Question

Which two of the following would be considered optimal ways to access a Cloud Provider's authorized resources?
Telnet
private Direct Connection
FTP

Accepted Answer

⚹ When considering the optimal ways to access a Cloud Provider's authorized resources, we must evaluate the security and efficiency of each method. ⚹ ⚹ Telnet is an older protocol that transmits data in plaintext, which is not secure for sensitive information. ⚹ ⚹ Private Direct Connection offers a dedicated network connection between your infrastructure and the cloud provider, which is secure and can provide consistent network performance. ⚹ ⚹ FTP, while widely used for file transfer, does not inherently provide encryption for data in transit, making it less secure than other methods. ⚹ ⚹ Therefore, the two optimal ways to access a Cloud Provider's authorized resources from the options provided would be: ⚹ ‖ ▪ ⋮ Private Direct Connection: for its secure and dedicated connection that can ensure data privacy and consistent performance. ‖ ‖ ▪ ⋮ FTP with TLS/SSL (FTPS or SFTP): if FTP must be used, it should be secured with TLS/SSL to encrypt the connection and protect data in transit. However, this option was not explicitly listed, so within the given choices, only Private Direct Connection stands out as optimal. ‖ ⚹ In conclusion, the optimal methods for accessing a Cloud Provider's authorized resources are Private Direct Connection and, if FTP is secured with TLS/SSL, FTP. However, since only FTP was mentioned and not FTPS or SFTP, the most secure option provided is the Private Direct Connection. ⚹
