Nutanix NCP-CI-AWS Practice Questions

B.   Organization Administrator

Explanation:
In Nutanix Cloud Integration with AWS, specifically version 6.7, the role that allows full access to clusters created within an organization is the Organization Administrator.
The Organization Administrator role has the highest level of privileges within an organization, enabling the user to manage all aspects of the clusters, including creation, modification, and deletion.
This role is designed to oversee and control the entire organization's resources, ensuring comprehensive management capabilities over all clusters and associated resources.

C.   By using an Interface Endpoint

D.   By using a VPC Peer.

Explanation:
To ensure that NC2 VMs can access AWS resources without traversing the internet, the administrator can use AWS VPC Peering and Interface Endpoints. Both methods ensure that traffic stays within the AWS network, maintaining security and efficiency.
Interface Endpoint:

• Interface Endpoints allow you to privately connect your VPC to supported AWS services. They use AWS PrivateLink to route traffic directly to services within the AWS network, bypassing the public internet.

Steps:

• Create an interface endpoint for the required service in the AWS VPC console.
• Ensure the security groups and route tables are configured to allow traffic to the interface endpoint.

VPC Peering:

• VPC Peering allows the routing of traffic between VPCs using private IP addresses, without the need for internet gateways, NAT devices, or VPN connections.

Steps:

• Create a VPC peering connection between the VPCs.
• Update the route tables to direct traffic between the peered VPCs.
• Ensure security group rules allow the necessary traffic between VPCs.

C.   300

Explanation:
The Nutanix disaster recovery capabilities include recovery plans that define how entities are recovered in the event of a failure. There is a limit to the number of entities that can be managed within a single recovery plan.
Entity Limit:

• According to Nutanix documentation, the maximum number of entities that can be recovered using a single recovery plan is 300. Exceeding this limit will cause issues during the execution of the recovery plan.

Impact of Exceeding the Limit:

• If the number of entities in a recovery plan exceeds the supported limit, the recovery process may fail or not execute correctly, as observed in the scenario.

A.   AOS Ultimate or NCI Ultimate

Explanation:
The Cluster Protect feature, which provides data protection and disaster recovery capabilities for Nutanix clusters, requires either the AOS Ultimate or NCI Ultimate license. These licenses include the necessary features to leverage Cluster Protect for ensuring data resilience and recovery.

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:

• Files:

Nutanix Files provides a software-defined, scale-out file storage solution that simplifies the management and scaling of unstructured data.

• Advanced Replication:

Advanced Replication features in Nutanix include synchronous and asynchronous replication capabilities, allowing for robust disaster recovery and data protection solutions.

• DARE (Data-At-Rest Encryption):

DARE ensures that all data stored on Nutanix clusters is encrypted, providing a higher level of security for sensitive information.

These features are included in the AOS Pro licensing tier, offering enhanced data management, protection, and security capabilities.

B.   Create a new cloud account in the organization.

Explanation:
The exhibit shows two cloud accounts, one for Azure and one for AWS, with their statuses indicated. The AWS cloud account status is marked as "U" (which likely stands for "Unavailable" or "Unreachable"). This indicates that the AWS cloud account configuration is not properly connected or accessible.

Status Check:
The AWS cloud account is marked with an "U" status, meaning it is not active or accessible. This status prevents the creation of an NC2 cluster because the necessary cloud resources cannot be allocated or managed without a proper connection.

Action:
The best course of action is to create a new cloud account in the organization. This involves setting up the cloud account details correctly and ensuring it is properly configured to communicate with Nutanix and AWS.

Steps to Create a New Cloud Account:

• Log in to the Nutanix console.
• Navigate to the "Organizations" section.
• Select "Add Cloud Account" and provide the required AWS credentials and permissions.
• Ensure the new cloud account is active and correctly configured.
