To create and execute a scaling action using Calm, the administrator should create the action under the service profile section of the blueprint and the application profile section of the blueprint. The service profile section defines the properties and actions of each service in the blueprint, such as the VM configuration, the scripts to run, and the scaling parameters. The application profile section defines the properties and actions of the entire application, such as the number of instances, the dependencies, and the scaling triggers. The administrator can then execute the scaling action in the Overview tab or the Services tab of the application, depending on the scope of the scaling action.Reference:

To view the last two actions taken by a single VM blueprint, the administrator should go to theHistory Tab. This tab shows the history of all the actions performed on the blueprint, such as launch, update, delete, etc. The administrator can filter the history by date, action, status, and user. The history tab also provides details of each action, such as the start time, end time, duration, and logs.

The other three options are not correct because:

The AMIS tab shows the list of Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) that are available for the blueprint. The administrator can use this tab to select an AMI for the blueprint or create a custom AMI.

The service tab shows the list of services that are part of the blueprint. The administrator can use this tab to add, edit, or delete services, as well as configure the dependencies, tasks, and variables for each service.

The Metrics tab shows the performance metrics of the blueprint, such as CPU, memory, disk, and network usage. The administrator can use this tab to monitor the health and performance of the blueprint and its services.Reference:

The Send Alert to Webhook action allows the administrator to send an HTTP request to a specified URL, which can be used to trigger a PagerDuty incident via its REST API1. This action requires the least number of configurations compared to the other options, as it only needs the webhook URL, the HTTP method, and the payload. The other options would require additional steps, such as creating a custom action, configuring the IP address, or using the Nutanix v3 API, which is not designed for integrating with third-party services.

The error messages indicate that the blueprint is trying to use a Nutanix account that no longer exists. This could happen if the account was deleted by another administrator or by a playbook action. The administrator should check the project settings and verify that the Nutanix account is still available and associated with the project. If not, the administrator should create a new account or use an existing one and update the blueprint accordingly.Reference:Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) 6.5 Exam Blueprint Guide, page 9;Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA), section 3;Nutanix NCP-MCA Certification Exam Sample Questions, question 80.

According to the Nutanix Calm documentation1, to scale out an existing Calm environment, the administrator needs to back up the data and create three Calm VMs from the Calm VM OVA template. The administrator then needs to configure the Calm VMs as a cluster and restore the data from the backup. The other options are incorrect because they either do not use the correct image format, do not create a cluster of Calm VMs, or destroy the existing Calm VM.Reference:
