Question
A systems administration team has decided to their systems as immutable instances. They keep the desired state of each of their systems in version control and apply automation whenever they provision a new instance. If there is an issue with one of their servers, instead of troubleshooting the issue they terminate the instance and rebuild it using automation. Which of the following is this an example of?
Options
- AInventory
- BOrchestration
- CInfrastructure as code
- DAgentless deployment

Explanation
This scenario describes Infrastructure as Code (IaC). The key indicators are: desired state stored in version control, automation used for provisioning, and instances being rebuilt from code rather than manually patched. Tools like Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, or Chef implement IaC by defining infrastructure in text-based configuration files that can be version-controlled and applied consistently. Option A (Inventory) refers to cataloging existing resources, not defining or automating their creation. Option B (Orchestration) refers to coordinating the execution order of tasks, which is a related but narrower concept. Option D (Agentless deployment) describes a deployment method where no agent software runs on target nodes - it is not the concept being described here.
