Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) — Question 36

An administrator at a busy software development company is looking to roll out Calm for automation and estimates they will be creating 200 Projects, 500 Runbooks, 1500 Blueprints and automating the deployment of 7500 VMs for their development teams.
What size of Prism Central VM(s) is recommended to host the Calm environment?

Answer options

• A. 3 nodes Large - 10vCPU and 52GB Memory per node.
• B. 1 node Small - 6vCPU and 30GB Memory per node.
• C. 3 nodes Small - 6vCPU and 30GB Memory per node.
• D. 1 node Large - 10vCPU and 52GB Memory per node.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a larger configuration with 3 nodes, each having 10vCPU and 52GB Memory, is necessary to handle the high workload of 200 Projects, 500 Runbooks, and 7500 VMs. Options B and C do not provide sufficient resources, while option D, although large, only has 1 node which may not be resilient enough for the expected load.
