EMC Proven Professional – Cloud Architect — Question 16

An IT department wants to reduce waste by shutting down and archiving auto-scaling groups (ASGs) and VMs that have been inactive for more than two weeks.
Archived ASGs and VMs will consume tenant quota for the responsible parties. The IT department wants email notifications to be sent to the tenant and the line of business controller automatically when this happens.
How might you define the configuration for such a solution?

Answer options

• A. Monitoring triggers for low activity Orchestration activities for inactivity backup Backup target as tenant's object store Monitoring alerts for inactivity backup
• B. Metering triggers for low activity Orchestration activities for inactivity backup Backup target as tenant's object store Metering alerts for inactivity backup
• C. Metering triggers for low activity Catalog activities for inactivity backup Backup target as tenant's object store Metering alerts for inactivity backup
• D. Monitoring triggers for low activity Catalog activities for inactivity backup Backup target as tenant's object store Monitoring alerts for inactivity backup

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because it specifies using metering triggers and catalog activities, which are essential for tracking inactivity and managing backups. The other options either use orchestration activities, which are not suitable for this scenario, or monitoring alerts instead of metering alerts, which do not provide the necessary tracking for tenant quotas.
