Nutanix Certified Professional - Cloud Native v6.10 Sample Questions:

1. A Platform Engineer is deploying NKP into a highly secure vSphere environment. The NKP cluster will be air-gapped, and must also be FIPS compliant. The OS platform to be used for NKP cluster nodes is RHEL.
What must the engineer do to properly prep an OS image and have it be deployed as a FIPS compliant NKP cluster node?

A) Verify the OS itself has been placed in fips mode.When performing the NKP image build operation, be sure to include the offline fips override.When performing the NKP cluster deploy operation, be sure to include the FIPS version references for kubernetes and etcd.
B) Verify the OS itself has been placed in fips mode.When performing the NKP image build operation, be sure to include the offline fips and fips overrides.When performing the NKP cluster deploy operation, be sure to include the FIPS version references for kubernetes and etcd.
C) Verify the OS itself has been placed in fips mode.When performing the NKP cluster deploy operation, be sure to include the FIPS version references for kubernetes, kubectl and etcd.
D) Verify the OS itself has been placed in fips mode.When performing the NKP image build operation, be sure to include the offline fips and fips overrides.When performing the NKP cluster deploy operation, be sure to include the FIPS version references for kubernetes, kubectl and etcd.

2. Looking at the nodepools for the Kubernetes cluster named demo, there is a node pool named md-1 with only one worker. This worker should be deleted along with the node pool md-1.
How should this task be accomplished?

A) Run ncli vm.delete demo-md-1-hQ2sz-mw4p6-fptc
B) Run nkp node scale nodepool md-1 --replicas=0 --cluster-name=demo
C) Run nkp delete nodepool md-1 --cluster-name=demo
D) Run acli vm.delete demo-md-1-hQ2sz-mw4p6-fptc

3. A Platform Engineer is preparing an AWS instance using KIB for becoming an NKP cluster node.
During the process, the source AMI is successfully cloned, and multiple preparation steps have occurred against the cloned AMI, such as gathering OS-release facts and uploading image bundles to it. However, the process encounters an error and ultimately fails. What is one troubleshooting step the engineer can perform that may help identify the root cause of the issue?

A) Rerun the KIB command, including the parameter to instruct Ansible not to automatically delete the cloned AMI on error. This way the OS image can be accessed and further inspected.
B) Rerun the KIB command, including the parameter to instruct Packer not to automatically delete the cloned AMI on error. This way the OS image can be accessed and further inspected.
C) Rerun the KIB command, including the parameter to set the verbosity level to debug, so that all issued AWS CLI commands and their returns are included and added to an exported log file for review.
D) Rerun the KIB command, including the pause parameter, so that each command in the KIB-prep sequence and its return can be reviewed in detail before allowing the prep process to continue.

4. After selecting the Production workspace and selecting View Details for the cluster prod-01, a Platform Engineer wanted to enable the NKP Insights application. This application is under the Observability category, but this category doesn't appear in the list. Which action should the engineer take to be able to deploy the NKP Insights application in the Kubernetes cluster for this workspace?

A) Select Insights in the left menu and select the Enable button.
B) Select Clusters in the left menu, select View Details for the cluster prod-01, then in the Application Dashboard, select Enable in the NKP Insights three-dot menu.
C) Select Applications in the left menu, press the three-dot menu in the NKP Insights application option, and select Enable.
D) Select Clusters in the left menu, select Applications, and select Enable in the NKP Insights three- dot menu.

5. A Platform Engineer has been tasked with building a custom image for the deployment of NKP management and worker nodes. The engineer needs to ensure that the proper package versions are used when creating these images. The security team has only authorized version 1.30.5 of Kubernetes and version 1.7.22 of containerd. Where should the engineer go to verify that this is the version being used when building the custom image?

A) The custom image's .env file
B) terraform/vars/default/terraform.tfvars
C) ansible/group_vars/all/defaults.yaml
D) config/pulumi/vars/pulumi.kib.config
