The municipal utility-billing team needs many identical guests from a gold image. Which vSphere feature lets operators clone that standard virtual machine quickly?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Templates and clones are the billing office's photocopier for VMs. Copy the gold guest, customize, and power on. Copying an NSX segment only copies a network; it does not stamp out a new guest.
Full Explanation
vSphere templates and cloning provision new virtual machines from a standardized image, which is the compute-side rapid-provisioning feature. An NSX segment clone would duplicate a logical network, not a guest. NSX configuration drafts save networking and security intent. vSphere HA restarts existing VMs after host failure; it does not stamp out a fleet from a gold image.
