Question #51
A company wants to start using Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) in Azure. The company has large spend commitments as part of a Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) totaling $15 million.
What approach should the administrator take to ensure the Nutanix licensing costs apply to the MACC?
- A . Request a trial directly from Nutanix.
- B . Leverage existing Nutanix licenses
- C . Purchase Nutanix licenses through the Azure Marketplace.
- D . Purchase Nutanix licenses directly from Nutanix and contact Microsoft support.
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC):To ensure that the Nutanix licensing costs apply to the MACC, the company needs to make purchases that are recognized by Azure’s billing system. Azure Marketplace Purchases: By purchasing Nutanix licenses through the Azure Marketplace, the costs will be included in the Azure billing and count towards the MACC, thereby leveraging the committed spend.

Question #52
What will be observed in the NC2 cluster when terminating a node from the Azure portal?
- A . NC2 will shutdown the node.
- B . NC2 will continue re-provisioning the node.
- C . NC2 will terminate the node from the cluster.
- D . NC2 will mark the node as degraded.
Correct Answer: D
D
Explanation:
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.

Question #53
An administrator just completed the initial account setup tasks for NC2 on Azure, such as creating a My Nutanix account, starting a 30-day free trial for NC2 on Azure, and setting up the Azure account and subscription.
Which two additional actions should the administrator take before creating a cluster? (Choose two.)
- A . Purchasing an Azure savings plan
- B . Allowlisting the Azure Subscription
- C . Creating an App Registration
- D . Configure VPN for connectivity
Correct Answer: B, C
B, C
Explanation:
Allowlisting the Azure Subscription: This step ensures that the Azure subscription is recognized and permitted by Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2). Without allowlisting, the necessary resources and permissions within the Azure subscription may not be available for NC2, potentially blocking the creation and management of clusters.
Creating an App Registration: This involves setting up an application within Azure Active Directory (AAD) to enable secure communication between NC2 and Azure. The app registration process includes assigning permissions and obtaining necessary authentication credentials, facilitating the interaction and management of Azure resources by NC2.

Question #54
An on-premises network has been extended to azure with a VPN/ExpressRoute. The routing and peering of VNets is setup and has been confirmed to be correct.
Which statement best describes the state of the traffic flow between the on-prem CVMs and the NC2 CVMs in Azure?
- A . The Network Security Group of the Flow Gateway VM on the Internal NICs will need to be edited to enable the traffic flow.
- B . A ticket will need to be put in with Microsoft support to open the subnet ranges from on-premises.
- C . Traffic will flow directly to the NC2 CVMs. Nothing will block the path by default.
- D . The Network Security Group of the Flow Gateway VM on the Externa! NICs will need to be edited to
enable the traffic flow.
Correct Answer: A
A
Explanation:
Network Security Groups (NSGs):NSGs control the inbound and outbound traffic to and from Azure resources. For traffic between on-premises CVMs and NC2 CVMs in Azure, the NSGs associated with the Flow Gateway VM’s Internal NICs must be configured to allow the required traffic.
Editing NSGs: To enable traffic flow, specific rules must be added to the NSGs to permit traffic from the on-premises network to the NC2 environment. This includes specifying the appropriate source and destination IP ranges and the necessary ports and protocols.

Question #55
An administrator needs to attach a network interface to a Flow Gateway VM.
What option should be enabled in the Azure portal and in the OS of the Flow gateway VM to meet this network requirement?
- A . Port Tagging
- B . Dynamic Route
- C . IP Forwarding
- D . Static Route
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
IP Forwarding in Azure: Enabling IP forwarding allows the VM to forward network traffic that is not specifically addressed to itself. This is necessary for network devices like the Flow Gateway VM to route traffic correctly.
Network Interface Configuration: Both the Azure portal settings and the VM’s operating system must have IP forwarding enabled to ensure proper traffic handling and routing capabilities.

Question #56
Which entity should be contacted for cloud hardware support (EC2 instances, VPC, etc) related to NC2?
- A . Nutanix
- B . Public Cloud Vendor
- C . Partner
- D . Internal IT Operations team
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
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.

Question #58
An administrator needs to configure the correct outbound requirement for a successful cluster deployment in Azure.
Which destination must have an outbound rule to meet this requirement?
- A . Https://portal.nutanix.com/*
- B . Https://downloads.cloud.nutanix.com/*
- C . Https://support.nutanix.com/*
- D . https://nutanix.dev/*
