To manage distributed transactions, Entity Framework can utilize ________ to ensure atomicity across multiple service boundaries.

Entity Framework can utilize Two-Phase Commit to manage distributed transactions and ensure atomicity across multiple service boundaries. Two-Phase Commit is a distributed transaction protocol that coordinates the commit or rollback of transactions across multiple participating nodes. It ensures that either all participating nodes commit or none do, thereby maintaining consistency and atomicity in distributed transactional operations. This approach helps in maintaining data integrity and consistency across different services in a distributed system while ensuring that transactions are executed reliably.
