D.
Create a task script in order to login with ssh to GitLab and create a random user and password.
Answers
Suggested answer: A, B

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.Reference:

D.
Nutanix provides documented processes to seed scripts from any source repository.
Answers
Suggested answer: A, C

Explanation:

Nutanix provides a documented process to seed Github based scripts into the Calm Task Library, which allows users to import and use custom tasks from the Nutanix public Github repository or any other Github repository. This process is described in theNutanix Calm DSL User Guideand theNutanix Calm DSL Tutorial.

Nutanix also publishes official vetted blueprints and tasks to Nutanix's public Github Calm repository, which is located athttps://github.com/nutanix/blueprints. These blueprints and tasks are created and maintained by Nutanix engineers and can be used as reference or templates for building Calm applications. Some examples of these blueprints and tasks are:

Kubernetes Cluster: A blueprint that deploys a Kubernetes cluster on Nutanix AHV using Calm.

MySQL HA: A blueprint that deploys a MySQL cluster with high availability on Nutanix AHV using Calm.

Windows Server: A blueprint that deploys a Windows Server 2019 VM on Nutanix AHV using Calm.

[Install Python]: A task that installs Python on a Linux VM using Calm.

Calm's public repository does not contain Nutanix-vetted custom scripts created and published by community members. These scripts are hosted in a separate repository called [Automation], which is a centralized repo for community driven Nutanix automation. These scripts are not officially supported or endorsed by Nutanix and may not be compatible with the latest versions of Calm or Nutanix products.

Nutanix does not provide documented processes to seed scripts from any source repository. Users can only import scripts from Github repositories using the Calm Task Library. Other source repositories are not supported by Calm.

Answers
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

A Brownfield Application is a type of application that allows you to import and manage existing VMs that were not deployed by Calm. You can use a Brownfield Application to perform actions such as start, stop, restart, delete, or execute scripts on the imported VMs. You can also add services, credentials, variables, and policies to the Brownfield Application blueprint. To create a Brownfield Application, you need to select a multi-VM blueprint and then choose the VMs that you want to include in the application from the drop down list. You can also filter the VMs by name, cluster, or power state.

A Greenfield Application is a type of application that allows you to deploy new VMs from scratch using Calm. You can use a Greenfield Application to provision and configure VMs on different cloud platforms, such as Nutanix AHV, VMware ESXi, AWS, Azure, or GCP. You can also add services, credentials, variables, and policies to the Greenfield Application blueprint. To create a Greenfield Application, you need to select a single-VM or a multi-VM blueprint and then specify the VM properties, such as name, image, flavor, network, storage, etc.

Explanation:

According to the Nutanix Multicloud Automation Administration (NMCAA) course, the recommended Prism Central VM size depends on the number of VMs that are managed by Calm and the number of concurrent users.For a large-scale environment with more than 5000 VMs and more than 100 concurrent users, the recommended size is 3 nodes Large - 10vCPU and 52GB Memory per node1. This size provides enough resources for the Prism Central cluster to handle the workload and performance requirements of Calm.

Explanation:

A Playbook is a set of actions that are triggered by an event or a schedule. To run a Playbook, it must be enabled first. If a Playbook is not enabled, it will not respond to any events or schedules, and no Plays will be recorded for it. Therefore, the most likely cause of the issue is that the administrator forgot to enable the Playbook after building it.Reference:Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) Exam Blueprint Guide, page 13, section 3.2.Nutanix Multicloud Automation Administration (NMCAA) course, module 4, lesson 2.

Answers
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

Scaling VM replica settings allow you to specify the minimum, maximum, and default number of VMs that can be created from a blueprint service. The minimum and default values must be equal to or greater than the number of VMs needed at any time and at time of deployment, which is 2 in this case. The maximum value must be equal to or less than the project quota divided by the VM resources, which is 100/12 = 8 for vCPUs and 300/24 = 12 for memory. The lowest of these two values is the limit for the maximum value, which is 8. Therefore, the only option that meets all the requirements is B. MIN: 2, MAX: 7, Default: 2.

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 REST API action to delete the VM from a ServiceNow approval flow.

Answers
Suggested answer: A, B

Explanation:

A playbook REST API action allows the administrator to send an HTTP request to a specified endpoint, such as the Prism Central API, to perform an operation, such as deleting a VM. A playbook webhook action allows the administrator to send a payload to a specified URL, such as a ServiceNow webhook, to trigger an event, such as an approval flow. Both of these actions can be used to automate the deletion of VMs from a ServiceNow approval flow, where the developers can request and confirm the removal of their environments. A playbook webhook trigger and a playbook REST API trigger are not valid options, as they are used to initiate a playbook based on an external event, not to perform an action within a playbook.Reference:Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) 6.5 Exam Blueprint Guide, page 10;Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA), section 4;NCP-MCA Exam Dumps - Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud ..., question 70.
