What is known as the interface used to connect with the metastructure and configure the cloud environment?
The term 'management plane' refers to the interface used to connect with the metastructure and configure the cloud environment. The management plane encompasses tools and interfaces for both cloud providers and users to build, provision, manage, and deprovision cloud resources. This ensures comprehensive control over the cloud environment's infrastructure and operational management.
As stated in Security-Guidance-v4.0, Pg 69 “cloud computing is the act of taking physical assets (like networks and processors) and using them to build resource pools. Metastructure is the glue and guts to create, provision, and deprovision the pool. The management plane includes the interfaces for building and managing the cloud itself, but also the interfaces for cloud users to manage their own allocated resources of the cloud”. Thus, the correct answer is B.
