Nutanix NCP-CI-Azure - Nutanix Certified Professional - Cloud Integration - Azure (NCP-CI-Azure v6.7)

Flow Virtual Networking: Nutanix Flow Virtual Networking allows for the creation of overlay networks to segment and manage network traffic.

Network Types:

Underlay: Refers to the physical network infrastructure.

Overlay: Logical network built on top of the physical infrastructure, providing flexibility for creating isolated subnets and accommodating different workloads.

VPC: Virtual Private Cloud, a network within a public cloud provider.

VNET: Azure-specific virtual network.

Requirement: Creating a subnet for new workloads within Flow Virtual Networking suggests using an overlay network for logical separation and management.

Conclusion: An overlay network within Flow Virtual Networking will satisfy the task of accommodating a new type of workload in the NC2 Azure instance.

Network Security Groups (NSGs):NSGs control the inbound and outbound traffic to and from Azure resources. For traffic between on-premises CVMs and NC2 CVMs in Azure, the NSGs associated with the Flow Gateway VM's Internal NICs must be configured to allow the required traffic.

Editing NSGs:To enable traffic flow, specific rules must be added to the NSGs to permit traffic from the on-premises network to the NC2 environment. Thisincludes specifying the appropriate source and destination IP ranges and the necessary ports and protocols.
