NVIDIA NCP-AAI Exam Actual Questions
Agentic AI (Page 11 )

• What it’s asking: In an ARM template, for an Availability Set, what value should you set for the property platformFaultDomainCount to maximize availability during fabric failures or maintenance?

• Key concept: Fault domains are groups of hardware that can fail independently. By spreading VMs across more fault domains, you reduce the risk that a single hardware fault takes out many VMs.

• Important detail: For managed Availability Sets, the number of fault domains you can use varies by region — typically 2 or 3.

• What to choose: Set platformFaultDomainCount to the maximum supported in your region. In most regions this is 3, which gives you the best resilience. If your region only supports 2, you’d use 2.

• Answer: 3 (Max Value). In ARM template syntax, this would appear as "platformFaultDomainCount": 3 (within the Availability Set resource).

• Answer: C — 192.168.0.0/25 as summary and 192.168.0.0/27 for each floor

• Why:

• Answer: B — Improve employee training and awareness

• Why this is correct:

• Why the other options are less effective here:

• Quick practical note:

• TCP is connection-oriented. It establishes a connection before data transfer using a three-way handshake (SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK), enabling reliable delivery, ordering, and flow control.

• UDP is connectionless. It sends datagrams without a prior connection and provides no guarantee of delivery, order, or protection against duplicates; any reliability is up to the application.

• B incorrectly states UDP uses acknowledgment packets; UDP has no built-in ACKs.
• C wrongly claims UDP provides reliable transfer and that TCP is connectionless.
• D misstates framing bits; neither protocol uses the listed TCP/UDP handshake bits in frames.

• Failed login attempts
• The account being targeted
• The source user or system
• Time and frequency of attempts

• Two-factor authentication: Helps prevent unauthorized access, but does not primarily detect the employee’s attempts.
• Firewall: Controls network traffic; it generally does not monitor individual login attempts.
• Intrusion prevention system (IPS): Can detect certain network attacks, but this scenario is best addressed through authentication and audit logging.

• What D means: In Security Command Center (SCC), a posture combines both preventative controls (predefined and custom organization policies) and detective controls (predefined and custom Security Health Analytics [SHA] modules). Scope this posture to the business unit folder to enforce those controls across the Vertex AI environment.

• Why this is correct: You need both preventative guardrails (policies) and detective guardrails (SHA findings) to meet internal security requirements. A posture provides a unified, scalable way to apply and monitor these controls to a specific organizational unit.

• Why the other options are weaker:

• If you want, I can break down the exact components of a SCC posture and how to apply it to a Vertex AI project.

• If the account name includes the parsed search string, show the element; otherwise hide it.
• In CSS, to show an element you can set display to a visible value (commonly 'block' for block-level elements), and to hide you set display to 'none'.

• The ternary should map true to a visible display value and false to 'none'.
• Therefore the placeholder should be replaced with 'block' : 'none' (so the code becomes: accountName.includes(parsedSearchString) ? 'block' : 'none').

• There are several typos in the snippet (e.g., quesrySelectorAll, toLOwerCase, Style.display). In a working version you’d also fix those to document.querySelectorAll, account.innerHTML.toLowerCase(), and account.style.display.

• Assign a Teams license to a user — Licenses are assigned through the Microsoft 365 admin center, Microsoft Entra ID, or PowerShell.
• Deploy the Teams client — The Teams admin center manages Teams policies and apps, but it is not the primary tool for deploying the desktop client.
• Prevent users from creating teams — Team creation depends on controlling the creation of Microsoft 365 groups, generally configured through Microsoft Entra ID and PowerShell rather than directly in the Teams admin center.

• The correct answer: C. Tokenization

• Why:

• Why the others are weaker:

• S3 Lifecycle rules automate actions such as transitioning objects to different storage classes or deleting old objects.
• S3 bucket policies control access permissions; they do not preserve earlier object versions.
• S3 server-side encryption protects data confidentiality by encrypting objects at rest, but it does not prevent deletion or overwriting.

• Accidental deletion or overwriting ? S3 Versioning
• Unauthorized access ? bucket policies and IAM
• Data encryption ? server-side encryption

• Network Security Groups (NSGs) control network traffic to and from Azure resources.
• By applying NSGs to the web tier and the database tier (subnets or NICs), you can:

• NSGs provide the necessary granularity (source/destination, port, protocol) to enforce the desired traffic patterns between tiers.
• For easier management you can use separate subnets for each tier or, optionally, use Application Security Groups to simplify rule management.

• Use a field on Account to show the aggregated yearly shipments (a Roll-Up Summary).
• A Master-Detail relationship between Shipment and Account is required for Roll-Up Summary to work (and to ensure access is governed by the parent Account).
• OWD and the relationship type determine what users can see. If you want to restrict shipment-level access while still showing a summary on Account, Private OWD on Shipment plus Master-Detail helps, because access to shipments is controlled by the Account record.

• A (Public OWD on Shipment with Process Builder and a Lookup to Account): Not ideal. Public access would expose shipments broadly, and a lookup cannot support a built-in roll-up summary.
• B (Private OWD on Shipment, Roll-Up Summary, Master-Detail to Account): Best answer. Private shipments, but because of Master-Detail, access and the roll-up are tied to the Account. The Account can show the yearly total via a Roll-Up Summary field.
• C (Controlled by Parent on Shipment, Trigger, Master-Detail): Master-Detail is correct, but using a trigger is unnecessary for a straightforward roll-up; roll-ups are the standard, maintainable solution.
• D (Private OWD on Shipment, Trigger, Lookup to Account): More complex and not as efficient; no automatic roll-up, and lookup breaks the ease of summarizing by Account.

• Answer: No

• Salesforce search results are filtered by the current user's permissions and sharing rules. This is part of the security model at the record level.
• If two users have different profiles, permission sets, or sharing access, they may see different records in the results for the same keyword.
• If both users have identical access, their results should be the same; differences arise from differences in visibility rather than the search itself.

• Answer:

• Why:

• Why the other centers aren’t the right fit here:

• Basic: Self-help only; no technical support or design assessment.
• Developer/Standard: Technical support, but generally not the full proactive architecture guidance required here.
• Professional Direct: Includes proactive guidance and architecture recommendations.
• Premier: Also supports this, but is not the minimum-cost option.

• The two correct options are:

• The two incorrect options:

• Correct answer: A. Inbound data transfer from the internet

• Why: AWS does not charge for data transferred into AWS from the internet. Inbound data transfer is free, regardless of the amount (in this case, 2 TB). The other options involve data leaving AWS or moving between AWS regions/AZs, which incur costs:

• Context: You’ve enabled auditing in Dataverse and need to trim audit data to free storage. The question asks which deletion options you can use.

• What the options typically mean:

• About the provided answer (A, C, D): The list includes “by column,” which isn’t a typical or supported way to purge audit data. The more plausible trio is A (by record), B (date range), and C (by table older than date). If the exam expects A, C, D, that seems incorrect or mis-stated in the source.

• Practical takeaway: To reduce audit storage, use per-record deletions, per-table purge by date, and/or date-range deletions as supported by the environment’s audit management UI or admin docs.

• In the source query: apply UPPER() or LOWER() to the column.
• In Power Query Editor: use Text.Upper or Text.Lower on the column, then load.

• This fixes the root cause when comparisons/joins depend on case.
• In DirectQuery, transformations are pushed to the source or query layer; ensure the transformation is supported by your data source/connector.
• After normalization, verify relationships and any downstream visuals that rely on that column.

• In Azure, the typical cost approach for pay-as-you-go VMs is an Operational Expenditure (OPEX) model. You’re billed for actual usage each month.
• The term “elastic expenditure model” isn’t a standard Azure cost category. Elasticity describes scaling capacity, not the billing category itself.
• So recommending the elastic expenditure model is not correct for this goal.

• The solution does not meet the goal. Answer: No (B).

• Pay-as-you-go aligns with OPEX because costs vary with usage.
• Elasticity is about scaling resources, which affects performance and capacity, not the fundamental cost model.

Why B works

• AWS KMS keys are Regional resources. A normal customer managed key in Region A cannot be used directly in Region B.
• A customer managed multi-Region KMS key (MRK) has related key replicas in both Regions. The replicas share key material and key ID, although each has a Regional ARN.
• With client-side encryption, the application encrypts the data before storing it in S3. Cross-Region replication then copies already-encrypted objects, so S3 does not need to decrypt and re-encrypt them with a different Regional key.

Why the other choices are weaker

• A and C: SSE-S3 uses Amazon-managed S3 keys, not the required customer managed KMS key.
• D: SSE-KMS can work only if the solution creates and configures the appropriate KMS key or multi-Region key replica in each Region. As written, it says to create a customer managed KMS key in each Region, which implies separate keys—not the same KMS key. Replication also requires additional KMS permissions and destination encryption configuration.

• cloud applications only
• all Web traffic including cloud applications

• Cloud applications only: Only traffic to cloud apps is steered to Netskope for inspection/enforcement; other traffic bypasses.
• All Web traffic including cloud applications: All web-bound traffic, including cloud app traffic, is steered to Netskope.

• Browser isolation, Web traffic only, or a vague “traffic only” option are not the standard two steering modes.
• These two configurations let you decide what traffic Netskope analyzes in real time and what is bypassed.

• The “Answer(s)” field lists B and C (likely incorrect). The explanatory text correctly describes cloud applications only and all Web traffic including cloud applications as the two configurations.

• The problem: Guest users can’t create posts in the Monthly Reports channel.
• The recommended fix (answer B): Modify the Guest access settings in the Teams admin center.

• Guest access settings control what guests are allowed to do across Teams (for example, posting, chat, and channel participation). If guests are restricted from posting, enabling the appropriate guest permissions will let them post in channels like Monthly Reports.
• The other options don’t directly change guest permissions in the way that affects posting:

• Batch processing, such as scheduled data transformations
• Streaming processing, such as continuously ingesting events

• Manipulating data with multiple languages: Mainly a benefit of Databricks and Spark.
• Real-time notebook collaboration: A workspace/notebook feature.
• Alerts for query failures: A Databricks SQL or job-monitoring feature.
• Distributing complex operations: Primarily a Spark compute capability.

• A. Configure prompt modifications to enforce tone, disclaimers, and refusal behavior at the system level.

• D. Configure Power Platform DLP policies to restrict unauthorized data connectors.

• B: Manual topic-by-topic disclaimer edits are specifically discouraged.
• C: Channel settings do not replace agent-level Responsible AI controls.
• E: Publishing before enabling safety filters violates the stated deployment sequence. Responsible AI filters should be enabled before publication, not afterward.

• A — IDS attack signatures: An IDS generally detects suspicious network activity but does not necessarily scan uploaded PDF files or prevent them from being accepted.
• C — Load balancer: Distributes traffic among servers; it does not inspect files for malware.
• D — WAF command-injection blocking: A WAF can help block web attacks such as command injection, SQL injection, and cross-site scripting, but this option does not specifically address malicious PDF uploads.

• wyjasnic istniejace pytania z tej strony,
• wskazac, dlaczego dana odpowiedz jest poprawna lub bledna (z uwzglednieniem celów egzaminu),
• omówic koncepcje zwiazane z Google Cloud AI.

• The standard Enterprise Architecture domains are: Business, Data, Application, Technology (BDAT).

• A: Business, strategy, application and technology — includes business and application/tech but uses “strategy” instead of data.
• B: Zachman, TOGAF, Cobit, and Heath architectures — names frameworks, not domains.
• C: Business, data, infrastructure and technology — has business, data, and technology; lacks a distinct application domain (uses “infrastructure” instead).
• D: Process, database, software and technology — covers data (database), application (software), and technology, but omits business.

• The four BDAT domains (business, data, application, technology) is the conventional model you should study.
• None of the options perfectly lists all four BDAT domains. The closest are C (if you map infrastructure to technology) and D (data/application/technology but no business).

• Basic support does not include architectural/design assessments.
• Premier support includes advisory services such as architectural reviews/design assessments.

• The solution (subscribe to Premier support) does meet the goal. The correct choice should be Yes (A).
• The provided answer key showing B (No) is likely incorrect for current Azure support plans.

• Side loading means installing software from sources outside official or trusted repositories.
• This process can bring in malicious payloads because the installed software hasn’t been vetted. A rootkit is a type of malware that hides its presence and maintains privileged access, making it a prime risk when using untrusted sources.
• Why not the other options:

• Only install apps from trusted sources; verify signatures.
• Use application whitelisting and security controls to block sideloading.
• Keep systems updated and use anti-malware tools capable of detecting rootkits.

• Correct options: C and D.

• The AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) security perspective focuses on capabilities to protect information and manage security risk.
• Observability (A) is primarily an operations/monitoring capability, not a core security capability under CAF.
• Incident and problem management (B) is IT service management/operations, not specifically a CAF security capability.
• Incident response (C) is a security-focused capability: detecting, containing, and recovering from security incidents.
• Infrastructure protection (D) involves applying security controls to protect the underlying infrastructure, which fits the security perspective.

• The Accrue liability on product receipt flag controls whether a liability is accrued and posted at the time of receiving the item.
• If this checkbox is unchecked, receipts won’t create postings to the Product receipt journal. Enabling it ensures the system posts inventory value and the vendor liability when the item is received.

• Go to the Item model group setup form.
• Enable (check) Accrue liability on product receipt.
• Save.

• The other option, Include physical value, affects how physical value is handled but is not the direct cause of postings to the product receipt journal. If issues persist after enabling accrual, you may need to verify related posting definitions or journal setup.

• Basic: Self-help only; no technical support or design assessment.
• Standard: Technical support, but not the full proactive architectural guidance required here.
• Professional Direct: Provides proactive guidance and architecture-related assistance.
• Premier: Also supports this, but is a more expensive, enterprise-level option.

• Answer: No.

• Why: Microsoft Managed Desktop (MD) is a managed service for end-user desktops (Windows devices used by people), not a service for provisioning, managing, or lifecycle-managing large fleets of virtual machines. It won’t help automate weekly creation and deletion of many VMs, especially with mixed OS (Windows and Linux).

• Relevant concept: To reduce administrative effort for rapidly provisioning and tearing down VMs, an Azure service like Azure DevTest Labs is appropriate. DevTest Labs lets you:

• Takeaway: The proposed solution (MD) does not meet the goal; the correct approach is to use a lab-oriented service such as Azure DevTest Labs for frequent, ephemeral VM deployments.

cmd 
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\Scripts\Configure-VM.ps1

• GPO logon script: Runs only when a user logs on, so configuration may be delayed and is user-dependent.
• GPO startup script: Can work, but requires the VMs to be domain-joined and introduces GPO dependency. It is not specifically tied to Windows deployment.
• Place scripts in a VHD: Merely makes the files available; it does not execute them.

• Correct answer: only new data added to the eventhouse (option E).
• Why: When you enable OneLake availability for the eventhouse, OneLake starts syncing data going forward. It does not automatically backfill or copy over data that already exists in the eventhouse before the enablement.
• What that means in practice: Any data added to the eventhouse after you enable OneLake will appear in OneLake (and be visible from OneLake file explorer). Pre-existing data in the eventhouse stays there unless you perform a separate backfill/copy operation outside the standard OneLake enablement.
• How to verify: add a small new dataset to the eventhouse after enabling OneLake availability, then check OneLake to confirm the new dataset appears.

• State is stored remotely in Terraform Cloud/Enterprise, not as a local file.
• Terraform runs (plan/apply) can be executed on remote infrastructure, with results visible in the remote workspace UI.
• Supports workspace-based organization, state locking, and concurrency control.
• Useful for team collaboration, centralized governance, and auditable logs.

• In your configuration, you use a backend block like backend "remote" { ... }.
• You still run terraform init to configure/migrate to the remote backend.
• After setup, terraform plan/terraform apply may be executed remotely, and the outputs/logs appear in the Terraform Cloud/Enterprise UI rather than (only) in your local terminal.

• Other backends store state remotely but typically do not provide remote execution; with the remote backend you get remote runs and a collaborative UI, not just remote state storage.

• Event | search "error"
• Event | where EventType == "error"
• search in (Event) "error"

• Approval publish: Request approval from a manager of the knowledge base before moving the article into the publish state.
• Instant Publish: Immediately publishes a draft article without requiring an approval.
• Instant Retire: Immediately retires a published article without requiring an approval.
• Retire Knowledge: Moves a knowledge article to the retired state.

• These are the base knowledge workflows that control how articles move between states (Draft, Published, Retired) and whether approvals are required.
• The other options describe different lifecycle actions, but these four cover the standard publish/retire workflows in ServiceNow.

• The diagnostic output shows that the protocol is TCP (proto=6) and the session state is 2.
• In FortiGate’s session output, state=2 maps to SYN_SENT. This means the TCP SYN has been sent but the handshake hasn’t completed yet.
• Therefore, the session is not ESTABLISHED, FIN/ACK-related states, or other states; it’s in SYN_SENT.

• Correct answer: C — The model is deployed at UK border checkpoints.

• The EU AI Act applies to AI systems used within the EU or by entities established in the EU. So:

• Correct answer: B — A reservation for the server based on the MAC address.

• Why this is the best choice:

• Why the other options are less suitable:

• Quick takeaway: Use a DHCP reservation to give the file server a fixed IP while still benefiting from centralized DHCP management.

• MFA verifies a user’s identity using additional authentication factors, such as a phone prompt or security token.
• It helps prevent unauthorized access even if a password is compromised.
• It does not provide secure storage or encryption of credentials used during automated deployment.

• Cutover: The old system is replaced immediately. It may be fast, but any failure can cause significant disruption.
• Phased: The system is introduced in stages, which reduces implementation risk but may prolong the transition.
• Pilot: The system is first deployed to a limited group or location. This is useful for testing but does not necessarily minimize downtime for the entire organization.

• On-prem you generalize and capture the VM as a VHD.
• Upload the VHD to Azure with Add-AzVhd.
• Register the VHD as an image in Azure with Add-AzImage (or New-AzImage) so it appears as a selectable image.
• Create new VMs from that image (e.g., with New-AzVM -Image ...).

• A. IDS attack signatures: An IDS primarily detects suspicious network activity and usually alerts rather than directly scanning and blocking uploaded files.
• C. Load balancer: Distributes traffic among servers but does not inspect files for malware.
• D. WAF: Protects web applications from attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and some malicious requests. It is not primarily a PDF-malware scanning solution.

• The target API uses HTTPS, so Mule must validate the server’s TLS certificate.
• The TLS configuration is set to None, meaning no custom truststore is configured.
• Mule therefore uses the JRE’s default truststore to determine whether the target certificate is trusted.
• If the issuing CA certificate is in that truststore, the TLS handshake can succeed.
• If it is absent—or the certificate is otherwise invalid—the request fails with a TLS/handshake error.

• ProductSearchModel.getProductSearchHits() — option C
• ProductSearchHit.getRepresentedProducts() — option B

• ProductMgr.queryAllSiteProducts() (A) queries every product in the site, which is heavy and not scalable for large catalogs.
• Category.getProducts() (D) retrieves all products in a category; this can be slow for large categories.
• Using the search model and hits (B and C) leverages the search index, supports paging, and avoids scanning the entire catalog, making it more scalable.

• Review the risk register.
• Use the previously defined risk response plan, such as assigning a backup resource, reprioritizing work, or using another qualified engineer.
• Implement the response promptly because the task is on the critical path.

• B: Revising the schedule without first applying the planned response may be premature.
• C: Excluding a required task could compromise the project’s objectives and requirements.
• D: Updating the risk and lessons learned records is appropriate, but it should happen after managing the immediate issue, not as the next primary action.

• VMs without NGT: Not clearly a migration blocker on its own; NGT (Nutanix Guest Tools) status isn’t the typical gating factor for live migration during maintenance.
• VMs marked as an Agent: Not a standard, widely-known migration blocker; agents aren’t the typical reason a VM can’t be migrated.
• Memory Overcommitted VMs: While memory pressure can affect placement, memory overcommitment isn’t a fundamental reason a VM would be labeled non-migratable during maintenance.
• VMs with attached Volume Groups: This is the strongest candidate. A Volume Group is a set of volumes bound to a VM; moving the VM would entail relocating and reattaching those volumes, which can complicate or block live migration during maintenance.
