  • BSteady state resource utilization
  • CExpected resource utilization under load
  • DIf the application needs to be highly available

Explanation

A time trigger is a type of playbook trigger that allows the user to specify a schedule for running a playbook. This trigger is useful for automating tasks that need to be performed periodically or at a specific time. A manual trigger requires the user to initiate the playbook execution manually, which is not ideal for a recurring task. A report trigger is a type of playbook trigger that allows the user to run a playbook when a specific report is generated. However, this trigger does not guarantee that the report will be generated on the first of every month, as it depends on the report settings. A wait until day of month action is a type of playbook action that pauses the playbook execution until a specified day of the month. This action is unnecessary if the playbook already has a time trigger that specifies the desired schedule. An Application team has provided an administrator the following high level requirements for infrastructure they require: - 5 Application VMs - 2 Database VMs Which two pieces of information are needed, at a minimum, to effectively automate the scaling of the environment? (Choose two.) To effectively automate the scaling of the environment, the administrator needs to know the steady state resource utilization and the expected resource utilization under load of the application, database, and web VMs. These two pieces of information will help the administrator to define the scaling policies, thresholds, and actions for the blueprint service that deploys the infrastructure. The administrator can use the Self-Service feature of Nutanix Multicloud Automation to create a blueprint service that can scale up or down based on the resource utilization metrics. The administrator can also use the Runbook feature to automate the scaling actions using scripts or APIs.
