Security
Question
A cloud administrator is securing access to a VM using an IaaS cloud platform. The administrator must perform this task using an automated method, allow administrators to perform any method and expose any property of the VM, deny access for everyone else, and allow only read-only access to everyone else. Given this scenario, which of the following should the administrator use to BEST meet these requirements?
Options
- AjQuery
- BJavaScript
- CJava
- DJSON
Explanation
Automating granular VM access control on an IaaS platform requires a full programming language capable of calling cloud management APIs and enforcing role-based policies.
Common mistakes.
- A. jQuery is a JavaScript library for DOM manipulation in web browsers and has no capability to interface with IaaS management APIs for VM access control.
- B. JavaScript is a web-centric scripting language and, while Node.js can call cloud APIs, it is not the standard or most capable choice for enterprise IaaS automation with fine-grained access control enforcement.
- D. JSON is a data interchange format used to represent configurations and policies, but it is not an executable programming language and cannot perform automated logic on its own.
