Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) — Question 49

A blueprint service needs to use scaling. The requirements are:
Windows 2019 VM (12 vCPU, 24 GB memory, 500 GB volume)
Minimum VMs needed at any time and at time of deployment is 2 VMs
VMs should not exceed the project quota of 100 vCPUs or 300 GB of memory
There are no other services in use within the project
Which scaling VM replica settings meet all requirements?

Answer options

• A. MIN: 2, MAX: 11, Default: 2
• B. MIN: 2, MAX: 7, Default: 2
• C. MIN: 2, MAX: 10, Default: 1
• D. MIN: 2, MAX: 8, Default: 1

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Option D is correct because it maintains the minimum requirement of 2 VMs, allows for a maximum of 8 VMs, and keeps the default at 1, ensuring compliance with the project quota of 100 vCPUs and 300 GB memory. The other options either exceed the maximum allowed resources or do not align with the minimum and maximum scaling limits effectively.
