When creating an image placement policy for VM images available only on one cluster, which two settings are necessary?

  1. Set the policy enforcement to Hard.

  2. Set the policy enforcement to Soft.

  3. Create an image placement policy that identifies cluster Corp-cluster-01 as the target cluster.

  4. Create an image placement policy that identifies cluster Corp-cluster-02 as the target cluster.

The correct answer is: Set the policy enforcement to Hard.

To ensure that VM images are available exclusively on one specific cluster, it is essential to set the policy enforcement to Hard. This setting enforces strict compliance with the placement policy, ensuring that the designated VM images can only be located on the specified cluster, effectively preventing any instances of those images from being deployed or created on other clusters. A hard enforcement guarantees that no exceptions can be made, aligning with the requirement for exclusive image availability on a single cluster. In addition to the enforcement setting, it’s crucial to create an image placement policy that identifies the correct target cluster. By specifying the appropriate cluster (in this case, Corp-cluster-01), the policy will direct system operations to handle the images only within that cluster, ensuring the necessary isolation and management capabilities for the VM images. Overall, the combination of a hard enforcement setting and the correct target cluster designation is vital for the intended management and placement of VM images within a Nutanix environment.
