Nutanix NCP-DB Exam - Topic 6 Question 21 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-DB exam

Question #: 21
Topic #: 6

An administrator needs to protect a database with a Point In Time Recovery (PITR) SLA that provides a minimum of seven days of log

recovery.

What is the minimum Default SLA that meets this requirement?

ADEFAULT_008 GOLD SLA

BDEFAULT_008 BRONZE SLA

CDEFAULT_008 SILVER SLA

DDEFAULT_008 BRASS SLA

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Nutanix Era (NDB) utilizes DEFAULT_008 SLAs with varying frequencies for snapshots and log backups to achieve different recovery point objectives (RPOs). Here's how they compare:

DEFAULT_008 GOLD SLA:Typically has frequent log backups (e.g., every 15 minutes) and snapshots every few hours. This is designed for critical databases with very low RPOs.

DEFAULT_008 SILVER SLA:Offers a balance between protection and resource usage. Log backups might occur every hour with snapshots less frequently. This SLA is often suitable for databases requiring a good RPO without being overly resource-intensive.

DEFAULT_008 BRONZE SLA:Has less frequent log backups (e.g., every few hours) and less frequent snapshots. This is used for databases with less stringent RPO requirements.

DEFAULT_008 BRASS SLA:This has infrequent log backups and is usually considered the least protective SLA with the longest potential RPO

Reasoning:

Since the requirement is to have at least a 7-day log recovery period, any SLA with more frequent log backups than daily is excessive. The DEFAULT_008 SILVER SLA, with its hourly log backups, easily satisfies this requirement, offering the ability to restore to a point in time within the last hour of the past seven days.

Are we sure about the GOLD? I thought SILVER might work too.

I thought DEFAULT_008 GOLD SLA was the only one that guaranteed seven days of log recovery, but I could be mixing it up with another topic we covered.

I'm leaning towards DEFAULT_008 SILVER SLA as the minimum, but I feel like I need to double-check the definitions of each SLA to be certain.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think SILVER SLA was mentioned as a good option for PITR, but I can't recall the specifics.

I think the answer might be DEFAULT_008 GOLD SLA, but I'm not completely sure if that's the right one for a seven-day log recovery.

This is a tricky one. I'm not super familiar with the different SLA tiers, so I'll have to read through the options closely and try to figure out which one provides the log recovery period they're looking for.

Okay, I think I've got it. The question is asking for the minimum SLA that meets the 7-day log recovery requirement, so I just need to compare the options and select the lowest one that satisfies that.

Hmm, I'm a little confused. I know PITR is about restoring the database to a specific point in time, but I'm not sure how the SLA options relate to that. I'll have to think this through carefully.
