An administrator wants to enable application discovery on a Nutanix cluster to monitor applications. A Prism Central instance is already configured with sufficient CPU and memory. What other prerequisites must be met before enabling application discovery? (Choose two.)

Application Discovery is a feature within Nutanix Flow Security Central. Before it can be enabled, foundational environmental prerequisites for Prism Central must be met. First, the Prism Central VM must be scaled to the appropriate size (Large or X-Large) to handle the feature's workload. While the prompt states CPU and memory are sufficient, the term "resources" (Option A) is broader and includes disk space, which also needs to be scaled. Second, Application Discovery requires communication with the Nutanix cloud services (nsc.nutanix.com) for full functionality. Therefore, Prism Central must have a working internet connection (Option B) with the necessary ports open. These environmental prerequisites must be satisfied before proceeding with software configuration.

C. API key and key ID: These are not required for enabling the Application Discovery feature itself. API keys are used for programmatic access and integration with external tools or scripts.
D. Network controller is enabled: While enabling the Network Controller is a mandatory step, it is a configuration task performed within Prism Central after the foundational resource and connectivity prerequisites (A and B) are in place.

1. Sufficient Prism Central VM resources (A): The Nutanix Prism Central Guide specifies resource requirements for enabling features. Flow Security Central (which includes Application Discovery) requires a "Large" or "X-Large" Prism Central deployment, which has specific vCPU, memory, and disk requirements.

2. Internet connection (B): Official Nutanix documentation outlines the required network connectivity for cloud-integrated services. Flow Security Central requires Prism Central to have HTTPS (TCP/443) access to nsc.nutanix.com.

3. Network Controller (D): The documentation confirms that enabling the Network Controller is a required step, framing it as the action to take once the environment is prepared.
