Free NCP-CI-Azure Nutanix Updates

Cloud Hardware Support: For issues related to cloud hardware, such as EC2 instances or VPC configurations, the responsible entity is typically the public cloud vendor.

Nutanix Responsibility: Nutanix manages the software layer and integration aspects of the NC2 service, but the underlying hardware support is managed by the cloud provider (e.g., AWS, Azure).

Support Process:

Public Cloud Vendor: Contact the public cloud vendor for issues directly related to the hardware, as they own and manage the physical infrastructure.

Nutanix: For software and configuration issues specific to the NC2 service, contact Nutanix support.

Conclusion: For cloud hardware-related support, the appropriate contact is the public cloud vendor.

To verify that the NC2 specialist has access to the necessary organizations for troubleshooting the issue, the administrator should:

Confirm that theSupport Authorizationon the organization is set toFull Access. This ensures that the NC2 specialist has the required permissions to access the necessary resources and perform the necessary actions to resolve the issue.

Providing login credentials or adding the specialist as an admin user is not recommended due to security and privacy concerns. Ensuring the specialist is assigned the correct RBAC role is another valid approach but confirming the support authorization directly ensures they have the needed access.

Flow Gateway VMs: Flow Gateway VMs are used to manage and route network traffic within an NC2 on Azure cluster, ensuring sufficient bandwidth for workloads.

Scalability: To ensure enough available bandwidth, multiple Flow Gateway VMs can be deployed.

Maximum Limit: The highest number of Flow Gateway VMs that can be deployed within an NC2 on Azure environment is 6, providing the necessary capacity to handle high traffic volumes and ensure optimal performance.

Conclusion: Deploying up to 6 Flow Gateway VMs ensures adequate bandwidth for NC2 workloads.
