Which interface must be used to deploy NC2?

The deployment of Nutanix Clusters on AWS (NC2) is initiated and managed through the Nutanix cloud services portal, which is accessed via my.nutanix.com. This portal provides a dedicated "NC2" tile that launches the guided workflow for cluster creation, configuration, and deployment. This centralized interface orchestrates the necessary resource provisioning within the customer's AWS account, abstracting the complexity of the underlying cloud provider's portal.

A) The AWS portal is used to set up prerequisites (like IAM roles and VPCs) but not to initiate the NC2 cluster deployment itself.
C) Prism Central is used for managing Nutanix clusters after they have been deployed, not for the initial deployment process from the portal.
D) Foundation is a tool for imaging on-premises bare-metal nodes; the NC2 deployment process is a fully automated workflow managed by the Nutanix portal.
