Use the simulator to assign a protection policy to the virtual machine “VM1”.

Navigate to the virtual machine management section where VMs are listed, usually under the "Compute" or "VM" section.

Locate "VM1" from the list of virtual machines.

Access the settings or properties of "VM1".

Look for the "Protection" or "Protection Policies" section within the VM settings.

Select the option to create a new policy or assign an existing one.

In the policy settings, configure the snapshot schedule:

Set the frequency to weekly on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Set the time to 10:00 PM Eastern Time.

Configure the retention period for the snapshots to be 10 days.

Save the policy and ensure it is correctly associated with "VM1".
