Question 5

An administrator has a Linux VM that does batch processing out of a queue. Currently, a technician
connects to the VM console and runs a command on the VM to initiate or terminate the batch
processing application, as there is no programmatic interface for the application.
The application is processor intensive, so it should only run outside of business hours. The VM has
the ability to send REST API calls to Prism.
How should the administrator configure a Playbook to satisfy the needs of this process with minimal
external interaction?

  • A. Manual Trigger > Power On > VM SSH > Wait for Some Time > Power Off VM
  • B. Time Trigger > VM SSH > Wait for Some Time > VM SSH
  • C. Webhook Trigger > REST API > Wait for Some Time > REST API
  • D. Manual Trigger > VM SSH > Wait for Some Time > VM SSH
