In large distributed cloud environments, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is crucial for orchestration and automation of networking resources. It dynamically assigns IP addresses, gateways, and DNS configurations to virtual machines and other cloud resources, ensuring seamless network connectivity across pooled infrastructure.
Why Not the Others?
A. DNSSEC: DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) ensures integrity and authenticity of DNS responses but does not handle network orchestration or resource provisioning.
B. DNS: While Domain Name System (DNS) is essential for name resolution in cloud environments, it is not directly responsible for orchestrating networking resources.
C. DCOM: Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) is a Microsoft technology for remote procedure calls, but it is not used for networking orchestration in cloud environments.
