Which of the following services is NOT commonly provisioned through RESTful APIs?

Load balancers
Virtual machines
DNS servers
Networking cables

The correct answer is: Networking cables

Networking cables are physical hardware components and are not typically provisioned through RESTful APIs, which are used to interact with cloud services or resources in a programmable manner over the internet. RESTful APIs allow for the management of virtual resources and services, such as virtual machines, load balancers, and DNS servers, which can be created, configured, and controlled without any direct physical interaction. In contrast, networking cables are tangible items that require manual installation and connection. The provisioning of hardware components like cables is not automated through APIs, which emphasize software and service-based resource management rather than physical resource handling. Understanding the role and limitations of RESTful APIs in cloud environments is fundamental to recognizing what can and cannot be provisioned in a non-physical format.
