A financial services firm is architecting a hybrid cloud solution using Azure NetApp Files (ANF) for a high-performance computing (HPC) workload. To comply with security policies, all traffic between the Azure-based compute cluster and the ANF volumes must be isolated from the public internet and optimized for latency. Which networking configuration is the most effective design to meet these requirements?
An enterprise is deploying a Cloud Volumes ONTAP HA pair in a single AWS Region across two Availability Zones (AZs) for a business-critical application. During a failover test, the application team reports that NFSv3 clients are losing their connections and require manual intervention to remount the shares on the new node. What is the most likely cause of this issue?
A security architect is designing a multi-tiered access control policy for a large hybrid cloud environment managed by BlueXP. The requirements are to grant different levels of permissions to Storage Admins, Backup Operators, and Auditors. Which TWO BlueXP features are essential for implementing this principle of least privilege? (Select TWO)
During a security audit, it was discovered that a Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance holding sensitive financial data in AWS has NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE) enabled, but it is using the default built-in key manager. The auditor requires that all encryption keys be managed externally by the customer. What is the most direct and secure method to meet this new requirement?
An architect is designing a data lifecycle management strategy for a large-scale analytics platform built on an on-premises AFF A-series cluster. The goal is to automatically move cold data blocks from the high-performance SSD aggregate to a cost-effective object storage tier in Google Cloud Storage. The solution must be transparent to the applications accessing the data via NFS. Which NetApp technology should be implemented?
A global media company is designing a multi-cloud architecture for content distribution. They plan to use Cloud Volumes ONTAP in AWS for primary data processing and want to replicate key datasets to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for regional access and disaster recovery. The replication must be efficient, secure, and managed through NetApp's native toolset. Which architectural components are required to achieve this? ```mermaid graph TD subgraph AWS Region CVO_AWS[Cloud Volumes ONTAP] end subgraph GCP Region CVO_GCP[Cloud Volumes ONTAP] end CVO_AWS -- SnapMirror --> CVO_GCP Internet((Internet)) -- Secure VPN/Interconnect --> CVO_AWS Internet -- Secure VPN/Interconnect --> CVO_GCP ```
An administrator observes consistently high CPU utilization on a Cloud Volumes ONTAP node that is impacting application performance. Initial analysis with BlueXP shows that storage efficiency processes are consuming a significant amount of resources during business hours. Which monitoring tool should the architect recommend for a deeper, more granular analysis of the workload to identify the specific volumes, LUNs, or protocols causing the performance bottleneck?
True or False: When using BlueXP backup and recovery to protect on-premises ONTAP volumes to an S3 bucket, a BlueXP Connector must be deployed in the same on-premises network as the source ONTAP cluster.
A company requires a disaster recovery solution for their on-premises SAP HANA environment running on an AFF system. The DR site is in Azure, utilizing Cloud Volumes ONTAP. The key requirements are an RPO of less than 15 minutes and an RTO of under 2 hours. Application consistency is mandatory for the database backups. Which NetApp replication technology should be used to meet all these requirements?
An architect needs to size a single-node Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance in AWS for a workload with the following characteristics: - Peak IOPS: 35,000 - Required Throughput: 400 MB/s - Data Footprint: 8 TB - Protocol: iSCSI Given the performance capabilities of different EC2 instance types for CVO, which instance type represents the most cost-effective choice that meets the performance requirements?
