QuestionQ32

Section 3 – Validate Blueprints, Runbooks, Playbooks, and Automation Settings

An administrator has been assigned to audit the company’s Configuration Management Database (CMDB) and finds several entries for VMs that were previously decommissioned.

Current VM decommission process:

Application owners delete the application from the Self-Service (formerly Calm) project.

Application owners submit a ticket to IT for:

  • Removal of the Domain object
  • DNS record removal
  • CMDB entry removal

Which Blueprint activity should be used to automate the manual steps listed above?

Explanation

Post VM delete tasks execute after a blueprint or application is deleted or terminated and are designed to clean up remaining resources, configurations, and dependencies. Nutanix Self-Service lets administrators publish tasks to the Task Library and select those library tasks while configuring a blueprint’s post-delete tasks, making separate reusable tasks appropriate for domain-object, DNS, and CMDB cleanup.
