What is a capability of an agentless configuration management system?

Agentless configuration management systems, such as Ansible, do not require agents to be installed on the managed hosts. Instead, they leverage existing protocols and services to perform configuration tasks.

Agentless Approach: These systems rely on protocols like SSH (for Unix/Linux) or WinRM (for Windows) to communicate with and manage the hosts.

No Agent Installation: Managed hosts do not need any additional software (agents) installed, which simplifies management and reduces overhead.

Interpreters: They may require the managed hosts to have an interpreter for scripts (e.g., Python) but primarily use existing network protocols for communication.

Option D correctly identifies that agentless configuration management systems use existing protocols to interface with managed hosts.
