Nutanix Certified Associate (NCA) — Question 39

An administrator is deploying a virtual firewall on each node in an AHV cluster and wants each VM to maintain affinity to its host.
How can an administrator achieve this goal most efficiently?

Answer options

• A. Create VM Protection Policies
• B. Set the VM labels as firewalls
• C. Create VM Annotations
• D. Set the VMs as Agent VMs

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Setting the VMs as Agent VMs is the most efficient way to maintain VM affinity to their hosts, as this configuration directly ties the VM's lifecycle to the host. The other options, while potentially useful in different contexts, do not specifically address the requirement for host affinity in the same direct manner.
