A NAVER Cloud Platform architect reviews a VPC design where a Network ACL is set to DENY all inbound traffic on port 22, but the ACG on the bastion server ALLOWS inbound port 22 from the admin IP. Which statement is correct about SSH access?

SSH access will succeed because NACLs only apply to outbound traffic

SSH access will be blocked because the NACL deny is evaluated before the ACG

SSH access will succeed because the ACG allow rule overrides the NACL deny

SSH access depends on whether the bastion has a public IP attached

1A startup needs to host a stateless web application on NAVER Cloud Platform with automatic horizontal scaling during peak traffic. Which combination of services forms the correct architecture?

A.Server (VPC) + Auto Scaling + Load Balancer

B.Bare Metal Server + Manual snapshot + Global DNS

C.Container Registry + Object Storage + CDN

D.Cloud DB for MySQL + NAS + DNS

Explanation: NAVER Cloud Platform's standard scalable web tier combines VPC-based Server instances managed by Auto Scaling (launch configuration + Auto Scaling group) with a Load Balancer for traffic distribution. Auto Scaling requires a load balancer to be created first before attaching the scaling group. The other options lack the compute-scaling component required for horizontal scaling.

2You are designing a multi-tier VPC architecture on NAVER Cloud Platform. The web tier must accept inbound HTTPS from the internet, and the database tier must only accept connections from the web tier. Which mechanism enforces access control between tiers?

A.Route Table entries pointing to the internet gateway

B.Access Control Group (ACG) rules on each tier's servers

C.Network ACL outbound deny rules on the VPC

D.IAM Sub Account permission boundary

Explanation: Access Control Groups (ACGs) are IP/port-based stateful firewall rules assigned to server instances on NAVER Cloud Platform. You attach a restrictive ACG to the database tier allowing only the web-tier subnet or ACG as the source, and a separate ACG to the web tier allows inbound 443. This is the correct per-tier access control mechanism.

3An enterprise requires that NAVER Cloud Platform Object Storage data is encrypted at rest using customer-managed keys. Which service provides key management for this requirement?

A.Cloud Insight

B.Key Management Service (KMS)

C.Certificate Manager

D.Security Monitoring

Explanation: NAVER Cloud Platform's Key Management Service (KMS) allows customers to create and manage encryption keys used to protect data at rest in Object Storage and other services. Customer-managed keys give the enterprise control over key rotation and revocation. The other services handle monitoring, TLS certificates, or threat detection, not key management.

4Which NAVER Cloud Platform Load Balancer type is purpose-built for Layer-7 HTTP/HTTPS routing, supporting URL-path-based and host-header-based rules?

A.Network Load Balancer

B.Classic Load Balancer

C.Application Load Balancer

D.Global Load Balancer

Explanation: Application Load Balancer (ALB) on NAVER Cloud Platform operates at OSI Layer 7 and supports content-based routing rules including URL paths and host headers, making it ideal for microservices and multi-tenant architectures. Network Load Balancer operates at Layer 4 for high-throughput TCP/UDP workloads.

5Your team manages multiple NAVER Cloud Platform projects across departments. A junior engineer accidentally deleted a production server. Which IAM control prevents this from recurring while still allowing engineers to manage non-production resources?

A.Attach the same IAM policy to all engineers regardless of environment

B.Create Sub Accounts with resource-tag-based or project-scoped policies that restrict delete permissions on production resources

C.Enable MFA on the root account only

D.Rotate API keys every 30 days for all engineers

Explanation: NAVER Cloud Platform's Sub Account system allows granular IAM policies that can restrict destructive actions on specific projects or tagged resource groups while granting broader permissions on development environments. This implements least-privilege access control. MFA and key rotation are good hygiene but do not prevent authorized-but-unintended deletions.

6A financial services company must deploy a NAVER Cloud Platform workload that requires physical isolation from other tenants for compliance reasons. Which compute option satisfies this requirement?

A.Standard VPC Server with dedicated host option

B.Bare Metal Server

C.NKS worker node on a shared node pool

D.Cloud Functions serverless compute

Explanation: Bare Metal Servers on NAVER Cloud Platform provide single-tenant physical machines with no hypervisor overhead and no shared hardware with other customers. This satisfies compliance requirements for physical isolation. Standard VPC servers run on shared hypervisors; NKS and serverless compute are shared-infrastructure services.

7An architect needs to connect an on-premises data center to NAVER Cloud Platform VPC with consistent bandwidth and low latency, avoiding the public internet. Which connectivity option should they choose?

A.IPsec VPN over the public internet

B.Direct Connect (전용회선)

C.VPC Peering between on-premises and cloud VPC

D.NAT Gateway with EIP

Explanation: NAVER Cloud Platform Direct Connect (전용회선) provides a private dedicated physical link between an on-premises network and NCP, bypassing the public internet to deliver consistent bandwidth and low latency. IPsec VPN traverses the public internet and is subject to variable latency. VPC Peering connects two NCP VPCs, not on-premises networks.

8You are building a multi-region active-active disaster recovery architecture on NAVER Cloud Platform. Which storage service supports cross-region object replication to synchronize data between regions?

A.NAS (Network Attached Storage)

B.Block Storage snapshot copy

C.Object Storage with cross-region replication

D.Cloud DB for MySQL read replica in the same AZ

Explanation: NAVER Cloud Platform Object Storage supports cross-region replication, automatically copying objects to a bucket in another region to support DR and geo-distributed architectures. NAS is a zone-local file share, block storage snapshots are copied manually, and MySQL read replicas within the same AZ do not provide cross-region redundancy.

9NAVER Cloud Platform Auto Scaling uses a launch configuration to define the instance template. Which attribute change requires creating a NEW launch configuration rather than modifying the existing one?

A.Changing the Auto Scaling group's desired capacity

B.Updating the server image (image ID) used for new instances

C.Adjusting the minimum and maximum instance counts

D.Modifying the load balancer health check interval

Explanation: Launch configurations on NAVER Cloud Platform are immutable; you cannot modify a launch configuration after creation. To change the server image, instance type, or init script, you must create a new launch configuration and update the Auto Scaling group to reference it. Desired capacity, min/max, and health check settings are properties of the Auto Scaling group, which can be modified directly.

10An architect wants to serve static assets (images, CSS, JS) globally with low latency to users in Korea and Southeast Asia using NAVER Cloud Platform. Which service combination is most appropriate?

A.Object Storage origin + Global CDN edge nodes

B.NAS mount + Application Load Balancer

C.Block Storage snapshot + CloudFront

D.Bare Metal Server in each country + DNS round-robin

Explanation: NAVER Cloud Platform's Global CDN distributes content from an Object Storage origin bucket to edge nodes across Korea and international regions including Southeast Asia, delivering low-latency static asset delivery without managing servers. NAS with ALB does not provide edge caching; NAVER does not offer CloudFront; manual bare-metal DNS round-robin is operationally complex and lacks true edge caching.

NAVER Cloud Platform Certified Professional Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master VPC fundamentals: subnets are bound to one AZ, route tables control traffic paths, ACGs are stateful server firewalls, and NACLs are stateless subnet firewalls evaluated before ACGs

2Know all Load Balancer types: ALB for Layer-7 (HTTP/HTTPS, WebSocket, URL routing), NLB for Layer-4 (high-throughput TCP/UDP), and how health checks determine routing

3Understand Auto Scaling fully: launch configurations are immutable, scheduled scaling pre-warms for predictable surges, and target-tracking handles variable load

4Study Cloud DB HA patterns: Multi-AZ standby for automatic failover vs read replicas for read scaling — they serve different purposes and are often combined

5Practice security layering: Anti-DDoS (network perimeter) → WAF (Layer-7 application) → ALB → ACG (server firewall) — know where each service sits in the traffic flow

6Learn NKS defaults: Dashboard and CSI Block Storage are installed by default; Ingress Nginx incurs Load Balancer charges; node autoscaling integrates with NCP Auto Scaling

7Use Activity Log for audit/compliance questions and Cloud Insight for metric/alarm questions — these are frequently tested in scenario-based troubleshooting questions

8For DR design questions, map RPO to replication frequency (how often data is synchronized) and RTO to recovery automation level (cold/warm/active-active)

Frequently Asked Questions

What exams are required for NAVER Cloud Platform Certified Professional (NCP)?

The NCP credential requires passing three separate exams: Exam 200 (Compute and Storage overview), Exam 202 (Network, Media, Database, and Management/Analytics), and Exam 207 (Troubleshooting). Each exam consists of approximately 60 questions to be answered in 60 minutes. All three must be passed to earn the NCP certification.

Does the NCP Professional exam require passing the NCA Associate first?

No. NAVER Cloud Platform Certified Professional (NCP) does not have a formal prerequisite requiring the NCA (Associate) certification. Candidates with significant hands-on NCP or other major cloud platform experience can attempt the NCP exams directly. NAVER Cloud recommends professional-level experience but does not enforce a mandatory NCA gate.

Is the NAVER Cloud NCP exam available in English?

NAVER Cloud Platform certification exams and official study materials are primarily available in Korean. International English-language availability is limited; confirm the current language options and testing locations at edu.ncloud.com/certi before registering.

What services are most heavily tested on the NCP Professional exams?

Key areas include: VPC design (subnets per AZ, route tables, ACGs, NACLs, NAT Gateway), Load Balancer types (ALB for Layer-7, NLB for Layer-4), Auto Scaling (launch configs, scheduled and target-tracking policies), Cloud DB for MySQL HA and read replicas, NKS Kubernetes (node autoscaling, RBAC, Ingress, CSI), Object Storage (lifecycle, WORM/Object Lock, cross-region replication), security services (WAF, Anti-DDoS, Secure Zone, KMS), Cloud Insight monitoring, and hybrid connectivity (VPN Gateway, Direct Connect).

How long should I study for the NCP Professional certification?

Cloud architects with prior AWS, GCP, or Azure experience typically need 6-10 weeks (80-120 hours) to pass all three NCP exams. Prioritize hands-on practice in the NCP console (VPC, Cloud DB, Auto Scaling, NKS) and study NAVER Cloud platform-specific behaviors that differ from other cloud providers. Aim for 80%+ on practice questions before scheduling each exam.

How does the NAVER Cloud NCP Professional differ from the NCA Associate?

The NCA (Associate) validates foundational knowledge of NAVER Cloud Platform services and can be completed in a single exam. The NCP (Professional) requires three exams and tests independent infrastructure design, troubleshooting, and architecture — including complex VPC designs, HA database configurations, NKS Kubernetes operations, multi-region DR strategies, and security architecture. The NCP is intended for engineers who can architect complete NCP solutions independently.
