VMware NSX-T Data Center (VCP-NV 2020) — Question 86

An administrator for vRealize Automation configures the cloudConfig section of the machine definition in a blueprint. The templates to be used with the blueprint are properly configured to support cloud-init.
At which point in the provisioning process will the cloud-init code be executed?

Answer options

• A. Upon first boot and during any day 2 restart operation
• B. Upon first boot and any time the blueprint is updated and re-applied to existing deployments
• C. Upon first boot of the virtual machine only
• D. Upon first boot and again after a reboot which occurs during the initial provisioning of the virtual machine

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because cloud-init is designed to run only on the first boot of the virtual machine to configure it based on the provided settings. The other options incorrectly suggest that cloud-init runs during reboots or updates, which is not the case as it is intended for initial configuration only.
