An organization uses Nutanix Disaster Recovery with automatic virtual network creation in the Nutanix Cloud AZ. After a successful failback operation…

Nutanix DRaaS (formerly Xi Leap) is designed for operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. When a failback operation from the Nutanix Cloud AZ to the on-premises site is completed, the temporary resources created in the cloud for the failover, such as virtual networks, are no longer needed. The service automatically de-provisions and cleans up these resources. This automated cleanup prevents unnecessary resource consumption and associated costs in the cloud environment, ensuring the tenant only pays for what is actively in use.

A. The networks are temporary for failover/testing purposes and are not intended to be converted into permanent production networks.

C. The process is automated to reduce administrative overhead; manual deletion is not the standard behavior for these dynamically created resources.

D. Billing is based on resource consumption; resources are removed when no longer required, not kept active for an entire billing cycle.

2. Nutanix University, "Nutanix Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (NCP-BC) 6.5", Module 5: Disaster Recovery with Nutanix Cloud Services, Lesson: Failover and Failback. The course material describes the lifecycle of resources in a DRaaS failover, highlighting the automatic cleanup post-failback.
