An administrator has recently deployed an NC2 on azure cluster, but does not have connectivity back to the on-premises environment. The administrator would like to start working on configuring the new cluster.
What is the best way to get access to Prism Central?
Correct Answer:A
✑ 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.

Exhibit.
An administrator is trying to create an NC2 cluster in Azure, but does not see the required region in the drop-down list.
Which two steps could the administrator take to resolve this issue? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer:BD
✑ Check the list of regions specified under the NC2 organization cloud account:The list of available regions in the NC2 console might be restricted based on the configuration of the cloud account associated with the NC2 organization. Verifying this list ensures that the desired region is included and available for cluster creation.
✑ Ensure that the Azure region is whitelisted for use by Microsoft in the subscription:Sometimes, specific regions need to be explicitly enabled or whitelisted in the Azure subscription for certain services. This step ensures that the required region is permitted for use within the Azure subscription, allowing the NC2 cluster to be created in that region.

An organization uses a Pay As. You Go subscription plan and wants to pay directly to Nutanix.
What is a valid payment method available to pay directly to Nutanix?
Correct Answer:A
✑ Payment Method Options:When using a Pay As You Go subscription plan and opting to pay directly to Nutanix, wire transfer is a valid and secure payment method.
✑ Direct Payment:Wire transfers allow for the direct transfer of funds from the organization's bank account to Nutanix, ensuring a straightforward and efficient payment process.

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?
Correct Answer:C
✑ 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.

An administrator has setup a routed external network (No NAT) to use for workload running in NC2 clusters on Azure.
The applications are network intensive, so four gateways VMs have been deployed to meet the high demands. One application server on the NC2 clusters is sending traffic to an outside Azure service.
How many flow gateway VMs will be used to distribute the traffic?
Correct Answer:D
✑ Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) Routing:ECMP allows multiple gateways to be used simultaneously for load balancing traffic across multiple paths. In this scenario, ECMP is configured to point to the external subnets in the Nutanix Transit VPC.
✑ Traffic Distribution:All four Flow Gateway instances will be used to distribute the outgoing traffic from the application server based on the ECMP default route configuration. This ensures efficient load balancing and utilization of all available gateway resources.
✑ Bidirectional Traffic:Both sending and receiving traffic will utilize all four Flow Gateway instances, ensuring high availability and performance for network- intensive applications.
