Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) — Question 9

An administrator has an existing set of VMs that were deployed before the company started using Calm. The administrator would like to now use Calm to manage those existing VMs.
What should the administrator do to manage the existing VMs?

Answer options

• A. Create a Greenfield Application, select the snapshots of the VMs to manage and redeploy the VMs from the latest snapshot.
• B. Create a Brownfield Application, select the VMs that are needed for each deployment from the drop down list.
• C. Create a Greenfield Application, select the VMs that are needed for each deployment from the drop down list.
• D. Create a Brownfield Application, select the snapshots of the VMs to manage and redeploy the VMs from the latest snapshot.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it allows the administrator to manage existing VMs by creating a Brownfield Application, which is specifically designed for integrating pre-existing resources. The other options either suggest using a Greenfield Application, which is not appropriate for existing VMs, or incorrectly handle snapshots for deployment.
