NEW QUESTION # 60
A developer has been asked to update the existing blueprint with an additional option of scaling it both out and in.
Where in the Blueprint Editor should the developer make the relevant changes?
- A. Environment, Actions
- B. Blueprint, Configuration
- C. Application Profile, Actions
- D. Configuration, Settings
Answer: C
Explanation:
To enable scaling for a blueprint, the developer needs to add scaling actions to the application profile. Scaling actions are scripts that define how to scale out (add more instances) or scale in(remove instances) of an application tier. The developer can also specify the minimum and maximum number of instances allowed for each tier, and the scaling policy (manual or automatic) based on metrics or schedules. The developer can access the application profile from the Blueprint Editor by clicking on the application name and then selecting the Actions tab.

NEW QUESTION # 61
An Application team has provided an administrator the following high level requirements for infrastructure they require:
5 Application VMs
2 Database VMs
2 Web VMs
Which two pieces of information are needed, at a minimum, to effectively automate the scaling of the environment? (Choose two.)
- A. If the application needs to be highly available
- B. Steady state resource utilization
- C. SLA uptime of the application
- D. Expected resource utilization under load
Answer: C,D
NEW QUESTION # 62
An administrator has noticed an increasing number of inactive VMS being left powered on within the environment over the course of OS migrations, using Playbooks, which two Actions should the administrator use to start documenting which VMS are marked as inactive to take future Automated actions on? (Choose two.)
- A. Send an Email with the Source Entity Name Parameter in the body.
- B. Trigger Playbook on Powered Off VM for all applicable VMS.
- C. Trigger Playbook on Alert with the Inactive VM Alert Policy.
- D. Assign the VMS to an Inactive:VM Category as an Action.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
The administrator should assign the VMs to an Inactive:VM category as an action and trigger a playbook on alert with the Inactive VM alert policy. By doing this, they can create a custom category to group and identify the inactive VMs and use a custom alert policy to trigger a playbook that can perform automated actions on them, such as powering them off, deleting them, or sending notifications. This is based on the general practices in managing VMs in a multicloud environment, as well as the specific features and requirements of Nutanix X-Play and Nutanix Calm. References:

NEW QUESTION # 64
An administrator needs to deploy blueprints to Calm SaaS and begin executing them, Before the administrator can execute a blueprint, what must be configured in the environment where the blueprint will be deployed?
- A. vpc
- B. Site-to-Site VPN Tunnel
- C. VPN Client
- D. Tunnel Entity
Answer: B
Explanation:
To deploy blueprints to Calm SaaS and execute them, the administrator must first configure a site-to-site VPN tunnel and a tunnel entity in the environment where the blueprint will be deployed. A site-to-site VPN tunnel is a secure connection between two networks over the internet that allows Calm SaaS to communicate with the on-premises or cloud environment. A tunnel entity is a logical representation of the VPN tunnel in Calm SaaS that contains the tunnel configuration and credentials. The administrator must also register the environment and the provider accounts in Calm SaaS before deploying the blueprints.

NEW QUESTION # 65
An administrator creates a blueprint to deploy VMs to multiple clouds, so that business will remain functional in the event of a disaster.
What component describes this feature?
- A. Substrates
- B. Package
- C. Profile Actions
- D. Service
Answer: A
Explanation:
Substrates are the components of a blueprint that define the cloud resources and configurations for deploying VMs or applications. Substrates can be associated with different cloud accounts, such as AWS, Azure, GCP, or Nutanix, to enable multicloud deployments. By using substrates, an administrator can create a blueprint that can deploy VMs to multiple clouds, depending on the availability, cost, or performance requirements.

2.1: Create a blueprint to deploy infrastructure and applications using Nutanix Calm2
NEW QUESTION # 66
A blueprint was developed for deploying a standard 3-tier hosting environment for a company's applications.
The blueprint includes a load balancer, multiple web servers, a database server, and a small test application.
During testing of the blueprint, the application fails to connect to the database. The cause is found to be the database software is still installing when the application starts.
Which method most efficiently prevents the application from starting before the database?
- A. Create a loop to retry connection
- B. Create a service dependency
- C. Use a sleep statement in a start script
- D. Use a local install instead of downloading
Answer: B
Explanation:
A service dependency is a feature of Nutanix Calm that allows you to define the order of execution and the conditions for starting and stopping services in a blueprint. By creating a service dependency between the application and the database, you can ensure that the application will not start until the database is fully installed and ready. This avoids the need for manual intervention or inefficient workarounds like loops or sleep statements.

Which two features does the Calm Marketplace provide? (Choose two.)
- A. Store of all Blueprints created in Calm
- B. Published and versioned Blueprints
- C. Library of executable tasks
- D. Set of pre-seeded application Blueprints
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
The Calm Marketplace acts as an application store, providing end users with a catalog of available applications. By default, Calm comes pre-seeded with validated Blueprints for multiple open source and enterprise applications. These are the set of pre-seeded application Blueprints. Additionally, Marketplace Manager acts as a staging area for publishing default and user-created Blueprints to your local Marketplace.
These are the published and versioned Blueprints. The other two options, library of executable tasks and store of all Blueprints created in Calm, are not features of the Calm Marketplace. References: Calm: Marketplace - Read the Docs and Calm: Marketplace - Read the Docs

NEW QUESTION # 70
An administrator is configuring Playbooks and is concerned about adding or reducing CPU and memory resources to VMs.
Which two prerequisites should an administrator take into consideration when configuring the Playbooks?
(Choose two.)
- A. CPU can be added to a powered on VM if the guest OS supports it
- B. VM must be powered off to add CPU
- C. Memory can be removed from a powered on VM if the guest OS supports it
- D. VM must be powered off to reduce memory
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
When configuring Playbooks to automate the scaling of CPU and memory resources for VMs, the administrator should consider the following prerequisites:
* CPU can be added to a powered on VM if the guest OS supports it. This is also known as hot-plug CPU.
The administrator should check the compatibility of the guest OS and the hypervisor before enabling this feature. For example, Windows Server 2019 supports hot-plug CPU on AHV, ESXi, and Hyper-V, but not on XenServer1.
* Memory can be removed from a powered on VM if the guest OS supports it. This is also known as hot-unplug memory. The administrator should check the compatibility of the guest OS and the hypervisor before enabling this feature. For example, Linux supports hot-unplug memory on AHV, ESXi, and XenServer, but not on Hyper-V2.
* VM must be powered off to add CPU if the guest OS does not support hot-plug CPU. This is also known as cold-plug CPU. The administrator should plan for the downtime required to power off and power on the VM after adding CPU.
* VM must be powered off to reduce memory if the guest OS does not support hot-unplug memory. This is also known as cold-unplug memory. The administrator should plan for the downtime required to power off and power on the VM after reducing memory.

NEW QUESTION # 72
A company wants to ensure that all developers are able to request new development environments on demand by using ServiceNow.
The administrator notices that even though developers create new environments, they rarely remove these environments when moving on to new assignments. Today, the administrator has gone into Prism Central to check when the VM was created, in order to reach out to the developer and ask if it can be deleted. The administrator has accidentally deleted the wrong VM in the past.
Which two methods can the administrator use to automate this task to avoid deleting the incorrect VMs? (Choose two.)
- A. Create a playbook webhook action to delete the VM from a ServiceNow approval flow.
- B. Create a playbook REST API trigger to delete the VM from a ServiceNow approval flow.
- C. Create a playbook webhook trigger to delete the VM from a ServiceNow approval flow.
- D. Create a playbook REST API action to delete the VM from a ServiceNow approval flow.
Answer: C,D
NEW QUESTION # 73

NEW QUESTION # 74
An administrator has been tasked in auditing the company's Configuration Management Database (CMDB) and notices that there are several entries for VMS that were previously decommissioned.
Current VM Decommission Process:
Application owners delete the application from the Calm project.
Application owners submit a ticket to IT for:
Removal of the Domain object
DNS record removal
CMDB entry removal
What Blueprint activity should be used to automate the manual steps listed above?
Creation of Calm Tasks for each of the three steps added to Library and consumed inside of a post VM Delete Task.
- A. Creation of Calm Runbooks for each of the three Steps to the Library and consumed inside of a post VM Task.
- B. Creation of Calm Runbooks for each of the three steps added as Post VM Delete Task.
- C. Creation of Calm Endpoint that includes all steps added 35 a Post VM Delete Task
- D. Creation of Calm Runbooks for each of the three steps &added to the library end consumed inside of Post VM Delete Task.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Calm Runbooks are a way to automate workflows that span across multiple applications, services, or platforms. They can be used to perform actions such as provisioning, scaling, backup, restore, etc. Calm Runbooks can be added to the Library and reused in different Blueprints or Projects. A Post VM Delete Task is a special type of Task that is executed after a VM is deleted from a Blueprint. By creating Calm Runbooks for each of the manual steps required to decommission a VM, and adding them to the Library, the administrator can simplify the VM Decommission Process by consuming them inside of a Post VM Delete Task. This way, the application owners only need to delete the application from the Calm project, and the rest of the steps will be automated by the Runbooks. References:

NEW QUESTION # 75
An administrator wants to create a blueprint for a development environment that uses an existing on-premise GitLab repository. Every new development environment requires a new user in the GitLab repo.
Which two tasks should the administrator perform within a Calm blueprint to automate this process? (Choose two.)
- A. Create an HTTP pre-create task to create the user in GitLab via REST API.
- B. Add a task within the service in order to ask for user and password at runtime.
- C. Create runtime-editable variables for user and password in the blueprint.
- D. Create a task script in order to login with ssh to GitLab and create a random user and password.
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
To automate the creation of a new user in GitLab for every new development environment, the administrator should perform the following tasks within a Calm blueprint:
* Create an HTTP pre-create task to create the user in GitLab via REST API. This task will send an HTTP request to the GitLab server with the user information and credentials, and receive a response with the user ID and status. The administrator can use the response to verify the user creation and store the user ID as a variable for later use.
* Create runtime-editable variables for user and password in the blueprint. These variables will allow the administrator to specify the user name and password for the new GitLab user at the time of launching the blueprint. The variables can be passed as parameters to the HTTP pre-create task and used in the REST API call.
* The other two options are not correct because:
* Adding a task within the service to ask for user and password at runtime is redundant and unnecessary, as the runtime-editable variables can already provide this functionality.
* Creating a task script to login with ssh to GitLab and create a random user and password is not a good practice, as it exposes the GitLab server to security risks and does not use the REST API that GitLab provides for user management. References:
