Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) — Question 31

A developer updated a blueprint to ensure that the IP address of the VM is reserved in IPAM as part of the deployment process. The developer noticed that when new VMs are created, they still get a DHCP IP address and not a reserved IP address.
What is the most likely reason for this behavior?

Answer options

• A. Developer created a pre-create task for reserving the IP address
• B. Developer created a post-create task for reserving the IP address
• C. Developer forgot to save the updated blueprint
• D. Developer forgot to publish the updated blueprint

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a post-create task would execute after the VM is created, allowing for the reservation of the IP address. If the task were pre-create, it would not be effective since the VM would already be using DHCP. Saving the blueprint is important, but without publishing it, the changes won't take effect, making D also a potential issue.
