Which of the following APIs are most commonly used within a cloud environment?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and Representational State Transfer (REST) are the most commonly used APIs within a cloud environment. Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) are both standards for exchanging encoded data between two parties, with XML being for more general use and SAML focused on authentication and authorization data.

I vaguely remember that SAML is more about authentication, so I’m not sure if it fits as a common API in cloud setups.

Okay, let me see. REST is definitely a top choice for cloud APIs, but I'm not sure about the other options. I think I'll go with B - SOAP and REST, since those seem to be the most widely adopted.
