Nutanix Certified Professional - Cloud Native (NCP-CN-6.10) NCP-CN Exam Questions with Experts Answers Updated Recently

The NKPA course outlines the specifics of integrating Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with NKP, focusing on fleet management and the deployment architecture. The correct statements are:

Existing AKS clusters must be attached to the Management cluster (Option A):NKP does not provision AKS clusters directly because AKS is a managed Kubernetes service. Instead, NKP attaches existing AKS clusters to its management plane for centralized management. The Nutanix Cloud Native (NCP-CN) 6.10 Study Guide states: “For AKS integration, existing AKS clusters must be attached to the NKP Management cluster using the Attach Cluster functionality, as NKP does not provision AKS clusters.” This involves creating a service account with cluster-admin permissions in the AKS cluster and providing its kubeconfig to NKP.

NKP Management cluster with the Kommander component must be installed before installing NKP on AKS cluster (Option C):The Kommander component is part of the NKP Management cluster and provides the centralized management plane for fleet management, including AKS clusters. The NKPA course specifies that an NKP Management cluster with Kommander must be deployed before attaching or managing external clusters like AKS. The NCP-CN 6.10 Study Guide notes: “An NKP Management cluster with Kommander must be installed prior to integrating AKS clusters, as Kommander enables the fleet management capabilities for external clusters.”

Incorrect Options:

B. AKS best practices encourage building customized images: AKS best practices recommend using the default node images provided by Azure, which are optimized for AKS features like autoscaling and security. Custom images can lead to loss of functionality, as noted in previous questions (e.g., Q91).

D. AKS clusters can be deployed as Management or Pro NKP clusters: AKS clusters are attached, not deployed, by NKP. Additionally, AKS clusters cannot serve as NKP Management clusters; the Management cluster must be deployed on supported infrastructure like Nutanix AHV, AWS, or vSphere. “Pro NKP clusters” is not a valid term in NKP documentation—Pro refers to a license tier, not a cluster type.
