1. Understanding the Issue:
A non-supported Linux version indicates an issue with the configuration or template used during provisioning.
Automation scripts work correctly, so the problem likely lies upstream in the provisioning setup.
2. Analyzing the Options:
A . Provisioning script indentation:
Incorrect. Indentation issues typically result in syntax errors, not incorrect Linux versions. ❌ B . Template selection:
Correct. Incorrect or outdated templates can provision servers with unsupported configurations or OS versions. ✅ C . API version:
Incorrect. API versioning is related to compatibility with cloud services but is unlikely to affect the OS version on a server. ❌ D . Script account:
Incorrect. The account running the script has no direct impact on the OS version of the provisioned server. ❌
3. Why Template Selection is Key:
Templates define the OS, version, and configurations for provisioned instances.
Reviewing the selected template ensures it aligns with the organization's standards.
