Nutanix NCP-CI-AWS Exam - Topic 2 Question 32 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-CI-AWS exam

Question #: 32
Topic #: 2

When creating an NC2 cluster in AWS, what are the required permissions for the account used to run the CloudFormation script?

AIAMAccess, AmazonCloudDirectoryFullAccess, AWSCIoudFormationFullAccess

BlAMAccess, AWS_ConfigRole, AWSCIoudFormationFullAccess

ClAMFullAccess, AmazonEC2FullAccess, AWSCIoudFormationFullAccess

DlAMUserSSHKeys, AWS_ConfigRole, AWSCIoudFormationFullAccess

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

When creating an NC2 cluster in AWS, the account used to run the CloudFormation script requires specific permissions to ensure the deployment is successful. The required permissions are:

IAMFullAccess: Provides full access to IAM resources.

AmazonEC2FullAccess: Allows full access to EC2 resources.

AWSCIoudFormationFullAccess: Grants full access to manage AWS CloudFormation stacks.

These permissions are necessary to create, manage, and deploy the required AWS resources for the NC2 cluster.

I agree with C. Full access to IAM and EC2 is essential.

D doesn't seem right. SSH keys aren't enough for this task.

I feel like B could work too, but missing some key permissions.

Really? I thought IAMAccess was enough on its own.

Wait, why would you need IAMUserSSHKeys? Seems off.

I'm leaning towards C) - can't have too much access when setting up a production cluster.

Haha, imagine if the answer was "All of the above." That would be a real head-scratcher!

A) seems a bit overkill with the CloudDirectory access. I'd stick to the basics.

D) is the way to go. Gotta have those IAM user SSH keys to access the nodes, right?

I'm going with B). The AWS_ConfigRole seems important for setting up the cluster.

I think AWS_ConfigRole might not be necessary for just creating an NC2 cluster, but I can't remember the specifics from my study materials.

I feel like IAMAccess is a common permission needed for most AWS operations, but I’m confused about the other options.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I believe AWSCIoudFormationFullAccess is definitely required, but I can't recall if IAMFullAccess is necessary.

This seems straightforward. We need the ability to create the CloudFormation stack, so AWSCloudFormationFullAccess is a must. The other permissions are just supporting that main requirement.

Based on my understanding, the NC2 cluster requires some specific AWS service permissions, so I'm leaning towards option B. But I'll double-check the details to be sure.

I'm a bit confused on the difference between IAMAccess and IAMFullAccess. Does the question require full admin access or just basic IAM permissions?

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is that we need permissions to create the IAM roles and resources required for the NC2 cluster, so I'm going with option C.
