Playbooks are a collection of tasks that can be executed on demand or based on a trigger. There are two types of triggers available for executing Playbooks: manual and alert. A manual trigger allows you to run a Playbook on demand from the Prism Central UI or the Calm API. An alert trigger allows you to run a Playbook automatically when a specific alert is generated by Prism Central or a third-party system. Report and audit are not valid trigger types for Playbooks.Reference:Nutanix Multicloud Automation Administration (NMCAA), page 9;Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA), section 1.

To create a custom alert policy, the administrator needs to specify the entity type, the impact, the severity, the condition, and the notification method. In this case, the entity type is VM, the impact is performance, the severity is warning, the condition is CPU usage > 70%, and the notification method is email. Additionally, the administrator can use categories to filter the entities that are affected by the alert policy. By selecting the category Env:Production, the administrator can limit the alert policy to only apply to the production VMs.

An X-Play Trigger is a condition that initiates a Playbook.There are four types of X-Play Triggers: Alert, Audit, Event, and Time1. An Alert Trigger is based on a Prism alert, such as a VM power state change or a disk failure. An Audit Trigger is based on a Prism audit entry, such as a user login or a cluster operation. An Event Trigger is based on a Prism event, such as a VM creation or deletion.A Time Trigger is based on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or monthly2. In this scenario, the administrator needs to create a Playbook to be notified when VMs are deleted.Therefore, the appropriate X-Play Trigger would be an Event Trigger, since VM deletion is a Prism event.Reference:1: Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) Exam Blueprint Guide, page 42: Getting Started with Nutanix X-Play -- Nutanix.dev

When a Blueprint is launched via Marketplace, it uses the credential that is configured in the Project Environment. If the credential is invalid, the Blueprint deployment will fail with a check login error. To fix this issue, the developer needs to verify and update the credential in the Project Environment and ensure that it has the required permissions to access the target infrastructure and applications.Reference:Nutanix Multicloud Automation Administration (NMCAA), page 29-30; [Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) Exam Blueprint Guide] (https://www.nutanix.com/content/dam/nutanix/resources/support/ncp-mca-ebg.pdf), section 3.1.

A macro is a placeholder for a value that is resolved at runtime. Macros can be used to reference various Calm objects, such as variables, secrets, credentials, tasks, and services. The correct syntax for using a macro within a Calm blueprint is @@{calm.object}(@@, where calm.object is the name of the object to be referenced. For example, @@{username}(@@ would resolve to the value of the username variable at runtime. The other options are incorrect syntaxes for macros and would not be resolved by Calm.Reference:Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) v6.5,Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) 6 Exam,Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation

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.Reference:

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.Reference:Nutanix Multicloud Automation Administration (NMCAA) course,Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) 6.5 Exam Guide, [Nutanix Calm User Guide]

According to the Nutanix Multicloud Automation Administration (NMCAA) course1, one of the prerequisites for using X-Play to automate tasks on VMs is to have SSH enabled and configured on the target VMs. This allows X-Play to connect to the VMs and execute commands or scripts remotely. If the SSH service is not running on the VMs, then X-Play will fail to connect and perform the actions, resulting in the error message shown in the exhibit. The other options are not likely to cause this error, as they are either unrelated to X-Play (A and B) or not required for X-Play to work .Reference:Nutanix Multicloud Automation Administration (NMCAA) course
