What is the prerequisite before a Single-VM Blueprint in Self-Service (formerly Calm) can be published to the Marketplace?
Answer : C
Before a Single-VM Blueprint in Self-Service (formerly Calm) can be published to the Marketplace, it is necessary to create both a project and an environment. A project defines the scope and access control for the blueprint, while the environment provides the necessary configurations and settings for the deployment, such as network, credentials, and other resources.

A developer Is building and testing a new Blueprint to deploy a Window Server VM on AHV. During one of the test runs, the application build fails.
The developer asks an administrator to investigate the failure. After careful review, the administrator finds this error message on a task that execute a Poweredshell script.
What is the cause of this error message?
Answer : B
The error message 'A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated' is often caused by the lack of CredSSP (Credential Security Support Provider) being enabled on the Windows Operating System. CredSSP is necessary for certain remote operations, including executing PowerShell scripts remotely.
