Question#1

Where would a Self-Service (formerly Calm) developer find detailed and downloadable logs for analyzing a Blueprint deployment failure?

A. In the Runbooks Execution History tab
B. In the specific Application Audit tab
C. In the Project Overview dashboard
D. In the specific Service in the Blueprint Editor

Explanation:
A Self-Service (formerly Calm) developer can find detailed and downloadable logs for analyzing a Blueprint deployment failure in the specific Application Audit tab. This tab provides insights and logs related to the deployment, helping to diagnose and resolve issues.
Reference: Nutanix Calm documentation on Application Audit.

Question#2

An administrator manages two Nutanix clusters: Cluster01 and Cluster02 and has needs to automate similar workload types using these images that are located on Cluster01:
ImageA
ImageB
ImageC
The administrator needs to deploy ImageA and ImageC within the Cluster02 environment.
How this can be achieved?

A. Configure a Protection Domain to replicate images.
B. Clone the images from the Cluster01 to Cluster02.
C. All images are available to all clusters managed by a single Prism Central.
D. Utilize Prism Central image placement policies.

Explanation:
Protection Domains are a Nutanix feature that allows you to replicate data across clusters or to a remote site. You can use Protection Domains to replicate images from one cluster to another, and then use them for workload automation. This is one of the methods documented in the Nutanix Solutions Portal for Citrix MCS on Nutanix AHV1. Alternatively, you can also use Prism Central to manage multiple clusters and use Protection Policies to replicate images across clusters2. However, this option is not listed in the question, so the best answer is A.

Question#3

What are the two types of Blueprints?

A. PaaS VM and SaaS VM
B. Single VM and Multi VM
C. Containerized VM and serverless VM
D. Cloud Native VM and OnPrem VM

Explanation:
In Nutanix Calm, there are two types of blueprints: Single VM and Multi VM. Single VM blueprints are used to define and manage the deployment of individual virtual machines, while Multi VM blueprints are used to manage the deployment of applications that span multiple VMs with defined dependencies and configurations.

Question#4

An administrator manages a Nutanix cluster with 630 VMs, all of which are in production.
The Accounting department wants to be notified when any of their production VMs exceed 90% CPU usage or 90% memory usage. Their VMs are categorized as LOB: Accounting.
How should the administrator satisfy this request from the Accounting department?

A. Direct the VM users to generate alerts within the affected VMs.
B. Create a dashboard in Prism Central with the CPU Usage.
C. Create a category named Department with the value Accounting.
D. Create an Alert with the Accounting category assigned.

Explanation:
Alerts are a way of monitoring the health and performance of the Nutanix cluster and the VMs running on it. Alerts can be triggered by various metrics, such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk space, network traffic, etc. Alerts can also be configured to send notifications to the administrator or other recipients via email, Slack, PagerDuty, etc. To satisfy the request from the Accounting department, the administrator should create an Alert with the following settings: Trigger: CPU Usage (%) > 90 OR Memory Usage (%) > 90
Scope: VM
Category: LOB: Accounting
Notification: Email to accounting@company.com This way, the Alert will only apply to the VMs that belong to the Accounting department, and will send an email notification to the Accounting department when any of their VMs exceed the specified thresholds.

Question#5

Within a Calm blueprint, which two actions can an administrator apply to a Service under the Guest Customization section? (Choose two.)

A. Apply a Cloudinit Script
B. Apply a Sysprep file
C. Modify the base OS image
D. Choose UEFI or Legacy BIOS

Explanation:
Within a Calm blueprint, an administrator can apply two actions to a Service under the Guest Customization section: Apply a Cloudinit Script and Apply a Sysprep file. These actions allow the administrator to customize the configuration and behavior of the virtual machines that are provisioned from the blueprint. A Cloudinit Script is a set of commands or scripts that run on Linux-based virtual machines during the boot process. A Sysprep file is a configuration file that specifies the Windows settings and options for the virtual machines. These actions can be used to perform tasks such as setting the hostname, network configuration, user accounts, software installation, and more.
