QUESTION: 6

A VMware Cloud Foundation multi-AZ (Availability Zone) design mandates that:

* All management components are centralized.

* The availability SLA must adhere to no less than 99.99%.

What would be the two design decisions that would help satisfy those requirements? (Choose two.)

Choose two distant AZs and configure distinct management workload domains.
Configure a stretched L2 VLAN for the infrastructure management components between the AZs.
Configure a separate VLAN for the infrastructure management components within each AZ.
Configure VMware Live Recovery between the selected AZs.
Choose two close proximity AZs and configure a stretched management workload domain.

Answer(s): B,E

Explanation:

A 99.99% SLA requires HA across AZs, and centralized management in VCF implies a single management domain. Option B, "Configure a stretched L2 VLAN," ensures management components (e.g., vCenter, NSX Manager) communicate seamlessly across AZs, supporting centralization and redundancy. Option E, "Choose two close proximity AZs and configure a stretched management workload domain," extends the management domain across AZs with low latency (<5ms RTT recommended), achieving HA and meeting the SLA via synchronous replication and failover. Option A contradicts centralization with distinct domains, C isolates components (reducing HA), and D (Live Recovery) is for DR, not primary HA. VCF 5.2 supports stretched clusters for this purpose.

QUESTION: 7

A customer has a requirement to use isolated domains in VMware Cloud Foundation but is constrained to a single NSX management pane.
What should the architect recommend satisfying this requirement?

An NSX VPC
A Shared NSX Instance
NSX Federation
A 1:1 NSX Instance

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 5.2, isolated domains within a single NSX management pane (i.e., a single NSX Manager cluster) require a solution that provides logical isolation without additional management overhead. Option A, "An NSX VPC" (Virtual Private Cloud), is the correct choice as it enables tenant-specific isolated networking environments within a single NSX instance, managed via the same NSX Manager. Introduced in NSX-T 3.2 (supported in VCF 5.2), NSX VPCs allow segmentation with dedicated routing, security policies, and resource allocation, meeting the isolation requirement efficiently. Option B, "A Shared NSX Instance," implies no isolation, contradicting the requirement. Option C, "NSX Federation," supports multi-site management with multiple NSX Managers, exceeding the single-pane constraint. Option D, "A 1:1 NSX Instance," suggests a dedicated NSX Manager per domain, also violating the constraint. NSX VPC is explicitly designed for this use case in VCF.

QUESTION: 8

An Architect is designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based private cloud solution for a customer. During the requirements gathering workshop, the customer stated the following:

* All users must only have access to the solution components to fulfill their defined role.

* All administrative users must be authenticated to a separate approved identity source for administrator accounts only.

* All service users must be authenticated to the central approved identity source.

* All service account passwords must be stored centrally in an approved secrets management platform.

When creating the design, how should the Architect classify all the stated requirements?

Security
Manageability
Recoverability
Availability

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

VCF design classifies requirements into qualities like Security, Manageability, Availability, and Recoverability based on their focus. The listed requirements all pertain to access control, authentication, and data protection: role-based access limits user privileges, separate identity sources for admins enhance security, centralized authentication for service users ensures consistency, and a secrets management platform protects credentials. These align with the Security design quality in VCF, which encompasses identity and access management (IAM), encryption, and compliance--key aspects of VCF's integration with tools like vSphere's SSO and third-party identity providers. Manageability (B) focuses on operational ease, Recoverability (C) on data restoration, and Availability (D) on uptime--none of which directly match these requirements. Security is the encompassing classification per VCF's methodology.

QUESTION: 9

During a transformation project kick-off meeting, an architect highlights specific areas on which to focus while developing the new conceptual design.
Which statement is the business requirement?

The solution must continue to operate even in case of an entire datacenter failure.
The project should use the existing storage devices within the data center.
Sites must support a network latency of less than 12 ms RTT.
There is no budget specifically assigned for disaster recovery.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Business requirements in VCF reflect organizational goals or operational needs, distinct from technical constraints or assumptions. Option A, "The solution must continue to operate even in case of an entire datacenter failure," is a business requirement as it states a high-level objective-- continuous operation--driving the need for disaster recovery (DR) and high availability (HA), directly impacting business continuity. Option B (using existing storage) is a constraint, limiting design choices. Option C (latency) is a technical requirement, specifying performance metrics. Option D (no DR budget) is a financial constraint, not a requirement. VCF's conceptual design phase prioritizes identifying such business drivers to shape the solution, and A aligns with this focus on resilience.

QUESTION: 10

The following requirements were identified in an architecture workshop for a virtual infrastructure design project.

REQ001: All virtual machines must satisfy the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of fifteen (15) minutes or less in a disaster recovery (DR) situation

REQ002: Service level availability must satisfy 99.999% measured yearly.

Which two test cases will validate these requirements?

Simulate or invoke an outage of the primary datacenter. All virtual machines must be restored within fifteen (15) minutes or less.
Simulate or invoke an outage of the primary datacenter. All virtual machines must not lose more than one (1) hour of data prior to the outage.
Simulate or invoke an outage of the primary datacenter. All virtual machines must not lose more than fifteen (15) minutes of data prior to the outage.
Simulate or invoke an outage of the primary datacenter. All virtual machines must be restored within one (1) hour or less.

Answer(s): A,C

Explanation:

REQ001: specifies an RPO of 15 minutes or less, meaning the maximum data loss in a DR scenario is 15 minutes. RE
REQ002: demands 99.999% availability, but test cases focus on DR validation, so RPO is primary here. Option C directly tests RPO: if VMs lose no more than 15 minutes of data, the requirement is met, aligning with vSphere Replication or vSAN stretched clusters in VCF 5.2, which can achieve such RPOs. Option A tests restoration within 15 minutes, which, while related to Recovery Time Objective (RTO), also implies minimal data loss if achieved, indirectly validating RPO in a failover context. Option B (1 hour of data loss) exceeds the 15-minute RPO, failing RE
REQ001: Option D (1-hour restoration) tests RTO, not RPO, and isn't tied to data loss limits. VCF DR solutions emphasize these metrics, making A and C the precise validations.
