A systems administrator is provisioning a large number of virtual Linux machines that will be configured identically. The administrator would like to configure the machines quickly and easily but does not have access to an automation/orchestration platform. Additionally, the administrator would like to set up a system that can be used in the future, even on newer versions of the OS. Which of the following will best meet the administrator's requirements?

A.

Configuring a single server and then creating clones of it
Answers
E.
Configuring a single server and then creating clones of it
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

Kickstart Files (Linux):Kickstart files are configuration files that automate the Linux installation process. They contain pre-determined answers to installation prompts, allowing for identical and rapid deployment of multiple systems. (CompTIA Server+ Objectives SK0-004: 3.1, Red Hat documentation on Kickstart:https://access.redhat.com/documentation/)

Why other options are less ideal:

VM Template (A):Templates are useful for replicating the OS & some software, but might not capture all configurations.

Manual Configuration (C):Time-consuming and prone to errors when replicating across many servers.

Copy/Paste via SSH (D):Tedious, error-prone, and requires servers to be online before configuration.

Cloning (E):Can work but has version compatibility risks if the OS of the cloned server isn't identical to the new ones.
