Which method accomplishes this with the least effort and ongoing maintenance?
To provide a user with access to view real-time performance metrics for all VMs on all clusters across the datacenter with the least effort and ongoing maintenance, the most straightforward approach is to configure a local account and assign the new user to the Viewer role in Prism Central. This method eliminates the complexity of configuring external authentication systems and custom roles, ensuring minimal setup and continuous maintenance effort.
D is the least effort and ongoing maintenance.
Prism Element is a service built into the platform for every deployed Nutanix cluster. Prism Element fully configures, manages, and monitors Nutanix clusters running any hypervisor.
D is correct. Configuring an IDP is a much higher effort than just creating a local account.
To provide a user with real-time performance metrics for all VMs on all clusters across the datacenter, the least effort and ongoing maintenance can be achieved by configuring IDP authentication and assigning the user to the Cluster Admin role in Prism Central . This method allows the user to view real-time performance metrics for all VMs on all clusters across the datacenter with minimal effort and ongoing maintenance. Option A requires creating a custom role and applying it to all clusters and VMs, which is more time-consuming and requires ongoing maintenance . Option C only allows the user to view performance metrics for a single cluster, which does not meet the requirement of the question . Option D requires creating a local account, which is not recommended due to security concerns . Therefore, option B is the best choice for providing a user with real-time performance metrics for all VMs on all clusters across the datacenter with the least effort and ongoing maintenance.
B is not a good answer, because it grants cluster admin to the user.
It's also more effort and ongoing maintenance than a local account, ruling it out for this question even if it was an appropriate amount of access.
