I'm guessing because the server is cloned, you need a new certificate. Though self-signed isn't ideal, it does not state that the production server is a public-facing server. Maybe it's an internal webserver. For internal servers self-signed certificates are okay.

CE is right. I'm guessing the question is asking how to secure the VM WHILE in production. Self-signed is often used in non-production environment.

It's because a self-signed certificate gives SSL protection, so it does fit the criteria of securing the VM
