Question 610

During an NVIDIA AI factory acceptance test, engineers discover: A cluster imports a model checkpoint under an unpinned tag and later cannot identify the exact image used. Which TWO complementary elements are needed: the correct technical action and the strongest independent diagnostic evidence? Select TWO answers.

  1. Inspect CLI version, secret permissions, registry access result, artifact digest and immutable job manifests.
  2. Copy a privileged long-lived NGC API key into every Slurm log and treat the registry tag latest as immutable.
  3. Enforce individual authenticated host access, network restrictions and tested key rotation with accountable emergency recovery.
  4. Check HA roles, sync status, virtual management endpoint, database replication and isolation tests.
  5. Install a supported NGC CLI, use scoped secret handling and retrieve versioned registry artifacts reproducibly.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

This is the direct operational evidence to investigate: Inspect CLI version, secret permissions, registry access result, artifact digest and immutable job manifests. Observed scenario: A cluster imports a model checkpoint under an unpinned tag and later cannot identify the exact image used.

E:

This is an appropriate correction for NGC CLI installation login and artifact retrieval: Install a supported NGC CLI, use scoped secret handling and retrieve versioned registry artifacts reproducibly. Observed scenario: A cluster imports a model checkpoint under an unpinned tag and later cannot identify the exact image used. The governing mechanism is: NGC registry access involves authenticated artifact retrieval; successful login is not proof of trusted artifact contents.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This tempting but unsafe shortcut is not a sufficient remediation for NGC CLI installation login and artifact retrieval: Copy a privileged long-lived NGC API key into every Slurm log and treat the registry tag latest as immutable. A cluster imports a model checkpoint under an unpinned tag and later cannot identify the exact image used. NGC registry access involves authenticated artifact retrieval; successful login is not proof of trusted artifact contents.

C:

This alternative is relevant to Host SSH certificates keys and OS access segregation but does not directly resolve the current NGC CLI installation login and artifact retrieval issue: Enforce individual authenticated host access, network restrictions and tested key rotation with accountable emergency recovery. Observed scenario: A cluster imports a model checkpoint under an unpinned tag and later cannot identify the exact image used.

D:

This alternative is relevant to BCM high availability and management failover but does not directly resolve the current NGC CLI installation login and artifact retrieval issue: Check HA roles, sync status, virtual management endpoint, database replication and isolation tests. Observed scenario: A cluster imports a model checkpoint under an unpinned tag and later cannot identify the exact image used.

Question 611

A production GPU cluster review identifies this condition: A cluster imports a model checkpoint under an unpinned tag and later cannot identify the exact image used. Which diagnostic evidence should be obtained FIRST to substantiate the likely fault or configuration gap? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Copy a privileged long-lived NGC API key into every Slurm log and treat the registry tag latest as immutable.
  2. Inspect BCM service health, database backups, node discovery, management interfaces and provisioning records.
  3. Inspect CLI version, secret permissions, registry access result, artifact digest and immutable job manifests.

Question 614

At a multi-node AI infrastructure handoff, the team records: A Docker container starts successfully but its intended GPU devices are invisible because the NVIDIA runtime is not configured. Which underlying infrastructure principle BEST explains the issue? Select ONE best answer.

  1. The container runtime must map supported host GPU devices and libraries; ordinary Docker success is not GPU enablement.
