An architect is responsible for designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based private cloud for a customer. The architect noted the following requirements during a design workshop:
Co-locate application workloads with VCF management component workloads within the same vSphere cluster.
Shared storage data is always available and 100% current in the event of a single site outage. Have two sites available no more than 10 miles apart (10ms latency) connected with high-speed network technology to host their virtual infrastructure. Protect against outages of a single site designated as an availability zone.
Which two storage technologies could meet the stated requirements? (Choose two.)

  1. NVMe over TCP
  2. NVMe over Fibre Channel (FC)
  3. VMFS on Fibre Channel (FC)
  4. vSAN
  5. vSphere Virtual Volumes (vVols)

Answer(s): D,E

Explanation:

According to VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 documentation, when a stretched cluster is deployed across sites with sub-5ms latency and high-speed interconnects, vSAN can be configured for zero RPO (Recovery Point Objective), ensuring 100% data consistency and availability in the event of a site failure. vSAN supports co-locating management and application workloads and provides the shared storage functionality with automatic failover capabilities. Additionally, vSphere Virtual Volumes (vVols) provide granular control of virtual machine storage, and when backed by a storage system that supports replication and failover across sites (with support for VASA 3.0 or later), vVols can meet the same requirements for data availability and disaster recovery.

An architect is responsible for designing a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based Private Cloud solution. During the requirements gathering workshop with key customer stakeholders, the following information was captured:
The solution must support a yearly workload growth of up to 10%.
When creating the design document, which design quality should be used to classify the stated requirements?

  1. Performance
  2. Availability
  3. Manageability
  4. Security

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The requirement specifying "yearly workload growth of up to 10%" relates directly to the system's ability to handle increased demand over time, which falls under the design quality of Performance. Performance in VMware Cloud Foundation design includes considerations for scalability and the ability to sustain projected growth. This requirement addresses the system's capacity to manage future workload expansion without degradation in service levels.

An architect is responsible for designing a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based private cloud. During the discovery workshops, the following information was captured from key customer stakeholders:
The private cloud will operate with three different monitoring levels:
Self-Managed Service: VM construct only
OS Managed Service: OS metrics and VM construct
Fully Managed Service: Infrastructure apps + OS metrics + VM construct Approved infrastructure applications include: Microsoft IIS, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Tomcat Server, and Apache HTTPD
Each workload must subscribe to a monitoring level
Minimal management overhead is required for agent operations Which two design decision should the architect make to meet the stated monitoring requirements?

(Choose two.)

  1. Configure the Service Discovery for all workloads that subscribe to the Self-Managed service
  2. Deploy the Managed Telegraf Agent for all workloads that subscribe to the Fully Managed service
  3. Deploy the Managed Telegraf Agent for all workloads that subscribe to the OS Managed service
  4. Deploy the Managed Telegraf Agent for all workloads that subscribe Self-Managed service
  5. Deploy the Open Source Telegraf Agent for all workloads that subscribe to the Fully Managed service

Answer(s): B,C

Explanation:

The Managed Telegraf Agent provides full observability and is centrally managed through VMware Aria Operations (formerly vRealize Operations). It is ideal for scenarios where both OS and infrastructure application metrics are needed, such as in the Fully Managed and OS Managed services. This meets the requirement for monitoring while minimizing manual overhead. The Self- Managed service does not require agent deployment, as only VM-level metrics are needed.

During a design workshop, the security team provides the following requirement for the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Automation deployment:
All Virtual Machine images must be reviewed and vetted by the security team prior to consumption.
Which Content Library type supports the requirement?

  1. Subscribed Content Library
  2. Tenant-managed Content Library
  3. Local Content Library
  4. Provider-managed Content Library

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A Provider-managed Content Library is curated and controlled centrally by the VCF administrator or provider. It enables vetting and version control over VM templates and OVFs, ensuring compliance with organizational policies, including security reviews. This directly supports the requirement that all images must be reviewed and approved before being used in deployments.

A VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) architect is planning for the expansion of an existing VCF instance. The existing VCF instance is deployed with a single workload domain. The number of ESXi hosts has grown to the maximum number the existing vCenter can support.
Which design decision would the architect need to make to allow the existing VCF Instance to add more ESXi hosts?

  1. Deploy a second vCenter server appliance within the existing workload domain
  2. Deploy a second workload domain within the existing VCF Instance
  3. Deploy a second cluster within the existing vCenter
  4. Deploy a second VCF Instance within the existing VCF Fleet

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A single workload domain in VCF maps to a single vCenter instance.
When the host limit for that vCenter is reached (typically ~1000 hosts per vCenter), the correct and supported scale-out design is to deploy a second VI workload domain, which comes with its own dedicated vCenter instance, allowing continued expansion without affecting the existing domain.

An architect is designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) fleet. The following information has been provided by the customer:
Due to budget constraints, the solution must utilize the existing server hardware. The existing server hardware consists of server models from the same vendor but different generations.
There are ten servers available for use in this solution. Management and Business workloads should be hosted in different clusters.
What design decision should the architect make for the lifecycle management of the solution based on this information?

  1. Use a single vSphere Lifecycle Manager composite image for the management domain cluster.
  2. Use separate vSphere Lifecycle Manager composite images for the management and workload domain clusters.
  3. Use vSphere Lifecycle Manager baselines for the management domain cluster.
  4. Use a single vSphere Lifecycle Manager composite image for the management and workload domain clusters.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0, vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) with composite images is the recommended method for managing host lifecycle. However, when using hardware of different generations, it's not advisable to use a single composite image across clusters with hardware inconsistencies due to potential compatibility mismatches with firmware and drivers. By using separate vLCM composite images for each cluster (i.e., management and workload), the architect ensures that each cluster's image is optimized for its specific hardware generation, reducing the risk of driver/firmware issues during updates or drift remediation. This design aligns with the principle of cluster-level lifecycle independence, especially important when working with a mix of hardware generations.

An architect is designing a private cloud infrastructure for two departments (HR and Finance) based on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and has been given the following requirements:
HR and Finance superusers require access to VCF Operations. VCF Operations access, monitoring, and logging information must not be shared across departments.
Which design decision would meet the requirement?

  1. Deploy two VCF Fleet instances within the private cloud, one for HR and one for Finance.
  2. Configure two tenant instances within VCF Operations, one for HR and one for Finance.
  3. Deploy two VCF Operations instances within a VCF Fleet, one for HR and one for Finance.
  4. Configure two sets of scopes and index partitions within VCF Operations, one for HR and one for Finance.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

To enforce strict separation of monitoring data, logs, and access control, deploying two separate VCF Operations instances is the recommended solution. This ensures that each department (HR and Finance) has a completely isolated monitoring stack, including dashboards, alerts, log retention, and user roles.
Although scopes and index partitions can provide some level of logical segregation within a single instance, they do not guarantee complete security isolation, especially in environments with strict compliance or multi-tenancy concerns. Deploying two separate instances ensures compliance with data isolation and privacy requirements, making it the most secure and compliant option.

An architect is designing a Business Continuity Disaster Recovery (BCDR) strategy for a Virtual Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment with a management domain and multiple workload domains deployed in two datacenters located in the same city.
During one of the initial workshops with stakeholders, the following information was identified:
The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for workloads is 24 hours. The management domain must remain continuously available with Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of 0.
Hardware overhead should be minimized by utilizing standby resources that host test workloads during normal operation.
Operational overhead should be minimized.
Latency between both datacenters is 2 ms.
Which design decision should the architect document to satisfy provided requirements?

  1. Use VCF Automation to redeploy the entire environment in case of a failure.
  2. Implement vSAN stretched cluster for the management domain and Live Recovery for the workload domains.
  3. Back up all workloads daily and store them in a central repository to meet RTO expectations.
  4. Use asynchronous replication for both management and workload domains.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

To ensure zero RPO and high availability for the management domain, the best-fit design is to use a vSAN Stretched Cluster. With a 2ms latency and shared witness site, this design enables synchronous replication and automatic failover, ensuring no data loss (RPO 0) and minimal downtime. For the workload domains where 24-hour RTO is acceptable, Live Recovery (leveraging replication and automation like Site Recovery Manager or Aria Automation Orchestrator) can be used to minimize operational effort and still meet recovery timelines. This strategy also aligns with minimizing hardware overhead by using the standby test infrastructure as failover capacity.

question 14 - run terraform import: this is the recommended best practice for bringing manually created or destroyed resources under terraform management. you use terraform import to associate an existing resource with a terraform resource configuration. this ensures that terraform is aware of the resource, and you can subsequently manage it with terraform.
