To support Nutanix's native Local Key Manager (LKM) for data encryption in a cost-effective manner, a minimum of three nodes is required. This ensures that there is enough redundancy and reliability for the encryption services to function properly, complying with best practices for distributed key management.

To add an AWS account to the NC2 console, an AWS IAM user needs to be configured with the appropriate permissions to manage the EC2 resources. The required permission for the IAM user includes full access to manage EC2 instances, volumes, and related resources.

AmazonEC2FullAccess:

This permission grants full access to all EC2 resources, including the ability to create, modify, and delete instances, volumes, security groups, and more.

Essential for NC2 operations to manage the lifecycle of EC2 instances and associated components within the AWS environment.

Why Not Other Permissions:

IAMFullAccess: Grants full access to IAM resources but not specifically needed for EC2 operations.

IAMReadOnlyAccess: Only provides read access to IAM resources, insufficient for managing EC2 instances.

AmazonEC2ReadOnlyAccess: Provides read-only access to EC2 resources, insufficient for creating or modifying instances and other resources.

For AOS software support related to NC2, the appropriate entity to contact is Nutanix. Nutanix provides comprehensive support for their software, including the Acropolis Operating System (AOS) used in NC2 deployments.

Support Scope:

Nutanix offers support for the deployment, configuration, and management of NC2 clusters, including any issues related to AOS software.

This includes troubleshooting, updates, and technical assistance.

Why Not Other Options:

Internal IT Operations team: Typically handles internal issues but does not have the specialized knowledge or resources for AOS software support.

Partner: May provide support but would ultimately escalate issues to Nutanix for software-specific concerns.

Public Cloud Vendor: Manages infrastructure-related issues but does not provide support for Nutanix AOS software.

The exhibit indicates a replication operation with specific details about the protection domain, remote site, and snapshot. Key points to note are:

Bytes Completed: 0 bytes completed.

Complete Percent: 0.0%

Paused: false

Aborted: false

Given these details:

No ongoing replication: The operation has started, but there is no progress in terms of bytes completed or percentage completed. Since the status shows 0 bytes and 0 percent completed, it indicates that no data has been replicated yet.
