Refer to the exhibit.
An administrator created the Playbook shown in the exhibit to allow for manual reduction of vCPU count on any selected VM within their environment. During a test run of the play on one of the VMs running in development, the administrator ran into an error that the Playbook cannot be completed against the selected VM.
Here are the details of the affected VM:
VM Name: VM2
vCPU: 4
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 2016
Hypervisor: AHV
What caused this Playbook to fail?
- A . This play cannot be executed against a VM on AHV.
- B . The VM needs to be powered off before vCPU can be reduced.
- C . Reduction of vCPU cannot be done on a VM with a running snapshot.
- D . The play will cause the VM to go below the minimum vCPU.
An administrator would like to be notified each time a subset of VMS within the Environment: Dev category is restored from snapshot.
Which trigger should the administrator use to satisfy this requirement?
- A . Event, where event type is Restored VM from Snapshot and Target VM is the specific VMS.
- B . Event, where the event is Snapshot Restoration, and the Target VM is VMS in Environment: Dev
- C . Alerts Matching Criteria. where alert type is Snapshot Restoration, and the criteria is the VM names.
- D . Alert. where alert type is Restored VM from Snapshot and target VM Category is Environment: Dev

What should the administrator use when creating a playbook to automate this?
- A . A trigger based on a REST API
- B . A trigger based on an email
- C . A trigger based on an event
- D . A trigger based on an alert

- C . Deployed as a VM on Hyper-V
- D . Deployed as a VM on AHV
A developer updated a blueprint to ensure that the IP address of the VM is reserved in IPAM as part of the deployment process. The developer noticed that when new VMs are created, they still get a DHCP IP address and not a reserved IP address.
What is the most likely reason for this behavior?
- A . Developer created a pre-create task for reserving the IP address
- B . Developer created a post-create task for reserving the IP address
- C . Developer forgot to save the updated blueprint
