What is the correct sequence of tasks to be completed for configuring NetScaler using the Heat stack?

Answer options

• A. 1. Install NetScaler Bundle for OpenStack 2. Deploy the Heat stack 3. Register OpenStack with NMAS 4. Add NetScaler instances (Optional) 5. Prepare the HOT by using the NetScaler heat resources and NetScaler Network Resource 6. Create service packages (Add OpenStack tenants)
• B. 1. Install NetScaler Bundle for OpenStack 2. Register OpenStack with NMAS 3. Add NetScaler instances (Optional) 4. Create service packages (Add OpenStack tenants) 5. Prepare the HOT by using the NetScaler heat resources and NetScaler Network Resource 6. Deploy the Heat stack
• C. 1. Install NetScaler Bundle for OpenStack 2. Add NetScaler instances (Optional) 3. Create service packages (Add OpenStack tenants) 4. Prepare the HOT by using the NetScaler heat resources and NetScaler Network Resource 5. Register OpenStack with NMAS 6. Deploy the Heat stack
• D. 1. Install NetScaler Bundle for OpenStack 2. Prepare the HOT by using the NetScaler heat resources and NetScaler Network Resource 3. Register OpenStack with NMAS 4. Deploy the Heat stack 5. Add NetScaler instances (Optional) 6. Create service packages (Add OpenStack tenants)

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct sequence starts with installing the NetScaler Bundle for OpenStack and then preparing the HOT, which is essential before registering OpenStack with NMAS. Options A, B, and C incorrectly place the deployment of the Heat stack or the registration of OpenStack out of the necessary sequence, which would lead to configuration issues.
