C: VPC Subnets Route Tables NAT Gateway, Internet Gateway, Load balancer Correct answer
D: VPC Subnets Route subnets, Route Tables, NAT Gateway, Internet Gateway, VPN
Correct Answer:
C. VPC Subnets Route Tables NAT Gateway, Internet Gateway, Load balancer
Explanation

To enable public access to Prism Element in AWS, you need a VPC with subnets, route tables for traffic routing, an Internet Gateway for public connectivity, and a NAT Gateway for outbound internet access from private subnets. A load balancer distributes traffic to Nutanix clusters. These are the essential components for establishing public connectivity while maintaining security boundaries in a Nutanix on AWS deployment.

Why Incorrect

A. "Delegated Subnets" is not standard AWS terminology; regular subnets are used.

B. Contains "vNets" which is Azure terminology, not AWS, and lacks Internet Gateway.

D. Contains "Route subnets" which is not valid terminology, and VPN is not required for public access.
