Option D seems a bit off to me; I don't think VPN and PXE booting are common for provisioning in the cloud.

Okay, I've got an idea of how I might approach this. The key is to focus on the "common method" part of the question. I'll try to identify the option that describes the most widely used or standard approach to provisioning new cloud instances.

I was just thinking, imagine if you had to install Linux from a disc for every new instance? Talk about a time-sinking nightmare!
