Nutanix Certified Professional - Database Automation (NCP-DB)

The Nutanix Certified Professional - Database Automation (NCP-DB) 7.5 exam will measure a candidate’s ability to deploy, administer, optimize, and troubleshoot database workloads using Nutanix Database Service (NDB).

Successful candidates have approximately 1-2 years of database experience with at least 6 months of NDB experience on the Nutanix Platform (on-prem and public cloud). 

They are typically database administrators or developers, automation engineers, Nutanix channel partner personnel that perform NDB-related functions, or Nutanix OEM vendors who manage databases on the Nutanix Platform (on-prem and within the public cloud). 

They should also be able to successfully provision, patch, protect, and clone databases. Additionally, the candidate should be able to deploy and configure NDB, register databases and database server VMs, recover databases, and create new NDB profiles. 

Finally, the successful candidate will most likely have taken training courses, such as the Nutanix Database Management & Automation (NDMA) course.
