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

Posted by Onita on Nov 22, 2025 at 05:24 PM

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

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.

I agree with C, it covers all bases.

Wait, why would you need IAMUserSSHKeys? Seems off.

I think A might be better, though.

Option C is definitely the right choice!

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.
LA

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.
NE
Nelida 9 months ago
I remember practicing a similar question, and I believe AWSCIoudFormationFullAccess is definitely required, but I can't recall if IAMFullAccess is necessary.
VE
Veta 9 months ago
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.
SU
Suzan 9 months ago
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.
GL
Gladys 9 months ago
I'm a bit confused on the difference between IAMAccess and IAMFullAccess. Does the question require full admin access or just basic IAM permissions?
NO
Norah 10 months ago
I think the permissions needed are mostly related to EC2 and CloudFormation, but I'm not entirely sure which IAM roles are essential.
FR

C) looks like the correct answer to me. Can't go wrong with full access to EC2 and CloudFormation.
PE

I think option A is the best choice. Full access is crucial.
AU

A covers everything needed for CloudFormation.
VI

C seems solid. EC2 access is important for clusters.
LE
Leanora 11 months ago
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.
BE
Bernadine 11 months ago
Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the AWS documentation on CloudFormation permissions to make sure I get this right.
