1What is the maximum number of VPCs allowed per account on NAVER Cloud Platform?

A.1

B.3

C.5

D.10

Explanation: NAVER Cloud Platform limits each account to a maximum of 3 VPCs. This limit applies to the VPC environment and encourages careful network planning before deployment. Subnets and additional resources are created within these VPCs.

2How many servers can be created per account on NAVER Cloud Platform by default?

A.10

B.25

C.50

D.100

Explanation: The default server limit per NAVER Cloud Platform account is 50 servers. This limit can be increased by submitting a quota increase request through the NCP customer support portal. Planning server usage within this limit is important for initial deployments.

3Which NAVER Cloud Platform service provides access control at the server instance level by defining inbound and outbound traffic rules?

A.Network ACL

B.Access Control Group (ACG)

C.WAF

D.Sub Account IAM

Explanation: An Access Control Group (ACG) on NAVER Cloud Platform functions as a virtual firewall at the server instance level, defining allowed inbound and outbound traffic rules. Network ACLs operate at the subnet level in the VPC environment, whereas ACGs are attached directly to server network interfaces.

4In NAVER Cloud Platform Auto Scaling, what is the maximum number of servers allowed in a single Auto Scaling group?

A.10

B.20

C.30

D.50

Explanation: NAVER Cloud Platform Auto Scaling supports a maximum of 30 servers per Auto Scaling group. This limit applies to the number of server instances that the group can scale out to. If more capacity is needed, multiple Auto Scaling groups can be used.

5Which component of NAVER Cloud Platform Auto Scaling defines the server configuration template, including the OS image and initialization scripts, used when new servers are launched?

A.Scaling Policy

B.Auto Scaling Group

C.Launch Configuration

D.Event Notification

Explanation: A Launch Configuration in NCP Auto Scaling is the server configuration template that specifies the OS image, server specs, and initialization scripts used when Auto Scaling creates new server instances. The Auto Scaling Group references the Launch Configuration and applies scaling policies to determine when to create or terminate servers.

6Which three Auto Scaling scaling policy types are available on NAVER Cloud Platform?

A.Increase/decrease change, ratio change, and fixed value

B.Scheduled, reactive, and predictive scaling

C.CPU-based, memory-based, and network-based

D.Manual, automatic, and scheduled

Explanation: NCP Auto Scaling provides three scaling policy types: increase/decrease change (adds or removes a fixed number of servers), ratio change (scales by a percentage of the current group size), and fixed value (sets the group to an exact number). These policies can be triggered by Cloud Insight monitoring alarms.

7A company wants to distribute HTTP traffic across multiple servers in NAVER Cloud Platform's VPC environment with path-based routing. Which Load Balancer type should they use?

A.Network Load Balancer

B.Network Proxy Load Balancer

C.Application Load Balancer

D.Global Route Manager

Explanation: The Application Load Balancer (ALB) on NCP operates at Layer 7 (HTTP/HTTPS) and supports content-based routing including path-based rules. The Network Load Balancer operates at Layer 4 for high-throughput TCP/UDP traffic. Network Proxy Load Balancer is used for proxy-based Layer 4 scenarios.

8What must be created before setting up an Application Load Balancer in NAVER Cloud Platform VPC?

A.A public IP certificate and SSL VPN tunnel

B.VPC, Network ACL, Subnet, ACGs, and servers

C.Auto Scaling group and Cloud Insight alarm

D.Sub account with LoadBalancer policy attached

Explanation: Before creating a Load Balancer in NCP's VPC environment, you must first create: a VPC, a Network ACL, subnets within the VPC, Access Control Groups (ACGs), and the server instances that will act as targets. HTTPS listeners also require an SSL certificate to be registered.

9Which NAVER Cloud Platform Load Balancer type is best suited for high-throughput TCP and UDP traffic requiring the Direct Server Return (DSR) method?

A.Application Load Balancer

B.Network Proxy Load Balancer

C.Network Load Balancer

D.Classic Load Balancer

Explanation: The Network Load Balancer (NLB) on NCP is designed for high-capacity network traffic and uses the DSR (Direct Server Return) method, where responses go directly from the server to the client without returning through the load balancer. It supports TCP and UDP protocols and automatically adjusts performance based on traffic scale.

10What is the maximum file upload size supported via the NAVER Cloud Platform Object Storage console UI?

A.500 MB

B.1 GB

C.2 GB

D.10 TB

Explanation: NAVER Cloud Platform Object Storage supports up to 2 GB for uploads performed through the console (web UI). For larger files, the S3-compatible API must be used, which supports uploads up to 10 TB. This distinction is an important exam topic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NCA exam format?

The NCA (NAVER Cloud Platform Certified Associate, exam code 100) consists of 60 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 60 minutes. This gives approximately one minute per question. The exam is delivered through the official NAVER Cloud Platform education portal at edu.ncloud.com/certi, primarily in Korean.

What services are covered on the NCA exam?

The NCA tests knowledge of core NCP service categories: Compute (servers, Auto Scaling), Networking (VPC, Load Balancer, CDN+, VPN), Storage (Object Storage, NAS, Archive Storage), Database (MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, MSSQL, CUBRID, PostgreSQL, MariaDB), Containers and Serverless (NKS, Cloud Functions), Security (ACG, WAF, Anti-DDoS, Secure Zone), Monitoring (Cloud Insight, Cloud Log Analytics), AI services (CLOVA family, Papago NMT), and Media services (VOD Transcoder, Live Station, Image Optimizer).

What are the most important NCP service limits to know for the NCA?

Key limits frequently tested on the NCA include: 50 servers per account (default), 3 VPCs per account, 30 servers maximum per Auto Scaling group, 10 MySQL slave replicas per master, Object Storage console upload limit of 2 GB (API supports up to 10 TB), NAS capacity range of 500 GB to 10,000 GB expanding in 100 GB increments, and Data Teleporter appliance capacity of 100 TB.

What is the difference between ACG and Network ACL in NCP?

An ACG (Access Control Group) is a stateful firewall applied at the server instance level — it tracks connection state and automatically allows return traffic for allowed outbound connections. A Network ACL is a stateless filter applied at the subnet level in VPC — it requires explicit allow rules for both inbound and outbound directions of a connection. For defense in depth, both should be configured.

Which NCP Load Balancer type should I use for HTTP path-based routing?

Use the Application Load Balancer (ALB) for Layer 7 HTTP/HTTPS path-based and host-based routing. Use the Network Load Balancer (NLB) for high-throughput TCP/UDP traffic requiring DSR (Direct Server Return). Use the Network Proxy Load Balancer for proxy-mode Layer 4 scenarios. All three types require pre-creating VPC, subnets, Network ACL, and ACGs.

What is the NCP Auto Scaling difference between Launch Configuration and Auto Scaling Group?

A Launch Configuration is the server template specifying the OS image, server specs, and initialization scripts used when Auto Scaling creates new instances. An Auto Scaling Group is the collection of servers that is managed — it references a Launch Configuration, sets minimum/maximum server counts (max 30), and applies scaling policies and schedules. Changes to the group (scaling actions) use the Launch Configuration as the blueprint.

Is the NCA exam available in English?

The NCA exam is primarily delivered in Korean through edu.ncloud.com/certi. Availability in other languages should be confirmed on the official portal before registering. NAVER Cloud Platform documentation is available in both Korean and English at guide.ncloud-docs.com, which is the recommended study resource.
