Nutanix NCP-CI-Azure Exam - Topic 3 Question 18 Discussion

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

Question #: 18
Topic #: 3

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?

ADeploy a Jump Host in an external VNet and peer the VNets for communication between Prism Central VNet and the Jump Host VNet.

BDeploy a Jump Host instance in the same subnet as the bare-metal.

CDeploy a Jump Host in an external VNet and peer the VNets for communication between bare-metal VNet and the Jump Host VNet.

DDeploy a Jump Host Instance In the Prism Central VNet inside a delegated subnet

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested 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.

C has its merits, but A feels more comprehensive for future needs.

I’m leaning towards C. It connects bare-metal directly, which is crucial.

A is definitely the way to go. Jump Host in external VNet is smart.

Wait, can you really use a Jump Host like that?

Option D is the clear winner here. Deploying the Jump Host in the Prism Central VNet is the most logical choice.

Hmm, I'm not sure I'd want to peer VNets just to access Prism Central. D seems like the cleanest solution.

I agree with Dwight. Option D is the best way to get access to Prism Central without any additional networking setup.

Option D seems like the most straightforward approach. Deploying the Jump Host in the Prism Central VNet makes the most sense.

I’m not confident, but option D seems like it could work since it places the Jump Host directly in the Prism Central VNet.

I’m leaning towards option C because it mentions peering, which seems important for communication between different VNets.

I remember practicing a similar question where the Jump Host was in the same subnet. That might be option B, but I feel like it could limit connectivity.

This is a tricky one. I'll need to draw out the network diagram to visualize the different options and how the connectivity would work. I don't want to rush into an answer here.

I've seen this type of question before. The key is understanding the network requirements and how to properly connect the different components. I'm leaning towards option A as the most robust and secure solution.

Okay, let me think this through. I need to consider the network setup and how to best connect the on-premises environment to the Azure cluster. I'll have to weigh the pros and cons of each option.

I'm a bit confused about the different VNet options here. I'll need to carefully read through the question and think about the network topology to determine the best approach.
