Alex had worked with VM images before but never with something as specific and high-stakes as this. He knew that deploying the right image could make or break the project. Alex's first step was to locate the image. He scoured the company's repository and contacted several colleagues, but no one seemed to have direct access to the "jinstallvmx141r48domesticimg." The image was rumored to be stored on a highly secured server, accessible only to a select few.
