During a deployment of NKP, a Platform Engineer received an error indicating an issue with...

The NKPA course details the process of deploying an NKP cluster, which begins with creating a bootstrap cluster to initialize the Cluster API (CAPI) components. The bootstrap cluster is a temporary Kubernetes cluster used to manage the provisioning of the target NKP cluster. If an error occurs and the KUBECONFIG file is missing, the engineer must recreate the bootstrap cluster and generate a new KUBECONFIG file.

The correct command, as specified in the NKPA course, isnkp create bootstrap --kubeconfig bootstrap-cluster.conf. The nkp CLI is the Nutanix-specific tool for managing NKP deployments, and the create bootstrap subcommand initializes the bootstrap cluster while generating the KUBECONFIG file with the specified name (bootstrap-cluster.conf). The Nutanix Cloud Native (NCP-CN) 6.10 Study Guide states: “The nkp create bootstrap command is used to create a temporary bootstrap cluster for CAPI-based NKP deployments, with the --kubeconfig flag specifying the output KUBECONFIG file.”

Incorrect Options:

A. nutanix create bootstrap --kubeconfig bootstrap-cluster.conf: There is no nutanix CLI command for NKP bootstrap creation. The correct tool is nkp.

B. kubectl create bootstrap --kubeconfig bootstrap-cluster.conf: kubectl is used for interacting with Kubernetes clusters, not for creating bootstrap clusters. The NKPA course does not support this command.

D. d2iq create bootstrap --kubeconfig bootstrap-cluster.conf: D2iQ is a separate Kubernetes platform, and its CLI is not used for NKP deployments.
