Agentless orchestration refers to the process of managing remote systems or devices without installing any additional software or agents on them. It means that the orchestration tool interacts with the remote system using standard protocols and interfaces such as SSH, SNMP, or REST APIs, without needing to install any agent software on the remote system.

Option A is the correct answer. It accurately represents what agentless orchestration means. With agentless orchestration, the remote systems can be managed and automated from a central location without any additional software installations, which reduces the complexity and potential security risks associated with installing and maintaining software agents on multiple systems.

Option B is incorrect because version control is not related to agentless orchestration. Version control refers to the process of managing changes to code or configuration files over time, while agentless orchestration focuses on managing remote systems without installing additional software.

Option C is also incorrect because agentless orchestration does not involve removing malware from the remote system. Instead, it focuses on automating tasks on the remote system without installing additional software.

Option D is incorrect because agentless orchestration does not limit the access to the tool only remotely. The orchestration tool can be installed locally or remotely, and it interacts with the remote systems using standard protocols and interfaces without needing to install any agent software on the remote system.
