I'm not sure, but I would choose root for performing tasks and operations via SSH on CVM.

I think nutanix could also be a valid option, as it is related to the platform itself.

I believe root is recommended because it has full control and privileges over the system.

But wouldn't the administrator account also have sufficient privileges for those tasks?

Alright, alright, let's wrap this up. I think we've covered all the bases here. My final answer is D) root, but I'm open to being convinced otherwise if someone can provide a really solid argument. Let's just make sure we all agree before the exam, okay?

I'm not so sure about that. Wouldn't it be a security risk to use the root account all the time? I'm leaning more towards A) administrator or B) admin. Those seem like safer options.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think the correct answer is D) root. That's the most privileged account and the one we typically use for admin tasks on the CVM.

But be careful with root access, it grants full control and can be risky if not used properly.
