Suggested Answer: D

The Era One-Click Provisioning service in Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) simplifies and automates database administration. It brings one-click simplicity to database provisioning and life-cycle management. This service enables database administrators to provision, clone, and refresh the database clones to any point in time1. Specifically, it enables the creation of space-efficient clones and zero-byte database clones1. This is part of Era's copy data management service, which includes components like Time Machine, one-click cloning and refresh, and one-click backup21.

I'd go with Option A. The scaling abilities of NDB should make it easy to resize the existing vDisks and expand the database.

I'm not sure, I think creating a new, larger database and migrating might be a better option for scalability.

Option B makes the most sense to me. Scaling existing vDisks is the most efficient way to increase the database size without having to migrate data or add new hardware.
