NCP-CN Exam Dumps : Nutanix Certified Professional - Cloud Native (NCP-CN-6.10)

The NKPA course explains that by default, NKP creates new AWS infrastructure (VPC, subnets, ELBs) when deploying a cluster on AWS. However, NKP supports deploying clusters on existing AWS infrastructure by providing custom configurations. The recommended method using the NKP CLI is tocreate an overrides filespecifying the pre-existing VPC, subnets, and ELB, and then pass this file to the nkp create cluster aws command using the --overrides parameter.

The overrides file (e.g., aws-infra-overrides.yaml) contains details like vpcID, subnetIDs, and loadBalancerIDs, which NKP uses to deploy the cluster on the specified infrastructure instead of creating new resources. For example:

yaml

aws:

vpcID: vpc-12345678

subnetIDs:

- subnet-12345678

- subnet-87654321

loadBalancerIDs:

- elb-12345678

The engineer then runs: nkp create cluster aws --overrides aws-infra-overrides.yaml.

The Nutanix Cloud Native (NCP-CN) 6.10 Study Guide states: “To deploy an NKP cluster on existing AWS infrastructure, create an overrides file with the pre-existing VPC, subnets, and ELB details, and use the --overrides parameter with the nkp create cluster aws command to apply the custom configuration.” This method ensures the AWS team’s requirement is met while leveraging NKP’s CLI for deployment.

Incorrect Options:

A. nkp adopt infrastructure aws: There is no nkp adopt infrastructure command in NKP for this purpose.

C. Use the NKP UI: While the UI allows specifying infrastructure details, the question focuses on the CLI-based deployment, and the UI method is less relevant here.

D. Include parameters directly in nkp create cluster aws: The nkp create cluster aws command does not support direct parameters for VPC, subnets, and ELB; it requires an overrides file.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

The correct procedure for deleting an NKP cluster involves using the nkp delete cluster command with the appropriate cluster name and namespace. This ensures that not only the Kubernetes resources but also the corresponding NKP resources (e.g., nodepools, Kommander integration) are deleted cleanly and consistently. Simply deleting the VMs does not clean up the associated NKP management objects. This approach is detailed in the NKP documentation for cluster lifecycle management, emphasizing the need to use the provided CLI commands for full removal.

As per theNKPA 6.10 documentationunder “NKP Insights Prerequisites”, one of the essential requirements for deploying NKP Insights is thatcert-manageris installed and properly configured in the target workload cluster. Cert-manager provides the necessary certificates for secure communication and observability between the cluster components and the NKP Insights platform.

The documentation specifies:

“NKP Insights requires cert-manager to be installed on the target workload cluster. If cert-manager is not enabled, the cluster will be shown as unavailable (grayed out) for NKP Insights deployment.”

Without cert-manager, the Insights operator cannot validate or securely deploy its components, resulting in the cluster being unavailable for selection during the Insights enablement process.
