An administrator has been tasked with creating a multicloud, three-tier application using Calm.
The application needs to consist of:
A MongoDB backend database
A NodeJS Javascript runtime environment
An NGINX webserver
The administrator has access to an AWS account, as well as a locally hosted Nutanix cluster. The three parts of the application should be fully redundant, and be able to tolerate either a cloud provider outage, or a local Nutanix cluster outage.
What is the most appropriate solution the administrator should choose in order to meet the requirements?
- A . Create a Calm blueprint with MongoDB, Node/S, and NGINX VMs running on Nutanix, as well as an NGINX server running in AWS on US-WEST-1 and US-EAST-1.
- B . Create a Calm blueprint with MongoDB, Node/S and NGINX VMs running on Nutanix, and a separate blueprint for MongoDB, NodeJS, and NGINX running in AWS on US-WEST-1 and US-EAST-1.
- C . Create a Calm blueprint with MongoDB, NodelS, and NGINX VMs running on Nutanix, as well as MongoDB, NodeJS, and NGINX servers running in AWS on US-WEST-1 and US-EAST-1.
- D . Create a Calm blueprint with MongoDB, NodelS, and NGINX VMs running on Nutanix, then manually create three EC2 instances for MongoDB, NodeJS and NGINX in AWS running on US-WEST-1 and
US-EAST-1.
Which permission level grants access to Create, Update, Delete, and Duplicate Blueprints?
- A . Consumer
- B . Operator
- C . Developer
- D . Domain Admin
