Nutanix Exam Risk Assessment & Management 4

Question 1

Which risk management framework is MOST commonly referenced when organizations align their Nutanix infrastructure controls with enterprise IT governance?

Accepted Answer

NIST Cybersecurity Framework

Answer

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is widely used to align IT infrastructure controls, including Nutanix deployments, with enterprise risk and governance requirements.

Question 2

In a Nutanix environment, which action BEST reduces the risk of a single point of failure for cluster management?

Accepted Answer

Deploying Prism Central in a scale-out (3-VM) configuration

Answer

Deploying Prism Central in a scale-out 3-VM configuration eliminates the single-VM Prism Central as a single point of failure for cluster management.

Question 3

A risk analysis shows that unauthorized lateral movement between application tiers is a top threat. Which Nutanix solution DIRECTLY mitigates this risk?

Accepted Answer

Nutanix Flow Network Security (microsegmentation)

Answer

Nutanix Flow Network Security uses microsegmentation to create security policies that restrict lateral movement between VMs and application tiers.

Question 4

What risk does enabling 'Rebuild Reservation' on a Nutanix cluster mitigate?

Accepted Answer

Risk that a node failure leaves insufficient capacity to re-replicate all data

Answer

Rebuild Reservation reserves enough cluster capacity so that if a node fails, remaining nodes have space to re-replicate all data and restore the required replication factor.

Question 5

During patch management risk assessment, what is the SAFEST approach to applying AOS (Acropolis Operating System) upgrades on a production Nutanix cluster?

Accepted Answer

Use rolling upgrade (one node at a time) during off-peak hours

Answer

Rolling upgrades (one node at a time) ensure the cluster remains available throughout the process, minimizing risk to production workloads.
