and this is not a unique advantage of cloud-based deployment.
