Final answer:
Chef is the Configuration Management Tool that uses HTTPS to communicate between the server and managed nodes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Configuration Management Tool that uses HTTPS is Chef. Configuration management tools are designed to automate the provisioning and management of systems, applications, and infrastructure to ensure that they remain in their desired state. Chef server communicates with the nodes using HTTPS for secure transmission of configuration data. To further clarify the use of HTTPS in Chef, the Chef server has an API that nodes interact with, and this communication is protected using HTTPS. This differs from tools like Ansible, which primarily utilizes SSH for communication, Puppet with its own Puppet agent/master communication protocol, and SaltStack which by default uses ZeroMQ but can be configured to use SSH or RAET as well.
