What is the primary purpose of a PUT request in a RESTful API?

To update or replace an existing resource.

To create a new resource with a server-generated ID.

To remove a resource from the server.

An automation pipeline must remove a decommissioned virtual machine from a cloud provider's inventory. The VM's resource ID is 'vm-9876'. The API requires the request to be idempotent, meaning repeated calls should not cause errors. Which request should the pipeline send?

PUT /vms/vm-9876 with an empty body

An automation script sends a GET request to /users/42 to retrieve user details. The API responds with status code 404 and an empty body. What does this response indicate?

The server encountered an internal error

The request was successful but returned no data

The user with ID 42 does not exist

The API requires authentication

An automation platform must create a new virtual machine in a cloud environment. The API requires an OAuth 2.0 access token and returns a 202 Accepted status code with a 'Location' header pointing to a status endpoint. The platform needs to know when the VM creation is complete. What should the platform do after receiving the 202 response?

Retry the POST request until a 201 status code is returned

Send a DELETE request to the same URL to cancel the operation

Poll the URL in the Location header until it returns a 200 or 201 status code

Assume the VM was created successfully and proceed
