To ensure compliance with the requirement for acommon naming systemacross multiple Nutanix Objects instances, the administrator should leverage theFederated Namespacefeature, also referred to as a global namespace in Nutanix documentation. A Federated Namespace in Nutanix Objects allows multiple object store instances to share a unified namespace, enabling consistent bucket and object naming across distributed sites, which is essential for applications requiring a common naming system.
TheNutanix Unified Storage Administration (NUSA)course explains that “Nutanix Objects supports a global namespace, often referred to as a Federated Namespace, to provide a unified view of buckets across multiple object store instances, ensuring consistent naming for applications.” This feature allows applications to access objects using the same bucket names and paths, regardless of the physical location of the object store instances, meeting the requirement for a common naming system.
TheNutanix Certified Professional - Unified Storage (NCP-US)study guide further states that “a Federated Namespace in Nutanix Objects ensures that multiple object store instances can share a common namespace, which is critical for applications requiring consistent naming across distributed environments.” This is particularly useful in multi-site deployments where Nutanix Objects instances need to present a unified namespace for seamless data access.
The other options are incorrect:
Multicluster: Multicluster refers to the ability to manage multiple Nutanix clusters, but it is not a feature of Nutanix Objects and does not address namespace consistency.
Streaming Replication: Streaming replication is a data replication method, typically used in other contexts like databases, and is not a feature of Nutanix Objects for namespace management.
Cloud Tiering: Cloud tiering allows data to be moved to cloud storage (e.g., AWS S3) for cost optimization but does not provide a common naming system across object store instances.
The NUSA course documentation notes that “a Federated Namespace, or global namespace, in Nutanix Objects is configured to ensure consistent bucket naming across multiple instances, enabling applications to use a common naming system as required.”
