Nutanix NCP-CI-AWS Nutanix Certified Professional - Cloud Integration - AWS v6.7 Exam Practice Test
Question 1
A company wants to start using Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) in AWS. The company has large spend commitments as part of an AWS Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) totaling $15 million.
What approach should the administrator take to ensure that Nutanix licensing costs to the EDP commitment?
Answer : A
Given the company's large spend commitments as part of an AWS Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) totaling $15 million, purchasing Nutanix licenses through the AWS Marketplace ensures that the costs contribute to the EDP commitment.
This approach integrates the Nutanix license costs into the overall AWS spend, thereby maximizing the benefits of the EDP.
Purchasing directly from Nutanix or leveraging existing licenses might not count towards the AWS EDP commitment, and trial licenses are typically for evaluation purposes and do not contribute to the committed spend.
Reference: Refer to the Nutanix and AWS documentation on licensing and marketplace purchases, and EDP program details.
Question 2
An administrator has recently deployed an NC2 on AWS cluster in the North Virginia region in availability zone us-east-1z. The clusters UUID is 0005F487-4962-91EA-4C98-C4284D123835.
The cluster is consuming IPs from a 10.78.2.0/24 range.
The AWS VPC has these available CIDR ranges:
* 70.73.0.0/16
* 10.79.107.0/24
* 10.0.0.0/22
The following subnets have been configured in the NC2 AWS VPC:
The following tags have been applied to a Custom Network Security Group:
The Custom Network Security Group is allowing all inbound traffic from the 10.0.0.0/22 network. Which two subnets would be able to receive inbound traffic from AWS instances on a 10.0.0.0/22 network segment"? (Choose two.)
Answer : A, B
To determine which subnets would be able to receive inbound traffic from AWS instances on a 10.0.0.0/22 network segment, we need to look at the configured subnets and their CIDR ranges, as well as the custom network security group's inbound rules.
Available CIDR ranges in VPC:
70.73.0.0/16
10.79.107.0/24
10.0.0.0/22
Configured Subnets in NC2 AWS VPC:
VDI: 10.78.130.0/22
SQL: 10.78.3.0/24
Server01: 10.78.2.0/24
Server02: 10.79.120.0/24
Tier01: 10.19.101.0/24
Custom Network Security Group Inbound Rule:
Allows all inbound traffic from 10.0.0.0/22.
Given that the custom network security group is allowing inbound traffic from the 10.0.0.0/22 network, we need to identify which of the configured subnets fall within this allowed range.
Analysis:
The subnets 10.78.130.0/22, 10.78.3.0/24, 10.78.2.0/24, 10.79.120.0/24, and 10.19.101.0/24 do not overlap with 10.0.0.0/22. Therefore, none of these subnets would naturally fall within the 10.0.0.0/22 range directly.
However, since the question is about receiving inbound traffic from the 10.0.0.0/22 network and considering security group rules, all subnets mentioned can technically receive traffic if the inbound rules are configured correctly, but since we are strictly asked about the configuration from the image and the overlap in the ranges:
Server01 (10.78.2.0/24) and Tier01 (10.19.101.0/24) will receive traffic because their CIDR ranges do not conflict with the 10.0.0.0/22 range, thus allowing traffic without additional restrictions.

Question 3
Exhibit.
An administrator is attempting, but failing to create an NC2 cluster in AWS. The administrator checks the configuration in the NC and notices the configuration shown in the exhibit.
What action should the administrator take to resolve the issue?
Answer : B
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.

Question 4
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?
Answer : B, C
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.
Question 5
When creating an NC2 cluster in AWS, what are the required permissions for the account used to run the CloudFormation script?
Answer : C
When creating an NC2 cluster in AWS, the account used to run the CloudFormation script requires specific permissions to ensure the deployment is successful. The required permissions are:
IAMFullAccess: Provides full access to IAM resources.
AmazonEC2FullAccess: Allows full access to EC2 resources.
AWSCIoudFormationFullAccess: Grants full access to manage AWS CloudFormation stacks.
These permissions are necessary to create, manage, and deploy the required AWS resources for the NC2 cluster.
Question 6
During the recovery of entities protected by Cluster Project, an administrator discovers that the recovery plan is not executing correctly because it exceeds the number of supported entities.
How many entities can be recovered using a Single recovery plan?
Answer : C
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.

Question 7
Which service enables the monitoring of key metrics on various AWS services, inducing EC2, EBS, and VPC for an NC2 cluster deployments?
Answer : A
Amazon CloudWatch is the service that enables the monitoring of key metrics on various AWS services, including EC2, EBS, and VPC, for NC2 cluster deployments.
Amazon CloudWatch:
Amazon CloudWatch provides monitoring for AWS cloud resources and applications. It collects and tracks metrics, collects and monitors log files, and sets alarms.
Specifically, for NC2 deployments, CloudWatch can be used to monitor key metrics such as CPU utilization, disk I/O, network I/O for EC2 instances, EBS volume performance, and VPC network traffic.
Features:
Metrics Monitoring: Collects and visualizes operational data in the form of metrics, including utilization, performance, and health.
Logs Monitoring: Collects log data, monitors it in real-time, and triggers alarms based on predefined thresholds.
Alarms: Notifies when operational performance thresholds are breached.
Integration with NC2:
By setting up CloudWatch, administrators can ensure they have visibility into the performance and health of their Nutanix clusters on AWS, aiding in proactive management and troubleshooting.
