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.

How many Amazon Elastic Block Store(EBS) volumes are attached to each node within an AWS NC2 cluster upon creation.

A. 1

B. 2

C. 3

D. 4

C. 3

Explanation:

Upon creation, each node within an AWS NC2 cluster has3 Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes attached.
These volumes are used for different purposes, such as operating system storage, Nutanix services, and user data storage.
The number of EBS volumes is designed to ensure adequate storage performance and capacity for the NC2 cluster's operations and workload demands.

An administrator has been tasked with ensuring NC2 VMs are able to access AWS resources. The NC2 VM traffic must not traverse the internet. in which two ways would the administrator achieve this? (Choose two.)

A. By using a Gateway Endpoint

B. By using a NAT Gateway.

C. By using an Interface Endpoint

D. By using a VPC Peer.

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.

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 seeks to ensure that the newly created NC2 organization named Finance can only deploy clusters into certain cloud regions. What action should the administrator take to do this?

A. Configure RBAC roles on the Finance NC2 organization to allow access to regions.

B. Configure IAM permission in cloud accounts to restrict access to certain regions.

C. Open a support ticket with Nutanix to whitelist the allowed regions for the Finance NC2organization.

D. Specify allowed regions when configuring a cloud account for the Finance NC2 organization.

Explanation:
To ensure that the newly created NC2 organization named Finance can only deploy clusters into certain cloud regions, the administrator should specify the allowed regions during the cloud account configuration.
This action restricts the regions available for cluster deployment, ensuring compliance with organizational policies or regulatory requirements.
The allowed regions can be set in the cloud account settings associated with the Finance NC2 organization, defining the geographical scope of operations.
