Nutanix NCP-CI-AWS Practice Questions

Administrator has recently deployed an NC2 cluster on AWS in the North Virginia region in availability zone us-east-id. The consuming IPS from a 10.78.2.0/24 range.
The AWS VPC has two available CIDR ranges:
10.78.0.0/16
10.19.101.0/24
The following subnet have been configured in the NC2 AWS VPC:

Which two subnet will show up in the Network configuration of the Prism Element Settings page? (Choose two.)

A. DR01

B. L2stretch

C. VDI

D. DR02

A. DR01

B. L2stretch

Explanation:

For the NC2 cluster deployed in the North Virginia region (us-east-id), consuming IPs from the 10.78.2.0/24 range, the subnets configured within the same CIDR range of 10.78.0.0/16 will be recognized.
The subnetDR01 (10.78.2.0/24)is directly within the range of the deployed cluster.
The subnetL2stretch (10.19.101.0/24)is also configured in the NC2 AWS VPC, although not in the immediate range of the cluster, it may show up due to broader network configurations for stretched L2 operations.
SubnetsVDI (10.78.130.0/22) and DR02 (10.79.120.0/24), although part of the same VPC, are not directly within the immediate CIDR range or may not be recognized in this specific configuration scenario.

An administrator has deployed an NC2 cluster on AWS to an existing environment for VDI.
Afterwards, the corporate security teams direct the administrator to reuse an existing AWS subnet, 10.79.4.0/24 that has two EC2 instances: EC2-1 (10.79.4.200) and EC2-2 (10.79.4.201). The security team indicates that this directive is to avoid overlap with the AHV IPAM.
Which two configuration actions should the administrator take to ensure there are no configuration issues? (Choose two.)

A. aCLI > net.add_to_ip_bfacklist 10.79.4.200 aCLI > net.add_to_ip_blacklist 10.79.4.201

B. Deploy two VMs on the NC2 cluster and assign 10.79.4.200 and 10.79.4.201 as the assigned IPs in Prism Element

C. aCLI > net.de/ete_from_ip_blacklist 10.79.4.200 aCLI > net.defete_fromjp_blacklist 10.79.4.201

D. Configure the AHV JPAM to use DHCP range 10.79.4.2 -10.79.4.253.

A. aCLI > net.add_to_ip_bfacklist 10.79.4.200 aCLI > net.add_to_ip_blacklist 10.79.4.201

D. Configure the AHV JPAM to use DHCP range 10.79.4.2 -10.79.4.253.

Explanation:
To avoid IP address conflicts and ensure there are no configuration issues when reusing an existing AWS subnet, the administrator should take the following actions:

aCLI > net.add_to_ip_blacklist 10.79.4.200 aCLI > net.add_to_ip_blacklist 10.79.4.201 (Answer A):
This command adds the specified IP addresses to the blacklist, preventing AHV IPAM from assigning these addresses to any VMs. This ensures that the existing EC2 instances with IPs 10.79.4.200 and 10.79.4.201 are not allocated to other VMs in the NC2 cluster.

Configure the AHV IPAM to use DHCP range 10.79.4.2 -10.79.4.253 (Answer D):
By configuring the AHV IPAM to use a specific DHCP range, you ensure that the IP addresses assigned to the EC2 instances (10.79.4.200 and 10.79.4.201) are not included in the DHCP pool. This prevents IP address conflicts within the subnet.

A company has a large scale AWS deployment and has just finished installing their first NC2 on AWS cluster. The new cluster is now running workloads in production.
The cluster is configured with:
* 16 Nodes
* 8 Subnets
* 200 User VMs per subnet
* Nutanix Files
An administrator has been tasked with installing an EC2 instance on one of the subnets that is also used by the Nutanix, When the EC2 instance is powered on, an IP conflict occurs.
What action should the administrator take to resolve this issue?

A. The IP address used by the NC2 VM should be blocked /excluded from EC2.

B. The Instance Metadata of the NC2 instance needs to have the address reserved.

C. Assign an elastic IP to the EC2 instance and reboot.

D. The IP address used by the EC2 instance should be blocked / excluded from IPAM.

A. The IP address used by the NC2 VM should be blocked /excluded from EC2.

Explanation:
To resolve the IP conflict issue when an EC2 instance is powered on in a subnet also used by Nutanix NC2, the administrator should block or exclude the IP address used by the NC2 VM from being assigned to EC2 instances. This can be done by configuring the IP address management (IPAM) settings to ensure that the specific IP addresses allocated to the NC2 VMs are not used by EC2 instances, preventing IP conflicts and ensuring smooth operation of both environments.

Which two features or services can an administrator ensure are protected by cluster protect within an NC2 environment? (Choose two.)

A. Flow Network Security

B. VM Templates

C. Nutanix Files

D. Virtual Machine Disks

C. Nutanix Files

D. Virtual Machine Disks

Explanation:
Within an NC2 environment, the Cluster Protect feature can ensure the protection of:
Nutanix Files: This provides file services within the Nutanix ecosystem, and Cluster Protect can safeguard the data stored in Nutanix Files.
Virtual Machine Disks: This ensures that the data stored on virtual machine disks is protected, providing backup and recovery options for the virtual machines running within the cluster.

Which service enables the monitoring of key metrics on various AWS services, inducing EC2, EBS, and VPC for an NC2 cluster deployments?

A. Amazon CloudWatch

B. AWS CloudTrail

C. AWS CloudFormation

D. Amazon inspector

A. Amazon CloudWatch

An administrator needs to understand which of the services implemented on their NC2 AWS deployment will be protected with Cluster protect. Which service of feature is Cluster Protect able to both protect and recover its associated metadata?

A. Object

B. VM templates

C. Files

D. Categories

B. VM templates

C. Files

Explanation:
Cluster Protect in an NC2 environment can protect and recover the following services and their associated metadata:
VM Templates: Ensures that templates used for creating virtual machines are backed up and recoverable.
Files: Protects data stored in Nutanix Files, ensuring that file services are backed up and can be restored as needed.
