What do Tanium clients do if CDN downloads fail?

When Tanium clients encounter a failure in downloading content from the Content Delivery Network (CDN), they switch to downloading from Tanium Cloud as a fallback option. This is a built-in mechanism to ensure that clients can still obtain necessary updates, patches, or configurations even if the primary source (CDN) is unavailable. By leveraging Tanium Cloud, clients maintain operational continuity, which is crucial for effective endpoint management. This behavior exemplifies Tanium's resilience and commitment to providing seamless access to essential resources within its architecture.

The other options do not align with the established processes within Tanium. While retrying the download from the CDN seems logical, it is not the primary behavior when CDN downloads fail; the system doesn't simply notify the administrator of the failure, nor does it initiate a system reboot, as both actions would not be as efficient or effective in maintaining operational integrity.
