An administrator is manually performing the following post-deployment steps each time a VM is provisioned...

To automate post-deployment configuration within Nutanix Self-Service (Calm), the administrator must defineTaskswithin the Service lifecycle of the Blueprint.

Service Lifecycle:Every Service (VM) in a blueprint has lifecycle actions, such as Create, Start, Stop, and Delete.

Automation Implementation:The administrator should add specific tasks (e.g., HTTP tasks for API calls to monitoring, Scripts for tagging/email) specifically to theCreateaction (or Package Install phase) of the Service.

Execution:When the blueprint is launched, the Orchestrator provisions the VM (Substrate) and then automatically executes these defined tasks in sequence. This ensures that tagging, monitoring, and notification happen immediately and consistently for every deployment without manual intervention.
