Exam NCP-MCI v6.5 topic 1 question 54 discussion

The correct answer is A. CloudInit. Explanation: CloudInit is the standard tool used in Linux distributions to handle early initialization tasks in cloud environments. It allows the automation of tasks such as setting the hostname, creating users, configuring SSH keys, and running custom scripts at the time of VM deployment. This is commonly used in environments where VM customization is required on boot, making it ideal for automation in cloud deployments. Other options: NGT (Nutanix Guest Tools): Primarily used for Nutanix-specific integrations, but it doesn’t provide general OS customization at boot. Sysprep: This is primarily a Windows tool used to prepare Windows images for deployment. Kickstart: Used for automated installations of Red Hat-based Linux distributions, but it is more of an installation tool rather than a post-deployment configuration tool like CloudInit.
