QUESTION: 17

An administrator is planning a new NC2 on AWS deployment. The workload VMs to be deployed on the new cluster have low storage and memory, but high CPU frequency (>3.0 GHz) requirements. The administrate! has also been tasked with ensuring that the cluster nodes have the lowest number of CPU cores to reduce application licensing requirements.
Which node type will satisfy this new deployment?

i3.metal
zld.metal
i4i.metal
m5d.metal

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

For a new NC2 on AWS deployment where workload VMs have low storage and memory requirements but high CPU frequency (>3.0 GHz) requirements, and the goal is to minimize the number of CPU cores to reduce application licensing costs, the i3.metal instance type is the most suitable.
i3.metal:
High CPU Frequency: i3.metal instances offer high-frequency Intel Xeon processors (up to 3.1 GHz) which meet the high CPU frequency requirement.

Low Storage and Memory: These instances come with a balanced amount of storage and memory, suitable for workloads with low requirements in these areas. Minimized CPU Cores: i3.metal instances have fewer CPU cores compared to other high-frequency instances like i4i.metal, making them ideal for minimizing application licensing costs.
Other Instance Types:
z1d.metal: While also offering high CPU frequency, these instances typically come with a higher core count and more memory, which may not be optimal for minimizing licensing costs. i4i.metal: Designed for I/O intensive applications with higher core counts. m5d.metal: Balanced instance type but with more cores and not as high CPU frequency as required.

QUESTION: 18

Exhibit.

What does the exhibit indicate?

No ongoing replication
Ongoing replication
Replication in paused state
Replication in error state

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The exhibit indicates a replication operation with specific details about the protection domain, remote site, and snapshot. Key points to note are:
Bytes Completed: 0 bytes completed.
Complete Percent: 0.0%
Paused: false

Aborted: false
Given these details:
No ongoing replication: The operation has started, but there is no progress in terms of bytes completed or percentage completed. Since the status shows 0 bytes and 0 percent completed, it indicates that no data has been replicated yet.

QUESTION: 19

An administrator is tasked with adding an AWS account to the NC2 console. A requirement is to configure an AWS IAM user with the appropriate permissions.
Which permission must be assigned to the user?

lAMFullAccess
lAMReadOnlyAccess
AmazonEC2ReadOnlyAccess
AmazonEC2FullAccess

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

To add an AWS account to the NC2 console, an AWS IAM user needs to be configured with the appropriate permissions to manage the EC2 resources. The required permission for the IAM user includes full access to manage EC2 instances, volumes, and related resources.
AmazonEC2FullAccess:
This permission grants full access to all EC2 resources, including the ability to create, modify, and delete instances, volumes, security groups, and more. Essential for NC2 operations to manage the lifecycle of EC2 instances and associated components within the AWS environment.
Why Not Other Permissions:
IAMFullAccess: Grants full access to IAM resources but not specifically needed for EC2 operations. IAMReadOnlyAccess: Only provides read access to IAM resources, insufficient for managing EC2 instances.
AmazonEC2ReadOnlyAccess: Provides read-only access to EC2 resources, insufficient for creating or modifying instances and other resources.

QUESTION: 20

An administrator has created an NC2 cluster on AWS, but the NC2 console has issued this alert:

Which two scenarios could have resulted in the cluster creation failure? (Choose two.)

Bad Terraform (TF) state in provisioning
Insufficient permissions
No available AWS credits
AWS Quota exceeded/instance limit exceeded

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

The error message in the image indicates that the cluster creation failed due to reaching the maximum retries for provisioning cluster nodes. Here are two possible scenarios that could lead to this issue:
Insufficient Permissions (Answer B):
If the AWS user or role used to create the cluster does not have sufficient permissions, it can result in failures during the provisioning process. Proper IAM policies must be attached to ensure that the necessary actions can be performed, such as launching instances, creating VPCs, or managing networking components.
AWS Quota Exceeded/Instance Limit Exceeded (Answer D):
AWS imposes quotas and limits on the number of instances and other resources that can be created within an account. If these quotas are exceeded, new instances cannot be provisioned, causing the cluster creation to fail. This can be resolved by requesting a quota increase from AWS.
