An administrator has been asked to create a cluster to support new workloads.
What are the maximum number of nodes supported in an NC2 on Azure environment?

  1. 14 nodes
  2. 18 nodes
  3. 24 nodes
  4. 28 nodes

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

NC2 Cluster Node Limit: NC2 on Azure has specific limitations regarding the maximum number of nodes supported in a single cluster.
Maximum Nodes: According to the current NC2 on Azure guidelines, a single cluster can support up to 18 nodes.
Workload Support: This limitation ensures optimal performance and management of resources within the Azure environment.
Comparison of Options:
14 nodes: Less than the maximum supported.
24 nodes and 28 nodes: Exceed the maximum supported, potentially leading to performance and management issues.
Conclusion: For supporting new workloads, the maximum number of nodes in an NC2 on Azure environment is 18.

A company is extending a subnet from their on-premises environment to an NC2 cluster on Azure. The company is considering using either a Virtual Tunnel End Point (VTEP) or a layer 2 subnet Extension over VPN.
In which two scenarios would it be advantageous to use VTEP for this requirement? (Choose two.)

  1. Connectivity between sites already provides encryption.
  2. Only one remote Availability Zone exists that needs the subnet extended.
  3. Connectivity between sites already does not provided encryption.
  4. Multiple remote Availability Zones exist to add to the same VTEP-based extended Layer 2 subnet.

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

Scenario Analysis:
A . Connectivity between sites already provides encryption: Using VTEP in this scenario is advantageous because VTEP does not inherently provide encryption. If encryption is already provided, VTEP can be effectively used without additional security concerns. D . Multiple remote Availability Zones exist to add to the same VTEP-based extended Layer 2 subnet:
VTEP is well-suited for scenarios where multiple remote Availability Zones need to be connected to the same extended Layer 2 subnet. This allows for efficient management and seamless connectivity across different zones.
Scenarios B and C:
B . Only one remote Availability Zone exists that needs the subnet extended: This scenario does not leverage the strengths of VTEP, as it is better suited for multiple zones. C . Connectivity between sites already does not provide encryption: Using VTEP without existing encryption is not ideal as VTEP itself does not encrypt the traffic. Conclusion: VTEP is advantageous when encryption is already in place and when multiple remote zones need to be connected to the same extended subnet.

An administrator is tasked with preparing the company's Azure subscription for use with NCZ.
Which two Azure Resource Providers need to be registered? (Choose two.)

  1. Microsoft.HybridNetwork
  2. Microsoft.Network
  3. Microsoft.Nutanix
  4. Microsoft.HybridCompute

Answer(s): B,C

Explanation:

Azure Resource Providers: To prepare an Azure subscription for NC2, specific resource providers must be registered to enable necessary services and resources.
Required Providers:
Microsoft.Network: This provider is essential for networking functionalities, including virtual networks, subnets, and other network resources necessary for NC2 deployment. Microsoft.Nutanix: This provider is specifically required for integrating and managing Nutanix resources within the Azure environment.
Other Providers:
Microsoft.HybridNetwork and Microsoft.HybridCompute: These are not specifically required for NC2 but might be relevant for other hybrid or extended network configurations. Conclusion: Registering both "Microsoft.Network" and "Microsoft.Nutanix" ensures that all necessary network and Nutanix-specific resources are available for NC2 deployment.

An administrator has been tasked with ensuring NC2 VMs are able to access Azure and on-premises resources. The NC2 VM traffic must not traverse the internet.
How can the administrator achieve this?

  1. By using an SSH connection
  2. By using an Interface Endpoint
  3. By using ExpressRoute
  4. By using a Site-to-Site VPN

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Requirement Analysis: The NC2 VMs need to access Azure and on-premises resources without traversing the internet, ensuring secure and direct connectivity.
Solution Options:
SSH Connection: Suitable for individual remote access, not for full VM connectivity to Azure and on- premises resources.

Interface Endpoint: Facilitates private connectivity to specific Azure services, but not comprehensive for all resources.
ExpressRoute: Provides private, dedicated connectivity between Azure and on-premises environments. This ensures that traffic does not traverse the public internet, meeting the security and performance requirements.
Site-to-Site VPN: Provides secure connectivity but can involve traversing the internet, which is against the requirements.
Conclusion: ExpressRoute is the optimal solution as it offers a private connection that does not involve internet traversal, ensuring secure and efficient access to both Azure and on-premises resources.

An administrator is trying to determine which type of DNS server to deploy for a networking infrastructure in Azure.
Which DNS server option would require either VPN or ExpressRoute connectivity?

  1. Cloudflare
  2. Azure
  3. On-premises
  4. Google

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

DNS Server Options:
Cloudflare: A public DNS service that operates over the internet. Azure: Azure DNS operates within the Azure cloud and does not require VPN or ExpressRoute for connectivity within Azure.
On-premises: Requires a secure connection, such as VPN or ExpressRoute, to be accessible from Azure, as it resides outside the Azure cloud.
Google: Another public DNS service accessible over the internet.
Connectivity Requirements:
On-premises DNS: To integrate on-premises DNS with Azure, secure connectivity (VPN or ExpressRoute) is necessary to ensure seamless and secure communication between the on-premises infrastructure and Azure resources.
Conclusion: An on-premises DNS server would require VPN or ExpressRoute connectivity to be accessible and integrated with the Azure environment.
