Correct answer: Autonomous APs are less dependent on the underlay but harder to maintain than cloud-managed APs..
Why this is the answer
Autonomous APs operate independently, storing their configurations locally, making them less reliant on a continuous network connection (underlay) to a controller. However, each autonomous AP must be configured and managed individually, which can be complex and time-consuming, especially in larger deployments, making them harder to maintain. Cloud-managed APs, conversely, rely on a connection to a cloud controller for configuration and management. While this makes them easier to maintain and scale due to centralized control, they are more dependent on the underlay for their operational intelligence.
