As part of stream-lining efforts. Utility Services has been removed starting from Avaya Aura® release 8. Which key function will now be provided by AVP Utilities at release 8.X?

Question

Options

• AFile Server
• BServices Port
• CSoftware &. Firmware Management
• DDomain Name System (DNS)

• A

• B

• C

• D

Explanation

Services Port is correct because when Utility Services was deprecated in Avaya Aura 8.x, its most critical inherited function - providing secure remote access and support connectivity - was transferred to AVP Utilities, which now handles the Services Port role on virtualized platforms.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• File Server (A): File serving functions are handled elsewhere in the Aura architecture (e.g., System Manager), not a key migration point from Utility Services.
• Software & Firmware Management (C): This responsibility belongs to System Manager and related management tools, not AVP Utilities specifically.
• DNS (D): DNS is an infrastructure-level service managed at the network/OS layer, not a function migrated into AVP Utilities.

Memory tip: Think of AVP Utilities as the "access door" - the Services Port is literally the entry point for Avaya support to connect to your system, so AVP Utilities "holds the keys to the door" that Utility Services used to guard.
