Exam NCA topic 1 question 7 discussion

Correct Answer: B In Prism Central, Image Placement Policies can be used to map images to target clusters using categories. An Image Placement Policy is a set of rules that determine where an image should be placed on the Nutanix cluster. These rules are based on categories, such as the image's OS type, the target cluster's hardware type, and other factors. By creating image placement policies, you can ensure that images are placed on the appropriate clusters, and that they are compatible with the hardware and software requirements of those clusters.

Prism Central enables you to configure policies that govern which clusters receive the images that you upload. These policies, called image placement policies, map images to target clusters through the use of categories associated with both those entities. For example, an image placement policy might state that Linux images associated with the categories OS:Linux and distribution:Centos must be uploaded to clusters associated with the category location:SFO. Image placement policies also specify how strictly the policy must be enforced. Soft enforcement allows clusters not identified by the policy to use the images, when required, by checking them out. Hard enforcement disallows such usage. By using both soft and hard enforcement on the same category of clusters, you can address more specific use cases.
