Recently, the vice president Of IT infrastructure was migrated from a physical computer to a virtual desktop. The administrator wants toensure that this user has the best possible experience and wants to be notified if any CPU resource constraints.
The cluster's average CPU utilization is 20%.
What step would help the administrator to know when there are resource problems on the virtual desktop?


A. Create a new alert policy to alert if the CPU on the virtual desktop is over andconfigure a Playbook to power off the virtual desktop.


B. Create a new alert policy to alert if the CPU on the virtual desktop is over andconfigure a Playbook to Slack the information to the administrator,


C. Create a new alert policy to alert if the CPU on the virtual desktop's host is over 90%.


D. Create a new alert policy to alert if the CPU on the virtual desktop's cluster is over 90%.





B.
  Create a new alert policy to alert if the CPU on the virtual desktop is over andconfigure a Playbook to Slack the information to the administrator,

Explanation: alert policies are rules that define the conditions for generating alerts on Nutanix clusters1. You can create custom alert policies based on your specific needs and preferences2Playbooks are automated workflows that perform actions based ontriggers such as alerts3. You can create playbooks using predefined alerts or alerts matching criteria3.
To ensure that the vice president of IT infrastructure has the best possible experience and to be notified if any CPU resource constraints on the virtual desktop, one possible solution is to create a new alert policy to alert if the CPU on the virtual desktop is over a certain threshold (for example, 80%) and configure a playbook to send a notification (for example, via email or Slack) to the administrator23. This way, the administrator can monitor the performance of the virtual desktop and take appropriate actions if needed.

A company based out of San Jose, CA, USA is considering deploying a global virtual desktop environment. Currently. there is no solution forvirtual desktops. The company has employees globally and decides to leverage the Public Cloud across multiple regions for theirdeployment.
Which factor is the most important for choosing a public cloud data center location to optimize for end-user performance?


A. The distance from the data center to the end users should be minimized.


B. The combined distance the corporate headquarters, the data center, and the usersshould be minimized.


C. The network latency between the end user and the data center should be minimized,


D. The data center should be in the same state or country as the end users.





C.
  The network latency between the end user and the data center should be minimized,

Explanation: one of the factors that affects end-user performance in a virtual desktop environment is network latency, which is the time it takes for data packets to travel between two points on a network.
Therefore, if the company wants to optimize end-user performance, they should choose a public cloud data center location that minimizes the network latency between the end user and the data center.

A new client has just deployed a new Frame account, During the testing phase, the security team found that they had bidirectionalclipboard,capabilities, the ability to transfer files, and connectivity to unauthorized external storage devices.
What should the administrator do to secure the environment, based on the security team's feedback?


A. Apply Group Policies to limit the endusers abilities.


B. Implement a Mobile Device Managementsolution.


C. Disable unauthorized storage providers andfeatures.


D. Deploy a device visibility & controlplatform.





C.
  Disable unauthorized storage providers andfeatures.

Explanation: According to the certification details1, one of the objectives is to “Configure and manage security features such as role-based access control (RBAC), SSL certificates, encryption at rest, and data protection.”
This answer seems to align with the security team’s feedback and the objective of managing security features using Nutanix technologies.

An administrator has created a Prism Central Playbook Action named Virtual Desktop Add CPU to add 2 vCPU to virtual desktop when an alert is triggered after the virtual desktop's CPU usage has exceeded 80%. Initially the Playbook Action works as expected, however over time it seems it is no longer being triggered.
What is causing this issue?


A. The virtual desktop CPU Usage alerts were not cleared.


B. The vNUMA boundary has been breached preventing more vCPUs to be added.


C. There are no more CPUs availed to allocate to the VM.


D. Additional vCPUs need to be registered.





A.
  The virtual desktop CPU Usage alerts were not cleared.

Explanation: The Prism Central Playbook Action is a tool that allows you to automate tasks based on triggers, such as events, alerts, or webhooks. You can define a series of actions (called a playbook) that perform operations on your infrastructure, such as adding or reducing resources on a VM2.
To use the Playbook Action for VMs, you need to meet some prerequisites, such as:
The Prism Central version must be 2020.11 or later.
The AOS version must be 5.15 LTSR or later.
The hypervisor must be AHV or ESXi.
The VMs must have Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) installed and enabled3.
One of the possible reasons why the Playbook Action is no longer being triggered is that the virtual desktop CPU Usage alerts were not cleared. According to the Prism Central guide3, “If an alert has been triggered once and has not been cleared yet, then it will not trigger any action again until it has been cleared”. Therefore, if the CPU Usage alert remains active for a virtual desktop, it will prevent the Playbook Action from adding more vCPUs to it.

An administrator is supporting two Nutanix Io-node AHV clusters (Cluster01 and Cluster02) dedicated for VDI workloads. The administrator has started receiving complaints regarding the performance of several full clone virtual desktops within Cluster01, upon review of both clusters, below are the discovered utilization metrics:
Cluster01 utilizations:
• Cluster CPU:85%
• Cluster Memory: 94%
• storage:50%
Cluster02 utilizations:
• Cluster CPU:30%
• Cluster Memory:35%
• storage:40%
Datacenter policy requires 20% resource overhead.
Which action should the administrator take to resolve this issue?


A. Review the VM Overviewdashboard.


B. Review the Hardwaredashboard.


C. Use X-Ray to migrate the virtualdesktops.


D. use a Recovery Plan to migrate the virtualdesktops.





D.
  use a Recovery Plan to migrate the virtualdesktops.

Explanation: administrator can take to resolve the issue of performance for several full clone virtual desktops within Cluster01 by migrating them to Cluster02.
a recovery plan is a set of steps that defines how to recover guest VMs from a disaster. A recovery plan can be used to migrate VMs between Nutanix clusters at the same or different availability zones1.

An administrator is deploying a new virtual desktop environment onto an existing Nutanix solution.
The virtual desktop environment will consist of these elements:
1000 instant clone call center virtual desktops (supporting 5 business units)
500 full clone developer virtual desktops (supporting 2 business units)
150 applications delivered via AppStacks (supporting 7 business units)
How many storage containers should be created to support these workloads?


A. 1


B. 2


C. 3


D. 14





C.
  3

Explanation: Based on the given information, the administrator is deploying 1000 instant clone virtual desktops, 500 full clone virtual desktops, and 150 applications. To support these workloads, the Nutanix solution will need multiple storage containers.
According to the Nutanix Certified Professional - End User Computing (NCP-EUC) v6 guide, for VDI workloads, it is recommended to create a separate storage container for each type of desktop (e.g. instant clone, full clone) and another container for AppStacks. It is also recommended to have at least one container for metadata and one container for replicas.
Therefore, for this scenario, a total of 3 storage containers should be created:
One container for 1000 instant clone virtual desktops
One container for 500 full clone virtual desktops
One container for 150 applications delivered via AppStacks
So the answer is C. 3.
