Authentic Nutanix Certification Exam NCP-CN Questions Answers

As per the NKPA 6.10 documentation under “NKP Insights Prerequisites”, one of the essential requirements for deploying NKP Insights is that cert-manager is installed and properly configured in the target workload cluster. Cert-manager provides the necessary certificates for secure communication and observability between the cluster components and the NKP Insights platform.

The documentation specifies:

“NKP Insights requires cert-manager to be installed on the target workload cluster. If cert-manager is not enabled, the cluster will be shown as unavailable (grayed out) for NKP Insights deployment.”

Without cert-manager, the Insights operator cannot validate or securely deploy its components, resulting in the cluster being unavailable for selection during the Insights enablement process.

Continuous Deployment (CD) is the practice of automatically deploying new software releases across environments after a successful build and testing phase. In the context of NKP, enabling CD ensures that software changes are consistently and reliably rolled out to all clusters associated with a project, ensuring operational uniformity and rapid feature adoption.

According to the NKPA 6.10 documentation under “Air-Gapped Preparation with Konvoy Image Builder,” the konvoy-image upload command uploads essential artifacts to the target servers to prepare them to serve as cluster nodes. These artifacts include:

Container runtime (containerd)

OS bundle

Kubernetes components

It does not involve user creation or OS hardening scripts (those are separate, client-driven processes).

Key reference from documentation:

“The konvoy-image upload command uploads the required artifacts to the target server(s) to prepare them for Kubernetes deployment in air-gapped environments. This includes the container runtime, OS bundle, and Kubernetes binaries.”
