Question #41

An Application team has provided an administrator the following high level requirements for infrastructure they require:

5 Application VMs

2 Database VMs

2 Web VMs

Which two pieces of information are needed, at a minimum, to effectively automate the scaling of the environment? (Choose two.)

A . SLA uptime of the application
B . Steady state resource utilization
C . Expected resource utilization under load
D . If the application needs to be highly available

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: B C
B C

Explanation:

To effectively automate the scaling of the environment, the administrator needs to know the steady state resource utilization and the expected resource utilization under load of the application, database, and web VMs. These two pieces of information will help the administrator to define the scaling policies, thresholds, and actions for the blueprint service that deploys the infrastructure. The administrator can use the Self-Service feature of Nutanix Multicloud Automation to create a blueprint service that can scale up or down based on the resource utilization metrics. The administrator can also use the Runbook feature to automate the scaling actions using scripts or APIs. The other options are incorrect because:

SLA uptime of the application: This is not a piece of information that is needed to automate the scaling of the environment. The SLA uptime of the application is a performance indicator that measures the availability and reliability of the application. The administrator can use the X-Play feature of Nutanix Multicloud Automation to create event-driven playbooks that can trigger actions based on alerts or schedules to ensure the SLA uptime of the application.

If the application needs to be highly available: This is not a piece of information that is needed to automate the scaling of the environment. The high availability of the application is a design consideration that affects the architecture and configuration of the infrastructure and the application. The administrator can use the Projects feature of Nutanix Multicloud Automation to create projects that can define the availability domains, networks, and storage for the infrastructure and the application.
