Nutanix Exam NCP-MCI-6.10 Topic 1 Question 7 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-MCI-6.10 exam

Question #: 7
Topic #: 1

The customer expects to maintain a cluster runway of 9 months. The customer doesn't have a budget for 6 months but they want to add new workloads to the existing cluster.

Based on the exhibit, what is required to meet the customer's budgetary timeframe?

AAdd resources to the cluster.

BPostpone the start of new workloads.

CDelete workloads running on the cluster.

DChange the target to 9 months.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The exhibit shows that the overall runway is only 66 days, meaning that the current cluster does not have enough capacity to sustain workloads for 6 months, let alone 9 months.

The best solution is to add resources to the cluster (Option A), such as CPU, memory, or storage, to extend the runway.

Postponing new workloads (Option B) may help in the short term but does not align with the business need to continue adding workloads.

Deleting workloads (Option C) is not a viable option because the customer wants to add more, not remove them.

Changing the target to 9 months (Option D) does not change the actual resource constraints; it only alters the target timeframe.

I think we should add resources to the cluster to meet the customer's budgetary timeframe.
