Course overview
About this course
In the Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on AWS Administration course, you will explore how you can unify your private and public clouds for a true, hybrid cloud experience.
Starting with an introduction to NC2 and the NC2 console, you will learn key technology concepts and how to work with various entities such as customers, organizations, clusters, and users.
Next, you will explore the cluster deployment process and review the configuration of different Amazon Web Services (AWS) components that must be configured for NC2, such as service quotas, Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), subnets, gateways, route tables, security groups, and so on.
Note that setting up and configuring AWS resources is beyond the scope of this course. However, you will review and understand key AWS cloud resources that are required for the deployment of NC2.
After you have successfully deployed a cluster, you will learn to manage a cloud cluster, including creating virtual machines (VMs) and networks, configuring backup and recovery, and implementing Cluster Protect. One key benefit of NC2 is that your cloud cluster looks and feels like an on-prem AHV cluster, so you can expect to quickly ease into administering NC2.
Finally, you will explore several monitoring and maintenance concepts and features, including alerts and events, investigating issues, performing upgrades, and engaging with Nutanix support.
