Nope, cloud-based is the future! Less hassle overall.

I thought autonomous mode APs were easier to set up, but I can’t recall if that means they’re also easier to automate. This question is tricky!

I’m pretty certain that cloud-based mode APs simplify management, but I’m not clear on whether they’re harder to automate compared to autonomous ones.

I think cloud-based APs are easier to deploy, but I’m a bit confused about their reliance on underlays. I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before.

I remember that autonomous APs can be more complex to manage since they require individual configuration, but I'm not sure if that makes them less dependent on an underlay.

Easy, autonomous APs are simpler to deploy and manage, while cloud-based rely more on the network infrastructure. Just need to pick the option that best fits the scenario.

Okay, I think the key is understanding the tradeoffs - autonomous APs are less dependent on the underlay but more complex, while cloud-based are the opposite. Gotta weigh those factors.

I bet the network admin's decision will come down to whether they prefer autonomy or remote control. It's the age-old battle of freedom vs. oversight!

Option B is definitely wrong. Who would ever choose cloud-based mode if it's more complex to maintain? Someone needs to tell the exam writers to lay off the trick questions.
