Topic #: 3
A Platform Engineer is looking to backup and restore persistent volumes and other cluster resources. Which two NKP licenses include backup and restore functionality? (Choose two.)
Suggested Answer: C,D Vote an answer
The NKPA course details that backup and restore functionality in NKP is provided through integration with Velero, which supports backing up persistent volumes, cluster resources, and application data to S3- compatible storage. This functionality is considered an advanced feature and is included in higher-tier NKP licenses: NKP Ultimate and NKP Pro.
* NKP Ultimate: This top-tier license includes all NKP features, such as air-gapped deployments, fleet management, and backup/restore capabilities. It is designed for enterprise-grade environments requiring comprehensive disaster recovery.
* NKP Pro: This mid-tier license also includes backup and restore functionality, catering to organizations needing robust data protection but not necessarily all the features of the Ultimate tier (e.g., air-gapped support).
The Nutanix Cloud Native (NCP-CN) 6.10 Study Guide states: "Backup and restore functionality, powered by Velero, is available in NKP Pro and NKP Ultimate license tiers, enabling protection of persistent volumes and cluster resources." These licenses provide the necessary tools and support for configuring Velero with S3- compatible storage, scheduling backups, and performing restores in production environments.
Incorrect Options:
* A. NKP Starter: The Starter tier is entry-level and does not include advanced features like backup and restore. It focuses on basic cluster management.
* B. NKP Essential: This tier, if it exists in NKP's licensing model, would be a lower tier and unlikely to include backup/restore functionality, as it is not mentioned in the NKPA course.
