Drag and Drop Question Drag and drop the characteristics from the left onto the tools on the right. Not all options are used. Answer:

The correct answer is deploy server instances; works with immutable elements; deploy and configure applications and software; works with mutable elements. The correct arrangement pairs infrastructure provisioning tools (like Terraform) with 'deploy server instances' and 'works with immutable elements' because they spin up cloud/server infrastructure and treat resources as immutable - replacing rather than modifying them.

deploy and configure applications and software

Explanation

The correct arrangement pairs infrastructure provisioning tools (like Terraform) with 'deploy server instances' and 'works with immutable elements' because they spin up cloud/server infrastructure and treat resources as immutable - replacing rather than modifying them. Configuration management tools (like Ansible, Chef, or Puppet) are correctly paired with 'deploy and configure applications and software' and 'works with mutable elements' because they install, configure, and manage software on existing servers, modifying them in place over time.
