Nutanix NCP-CI-AWS Practice Questions

What is the purpose of an organization in the NC2 console?

A. To link with NC2 subscription plans

B. To map the on-premises Prism Central environment

C. To segregate clusters based on specific requirements

D. To Link with a Public Cloud account

C. To segregate clusters based on specific requirements

Explanation:
In the NC2 console, an organization is used to segregate clusters based on specific requirements. This segregation allows administrators to manage clusters more effectively by grouping them according to business units, projects, or other criteria. This organizational structure helps in maintaining clear boundaries and applying specific policies or permissions to different clusters within the same NC2 environment.

An administrator is deploying an NC2 cluster on AWS in the us-west-2 region. A VPC, management subnet, and a VM subnet are already created in the target region.
The management subnet has a local route and a route to the internet. The subnet has a route and a route to the NAT gateway. During the deployment, the management subnet appears in the drop-down list in the Create Cluster wizard, but cannot be selected.
What is the cause of this problem?

A. The subnet has both an IPv4 CIDR block and an IPv6 CIDR block.

B. The subnet has an IPv4 CIDR block but does not have an IPv6 CIDR block.

C. The subnet has a direct route to an Internet gateway.

D. The subnet does not have route to a Site-to-Site VPN connection through a virtual private gateway.

A. The subnet has both an IPv4 CIDR block and an IPv6 CIDR block.

The Nutanix Create Cluster wizard may not support selecting subnets that have both IPv4 and IPv6 CIDR blocks due to compatibility or configuration constraints.
When a subnet with both CIDR blocks is present, it can cause issues in the selection process during cluster creation, as the system might not be able to properly handle or recognize the dual-stack configuration.
Ensuring that the management subnet has only an IPv4 CIDR block, without an IPv6 CIDR block, could resolve this issue and allow for successful selection in the cluster creation wizard.

An administrator is deploying an NC2 cluster into an existing AWS VPC.
The cluster deployment fails, with the following error message:

Why has the deployment failed?

A. The administrator has not created the necessary Security Group.

B. The administrator has not configured the Security Group to manage the shared subnet.

C. Shared subnets are not supported for Nutanix clusters.

D. Outbound Internet access is not configured on the VPC.

A. The administrator has not created the necessary Security Group.

Explanation:
The administrator has not created the necessary Security Group:

The error message indicates that the creation of network interfaces in a shared subnet requires specifying a security group. This means that the necessary security group has not been created or assigned to the network interfaces.
Creating the appropriate security group and ensuring it is associated with the network interfaces during cluster deployment should resolve this issue.

What is an available log module when configuring a syslog server in the Prism Central Admin Center?

A. API Audit

B. Prism

C. Zookeeper

D. Acropolis

Explanation:

When configuring a syslog server in the Prism Central Admin Center for Nutanix, one of the available log modules is Acropolis.
The Acropolis module logs system events related to the Nutanix Acropolis operating system, which is critical for monitoring and auditing system activities and performance.
Configuring syslog with the Acropolis module ensures that important events and issues related to the Acropolis environment are captured and can be forwarded to an external syslog server for centralized logging and analysis.

Which interface must be used to deploy NC2?

A. Cloud Provider portal

B. NC2 Tile within the my.nutanix.com portal

C. Prism Central Dashboard

D. Foundation running in a Cloud Virtual Machine

B. NC2 Tile within the my.nutanix.com portal

Explanation:
The NC2 Tile within the my.nutanix.com portal is the correct interface to deploy NC2. This portal provides an integrated and user-friendly interface specifically designed for deploying and managing Nutanix Clusters on AWS.

NC2 Deployment Interface:

NC2 Tile within the my.nutanix.com portal: This portal provides the necessary tools and options to deploy and manage NC2 clusters. It includes functionalities for setting up the clusters, configuring network settings, and managing resources.

Advantages:

User-Friendly Interface: Simplifies the deployment process with a guided setup.
Integrated Tools: Provides access to all necessary tools for managing the deployment and monitoring of NC2 clusters.

A company has purchased Nutanix AOS Pro licensing. Which add-on products are available with this license tier in the AWS cluster deployment wizard?

A. EUC

B. Nus

C. Self-Service and Cost Governance

D. Files, Advanced Replication, and DARE

Explanation:
With the Nutanix AOS Pro licensing, several advanced features and add-on products become available. Specifically, in the AWS cluster deployment wizard, the following add-ons are available:
