Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Before a Single-VM Blueprint in Self-Service (formerly Calm) can be published to the Marketplace, it is necessary to create both a project and an environment. A project defines the scope and access control for the blueprint, while the environment provides the necessary configurations and settings for the deployment, such as network, credentials, and other resources.

I bet the VMs are so eager to shut down, they're already half-asleep by the time the Playbook arrives. Option B is the winner!

The missing Nutanix Guest Tools could be the culprit. Option C seems plausible.

We should make sure the VMs have the necessary tools installed before running the Playbook.

Hmm, could it be that the user executing the Playbook doesn't have the necessary admin privileges? Option A is worth considering.
