I remember reading about the SAM file, and I'm pretty confident it's in the config directory, so I would go with A as well.

I think the key here is to focus on the level of understanding that executives need. The question is asking where they tend to need the greatest level of understanding, so I'll need to carefully consider the options.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Are the three types really Start, Update, and End? Or is it something else?

Wait, is statement D correct or not? I'm a little confused about whether the system can or can't block unsigned images. I'll need to review the details on the cloud-native delivery chain again.
