Which two options are prerequisites for deploying an NC2 cloud cluster in Azure? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer:
BC
✑ Valid CIDR Range:When deploying an NC2 cloud cluster in Azure, a valid CIDR range is necessary to define the IP address space for the cluster and its associated networks. This range ensures that there are no conflicts with existing network configurations and provides sufficient addresses for the cluster resources.
✑ My Nutanix Account:A my.nutanix.com account is required to access Nutanix services and manage NC2 deployments. This account allows administrators to log in, configure settings, and manage their Nutanix environment on Azure.

An administrator is tasked with creating a new subnet for a group of VMs that require inbound internet access. Internal private addresses must be obscured to servers on the public internet.
Which network is best suited for satisfying this requirement?
Correct Answer:
D
✑ NAT Based Network:A NAT-based network is designed to provide inbound and outbound internet access while obscuring the internal private addresses. This setup uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to map internal IP addresses to a public IP address, ensuring that internal addresses are not exposed to the public internet.
✑ Security and Connectivity:NAT provides a layer of security by hiding internal IP addresses and allowing controlled access to external resources. This configuration is well-suited for VMs that need to communicate with servers on the public internet while maintaining the privacy of their internal network addresses.

What will be observed in the NC2 cluster when terminating a node from the Azure portal?
Correct Answer:
D
✑ Node Termination Observation:When a node is terminated from the Azure portal, the NC2 cluster will detect that the node is no longer operational.
✑ Marking as Degraded:NC2 will mark the node as degraded, indicating that the node is not functioning as expected. This status allows administrators to take necessary actions to resolve the issue, such as provisioning a new node or addressing the degradation cause.

NC2 Azure API calls are failing and MCM no longer shows telemetry or health of the cluster.
Where should the administrator look first?
Correct Answer:
A
✑ Outbound Communication Whitelisting:For NC2 Azure API calls and telemetry data to function correctly, certain outbound communications must be allowed. If these communications are not whitelisted, API calls can fail, and telemetry or health data might not be reported correctly.
✑ First Check:Given the symptoms (failing API calls and missing telemetry), the first step should be to ensure that all necessary outbound communications are correctly whitelisted. This includes ensuring that endpoints and services required for NC2 operation are accessible.

An administrator needs to ensure API calls are executing successfully from NC2 to manage
Azure resources.
Which cluster outbound to Azure connections are required to satisfy this task?
Correct Answer:
D
✑ API Key Management:For NC2 to manage Azure resources successfully, it needs to authenticate and authorize API calls. This is typically handled through API keys, which are managed via specific endpoints.
✑ Required Connection:The endpointapikeys.nutanix.comis crucial for managing these API keys. Ensuring connectivity to this endpoint allows NC2 to verify and utilize the API keys needed for interacting with Azure services.
