I agree with RQL. It’s more efficient for scanning templates.

I feel like JSON is a strong contender too. It's widely used in IaC.

Not sure about RQL, seems a bit niche for this.

I thought it was A) API, but RQL makes sense too.

I’m leaning towards API, but I recall a practice question that suggested RQL is more specific for this purpose.

I feel like we covered this in class, and RQL stood out as the query type for scanning, but I could be mixing it up with something else.

I remember something about JSON being used in IaC templates, but I don’t think it’s the right answer for scanning.

I think it might be RQL since it’s often used for querying resources, but I’m not entirely sure.
