What is the primary language used to define infrastructure resources in Terraform configuration files?

HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL)

An organization runs a private cloud on VMware ESXi and needs to deploy VM-Series firewalls to protect different segments of their virtualized environment. They want to automate the deployment and initial configuration of these firewalls to reduce manual effort. Which approach best meets this requirement?

Manually deploy each firewall from the vCenter console and configure it using the web interface.

Use the vSphere Web Client to clone the VM-Series image and then use a bootstrap configuration file stored on a shared ISO.

Use Terraform with the vSphere provider to deploy the VM-Series instances, but configure them manually via SSH.

Use VMware vCenter templates and Ansible to clone the VM-Series image and apply the initial configuration via the PAN-OS API.
