Nutanix Nutanix Certified Professional NCP-CI-Azure New Questions

Role Requirements: The task involves creating and managing multiple organizations and clusters, along with managing user access across the company.

Role Capabilities: The "Customer Administrator" role is designed to provide extensive administrative capabilities, including:

Creating and managing organizations.

Managing clusters.

Handling user access and permissions.

Comparison of Roles:

Cluster Administrator: Primarily focuses on managing individual clusters but does not encompass organization-wide administrative tasks.

Customer Security Administrator: Focuses on security-related tasks and does not have broad administrative capabilities across organizations and clusters.

Organization Administrator: Manages organizational settings but might not cover all aspects needed for multiple clusters and user access management.

Conclusion: The "Customer Administrator" role meets all the requirements for managing organizations, clusters, and user access comprehensively.

NC2 on Azure Deployment: Deploying Nutanix clusters in Azure involves configuring various components, each needing appropriate network isolation and configuration.

Components and vNets:

Bare-metal instance: Requires its own vNet to ensure proper network isolation and performance.

Prism Central: Needs a dedicated vNet to manage and monitor the Nutanix environment, ensuring it has the required network access and isolation.

Azure Load Balancer: Does not require its own vNet but needs to be associated with the appropriate vNet where services are deployed.

Virtual Network Gateway: Is used for VPN connections but does not necessitate a separate vNet; it operates within an existing vNet.

Network Isolation: Providing separate vNets for Bare-metal instances and Prism Central ensures optimal performance and management capabilities.

Conclusion: Both Bare-metal instances and Prism Central require their own vNets in the NC2 on Azure deployment.

Jump Host Deployment:A Jump Host provides a secure method to access the NC2 environment when direct connectivity is unavailable. Deploying it in an external VNet allows flexibility in managing network access and security.

VNet Peering:By peering the external VNet (where the Jump Host is deployed) with the VNet containing Prism Central, the administrator can establish a communication pathway. This setup enables secure and controlled access to Prism Central from the Jump Host.

Floating IP Address Limitation:The cluster already has 25 floating IP addresses in use by other VMs. If the administrator cannot assign a floating IP address to the new VM, it is because the pool of available floating IPs is exhausted.

Requesting Additional Floating IPs:To resolve this issue, the administrator needs to request additional floating IP addresses to be allocated to the NAT subnet. This will ensure that there are enough IP addresses available for all VMs requiring inbound connectivity.
