Nutanix NCP-MCA Exam - Topic 8 Question 70 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-MCA exam

Question #: 70
Topic #: 8

An administrator has been tasked with creating a multicloud, three-tier application using Calm. The application needs to consist of:

A MongoDB backend database

A NodeJS Javascript runtime environment

An NGINX webserver

The administrator has access to an AWS account, as well as a locally hosted Nutanix cluster. The three parts of the application should be fully redundant, and be able to tolerate either a cloud provider outage, or a local Nutanix cluster outage.

What is the most appropriate solution the administrator should choose in order to meet the requirements?

ACreate a Calm blueprint with MongoDB, Node/S, and NGINX VMs running on Nutanix, as well as an NGINX server running in AWS on US-WEST-1 and US-EAST-1.

BCreate a Calm blueprint with MongoDB, Node/S and NGINX VMs running on Nutanix, and a separate blueprint for MongoDB, NodeJS, and NGINX running in AWS on US-WEST-1 and US-EAST-1.

CCreate a Calm blueprint with MongoDB, NodelS, and NGINX VMs running on Nutanix, as well as MongoDB, NodeJS, and NGINX servers running in AWS on US-WEST-1 and US-EAST-1.

DCreate a Calm blueprint with MongoDB, NodelS, and NGINX VMs running on Nutanix, then manually create three EC2 instances for MongoDB, NodeJS and NGINX in AWS running on US-WEST-1 and
US-EAST-1.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

A Category in Nutanix is a grouping of entities (such as VMs, hosts, clusters, etc.) into a key-value pair. Categories are used to organize and manage resources more effectively by tagging them with meaningful identifiers.

Wait, can you really achieve full redundancy like this? Sounds tricky!

D? Really? Manually creating EC2 instances sounds risky.

C looks good too, but why not just stick to one blueprint?

I think B is better, separate blueprints give more control.

Option A seems solid, all components on Nutanix with AWS redundancy.

I practiced a similar question where manual setup was involved, and I think option D might complicate things too much with the manual EC2 instances.

I feel like option A could work since it has NGINX in both locations, but I’m unsure if it fully meets the redundancy requirement.

I think option B sounds familiar; it separates the blueprints for Nutanix and AWS, which might help with management, but I'm not entirely confident about the redundancy aspect.

I remember we discussed the importance of redundancy in multicloud setups, but I'm not sure if option C is the best choice since it mentions running both on Nutanix and AWS.

This is straightforward. I'll go with option C - run the core app on Nutanix and have redundant instances in AWS. That way we get the best of both worlds.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Do we need to have the entire application running in both Nutanix and AWS, or just certain components?

Okay, I've got a plan. I'll create a Calm blueprint that spans both Nutanix and AWS to ensure full redundancy. That should cover all the bases.

Hmm, I think I see a few options here. I'll need to weigh the pros and cons of running everything on Nutanix vs. splitting it between Nutanix and AWS.

This looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully consider the requirements around redundancy and cloud provider outages.

This question is like a riddle wrapped in an enigma, but I think option C is the way to go. Gotta love that multi-cloud action!

Option C seems like the most comprehensive solution. I like how it leverages both Nutanix and AWS to achieve the redundancy requirements.

Haha, I bet the administrator is just hoping we don't pick option D and create a manual mess! That's like building a house with your bare hands instead of using power tools.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards option B - it's a bit more work, but it gives us the flexibility to manage the environments separately.

Wow, this question really tests our understanding of multi-cloud architecture! I think option C is the way to go - having the full stack running on both Nutanix and AWS ensures redundancy in case of an outage.
