A satellite communications ISP frequently experiences outages and degraded modes of operation over one of its legacy satellite links due to the use of deprecated hardware and software. Three days per week, on average, a contracted company must follow a checklist of 16 different high-latency commands that must be run in serial to restore nominal performance. The ISP wants this process to be automated.
Which of the following techniques would be BEST suited for this requirement?

A. Deploy SOAR utilities and runbooks.
B. Replace the associated hardware.
C. Provide the contractors with direct access to satellite telemetry data.
D. Reduce link latency on the affected ground and satellite segments.
