Which feature must an administrator enable to manage their applications from Prism Central?

1. Application Templates

2. Self-Service Portal

3. Resource Allocation Settings

4. Health Monitoring Alerts

The correct answer is: Self-Service Portal

To manage applications from Prism Central, enabling the Self-Service Portal is essential. The Self-Service Portal provides a user-friendly interface that allows administrators and users to interact with applications deployed on the Nutanix platform. It serves as a central point for deploying and managing applications, where users can request and manage resources based on predefined policies set by the administrators. The Self-Service Portal supports the creation of application catalogs that make it easier for users to deploy applications without needing deep technical knowledge. Once this feature is enabled, administrators can oversee application lifecycles, resource management, and user access, streamlining the process of application deployment and management across the infrastructure. The other options, while valuable in their own right, do not directly facilitate application management from Prism Central. Application Templates are used to define how applications will be deployed but do not offer the management interface required. Resource Allocation Settings focus on the resources assigned to virtual machines but do not provide a broader application management capability. Health Monitoring Alerts are crucial for the infrastructure's operational health but do not pertain specifically to application management within Prism Central. Thus, the Self-Service Portal is vital for the overall management and deployment of applications.
