An administrator is planning to expand an NC2 on Azure cluster.
Which statement is true regarding prerequisites for expanding the cluster?

Correct Answer:C
✑ Cluster State Requirement: To expand a cluster, it must be operational and in a connected state to ensure seamless integration of additional nodes.
✑ Cluster Stopped State: If the cluster is stopped, it cannot perform expansion operations.
✑ Minimum Nodes Requirement: There is no minimum node count prerequisite for expanding the cluster as long as the cluster is connected.
✑ Cluster Connected State: Ensuring the cluster is connected verifies that it is operational and can communicate with additional nodes being added.
✑ Conclusion: The cluster must be in a Cluster Connected state to expand successfully.

An administrator is deploying an NC2 cluster in Azure and observes on NC2 console that nodes will not progress and continue in a Booting state.
What is the most likely cause for the node not continuing to deploy?

Correct Answer:C
✑ Azure Subscription Validation: When deploying an NC2 cluster, the Azure subscription must be validated and allowlisted by Microsoft. This is a crucial step to ensure that the necessary permissions and configurations are set up for the deployment.
✑ Booting State Issue: If the nodes are stuck in the Booting state, it often indicates that the subscription has not been properly validated and allowlisted. This prevents the deployment from progressing as required resources and permissions are not fully accessible.
✑ Checking Allowlisting Status: Administrators should verify that their subscription has been allowlisted by contacting Azure support or checking the status through the Azure portal.
✑ Resolution: Once the subscription is validated and allowlisted by Microsoft, the deployment should proceed without the nodes getting stuck in the Booting state.

An administrator is tasked with providing User VMs in Azure that are hosted within a Flow NAT network outbound internet connectivity.
In which order would the traffic flow through each component?

Correct Answer:D
✑ User VM:The initial source of the traffic within the Azure environment.
✑ Delegated Subnet:Traffic from the User VM flows through the delegated subnet, which is configured to handle specific network traffic.
✑ Flow Gateway:The Flow Gateway manages and routes the traffic from the delegated subnet, providing network services and connectivity.
✑ Floating IP Address:The Flow Gateway assigns a floating IP address for the outbound traffic, facilitating NAT operations.
✑ Azure NAT Gateway:The traffic is then routed through the Azure NAT Gateway, which provides outbound internet connectivity for the User VMs, ensuring secure
and efficient routing.
