Question

Options

• AInstallation of a tool is not required on the remote system to perform orchestration tasks

• B

• D

Explanation

In the context of orchestration tools (such as Ansible), 'agentless' means no dedicated software agent or client needs to be installed and running on the remote target system. The orchestration tool communicates directly over standard protocols like SSH or WinRM. This reduces overhead, simplifies management, and lowers security risk. Option B describes version control (a feature of IaC tools, not the meaning of 'agentless'). Option C describes malware removal, which is unrelated. Option D incorrectly implies restricted remote-only access, which is not what agentless means.
