The Era One-Click Provisioning service in Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) simplifies and automates database administration. It brings one-click simplicity to database provisioning and life-cycle management. This service enables database administrators to provision, clone, and refresh the database clones to any point in time1. Specifically, it enables the creation of space-efficient clones and zero-byte database clones1. This is part of Era's copy data management service, which includes components like Time Machine, one-click cloning and refresh, and one-click backup21.

I'm tempted by Option D, but mounting an iSCSI LUN just sounds like a lot of extra steps. Why not keep it simple with NDB?

I'd go with Option A. The scaling abilities of NDB should make it easy to resize the existing vDisks and expand the database.

I'm not sure, I think creating a new, larger database and migrating might be a better option for scalability.

Option B makes the most sense to me. Scaling existing vDisks is the most efficient way to increase the database size without having to migrate data or add new hardware.
