Write a brief description in your own words of what each of these features entail. This need not be done in depth. Answer this question as a “what is”, e.g. what is “high speed discovery”; what is “configuration auditing” and so on. You must properly reference your sources.

 

2. Read the code of ethics of the Systems Administrators Guild

of Australia (SAGE-AU), choose any 3 code principles that you think are directly relevant to Systems Administration, and explain in your own words why you think your chosen 3 principles are significant in informing best practices in Systems Administration.
