Explanation:
An event trigger is a type of trigger that can be used to execute a playbook when a specific event occurs in the Nutanix platform. An event trigger can be configured with various parameters, such as the event type, the target VM, the target VM category, the target project, and the target user. In this scenario, the administrator wants to be notified when a subset of VMs within the Environment:Dev category is restored from snapshot.
Therefore, the event trigger should have the following parameters:
* Event type: Snapshot Restoration. This is the event that indicates a VM has been restored from a snapshot.
* Target VM: VMS in Environment: Dev. This is the filter that specifies which VMs are relevant for the trigger. By selecting VMS in Environment: Dev, the trigger will only apply to the VMs that belong to the Environment:Dev category.
* Other parameters: These can be left as default or customized as needed.

NEW QUESTION # 84
An Application team has provided an administrator the following high level requirements for infrastructure they require:
5 Application VMs
2 Database VMs
2 Web VMs
Which two pieces of information are needed, at a minimum, to effectively automate the scaling of the environment? (Choose two.)
- A. If the application needs to be highly available
- B. Steady state resource utilization
- C. Expected resource utilization under load
- D. SLA uptime of the application
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
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.
The other options are incorrect because:
* SLA uptime of the application: This is not a piece of information that is needed to automate the scaling of the environment. The SLA uptime of the application is a performance indicator that measures the availability and reliability of the application. The administrator can use the X-Play feature of Nutanix Multicloud Automation to create event-driven playbooks that can trigger actions based on alerts or schedules to ensure the SLA uptime of the application.
* If the application needs to be highly available: This is not a piece of information that is needed to automate the scaling of the environment. The high availability of the application is a design consideration that affects the architecture and configuration of the infrastructure and the application. The administrator can use the Projects feature of Nutanix Multicloud Automation to create projects that can define the availability domains, networks, and storage for the infrastructure and the application.

NEW QUESTION # 86
An administrator needs to notify the on-call pager after hours using their PagerDuty incident management platform.
How should the administrator integrate notifications via PagerDuty in a Playbook using the least number of configurations possible?
- A. Send Alert to Webhook which will use APIs to send notification to PagerDuty.
- B. Create an action to send an alert to PagerDuty'.
- C. Create an action to notify PagerDuty via IP address.
- D. Send Alert to Nutanix v3 API which will use APIs to send notification to PagerDuty.
Answer: A
Explanation:
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 optionswould 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.
