Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer
In most cases, those APIs are both remotely accessible and wrapped into a web-based user interface.
This combination is the cloud management plane, since consumers use it to manage and configure the cloud resources, such as launching virtual machines (instances) or configuring virtual networks. From a security perspective, it is both the biggest difference from protecting physical infrastructure(since you can't rely on physical access as a control)and the top priority when designing a cloud security program. If an attacker gets into your management plane, they potentially have full remote access to your entire cloud deployment.
