Which is a valid Endpoint in Self-Service?
Full set: 101 questionsWithin Prism Central Self-Service (Calm/Runbooks) an Endpoint object represents an external machine against which Calm can execute tasks. The product currently recognises only two operating-system types—Linux and Windows. An Endpoint type must therefore be defined generically as Windows (using WinRM/PowerShell) or Linux (using SSH). “Windows” is therefore a valid choice; the other names do not match any supported Endpoint type in Self-Service.
A. API Gateway – Not an Endpoint type; API Gateway is a playbook/action target only.
C. CentOS – CentOS would be covered by the generic “Linux” Endpoint, not recognised as a distinct type.
D. Kubernetes – Kubernetes clusters are added as Calm Providers, not as Endpoints.
