Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Infrastructure v6.5 (NCP-MCI) — Question 31

An administrator needs to create a new Linux image and will need to do the following as part of the VM deployment:

Set the OS hostname -

Add custom users -

Add keys -

Run custom scripts -
What package needs to be installed in the Linux image to facilitate this automation?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

CloudInit is specifically designed to handle the initialization of cloud instances, allowing for hostname configuration, user creation, key addition, and script execution. The other options, such as NGT and Sysprep, are not applicable for Linux automation, while Kickstart is used for automated installations but does not provide the same level of post-deployment customization as CloudInit.
