NetApp Certified Associate (NCA) — Question 18

Your organization currently has a containerized application running on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). You want to begin backing up your stateful application data and enable your development teams to easily create copies of the application for testing and staging.
In this scenario, which NetApp product would accomplish this goal?

Answer options

• A. Cloud Volumes ONTAP
• B. Astra
• C. Cloud Backup Service
• D. Cloud Manager

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Astra is specifically designed for managing and protecting stateful applications in Kubernetes environments, making it the ideal choice for backup and cloning functionalities. The other options, while useful in other contexts, do not directly provide the features necessary for managing Kubernetes-based applications in the same way Astra does.
