Question No : 2

As part of the initial design workshop, one of the customer stakeholders has stated the following:
• All Virtual Machines must be encrypted.
How would the architect classify this statement?

• A.A Risk
• B.A Constraint
• C.A Requirement
• D.An Assumption

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
This is a requirement because it specifies what the solution must deliver. VMware encryption requires enabling VM Encryption with vSphere VM Encryption policies or vSAN encryption.
Constraints are design limitations (e.g., budget, existing hardware).
Risks are potential negative outcomes (e.g., encryption introduces CPU overhead).
Assumptions are unverified statements taken as true (e.g., "all VMs can support encryption").
Thus, “All VMs must be encrypted” is a security requirement.
Reference: VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Security and Compliance Design Guide C Encryption Requirements.

Question No : 3

A company is deploying a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment to support their growing infrastructure requirements.
The company is planning to scale their environment over time by adding more workload domains as new applications and departments are onboarded.
The company requires that the architecture must be highly scalable and flexible, able to accommodate both current and future demands. They also require a seamless transition when adding new workload domains.
Which design decisions should the architect make to meet the stated scalability requirements and facilitate the future growth?

• A.Use a single workload domain for all departments and increase the size of the vSphere clusters as the demand grows.
• B.Use multiple workload domains for each department and ensure that each workload domain is independently scaled.
• C.Use a single workload domain and rely on storage and network scaling to accommodate future growth.
• D.Use multiple workload domains for each department but combine them into a single vSphere cluster to reduce complexity.

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
VMware Cloud Foundation scales using workload domains (WLDs). Each WLD provides its own vCenter Server, NSX Manager, and lifecycle independence through SDDC Manager.
By using multiple WLDs for each department, the architecture supports independent scaling, policy separation, and lifecycle management.
Option A or C restricts flexibility as all tenants would share a single WLD, leading to lifecycle constraints and “noisy neighbor” issues.
Option D contradicts best practices: multiple departments should not share a single cluster inside a WLD when separation and lifecycle flexibility are required.
This design ensures seamless addition of new workload domains as departments and applications grow.
Reference: VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Design Guide C Workload Domain Scalability and Independence.

Question No : 4

A customer has a new initiative to build a private cloud based on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). The customer technical team is presenting an overview of the current state of the infrastructure as well as describing what the expectations are for the private cloud.
Based on the notes captured by the architect, which statement should be documented as a constraint?

• A.The existing storage is out of hardware vendor maintenance.
• B.No funding exists for a new storage array. Therefore, existing storage hardware must be used.
• C.The design must address security zone requirements for management, production, dev/test, and QA workloads.
• D.The design must provide a centralized management console to manage both data centers.

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Constraints are design limitations that cannot be changed and must be worked around.
B (no funding for new storage, so existing must be used) is a clear constraint, as it restricts the architect from proposing new storage hardware.
A (out of maintenance) represents a risk (unsupported hardware may fail).
C and D are requirements, not constraints, because they describe desired functionality of the solution.
Thus, the correct constraint is that existing storage must be used due to funding limitations.

Question No : 5

An architect is responsible for designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based private cloud for a customer.
During the customer requirements gathering workshop, the customer has stated the following:
All Platinum applications/services must have an availability SLA of 99.99%.
All Gold applications/services must have an availability SLA of 99.9%.
All Silver applications/services must have an availability SLA of 99%.
The private cloud must have an availability SLA of 99.9%.
What should the architect recommend to meet the stated requirements?

• A.The private cloud must only be used to host Silver and Gold services.
• B.The private cloud SLA can only be met using multiple VMware Cloud Foundation instances configured as a single VCF Fleet.
• C.The Platinum service availability requirements must be met by the application.
• D.The Platinum service availability requirements must be met by configuring Proactive High Availability (HA) on the workload domain.

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
The overall private cloud SLA is 99.9%, but Platinum applications require 99.99%, which exceeds the infrastructure SLA.
VMware design methodology states:
If an application’s SLA is higher than the infrastructure SLA, then the application itself must provide the additional resilience (e.g., clustering, active-active deployment, or application-level HA).
Options A and B reduce flexibility or impose unnecessary complexity.
Option D (Proactive HA) improves resiliency but cannot guarantee 99.99%, since Proactive HA still depends on underlying infrastructure SLA.
Therefore, the only valid recommendation is that Platinum workloads must implement resilience at the application layer.
Reference: VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 C Availability and SLA Design Guide.

Question No : 6

During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer has provided a list of business and technical requirements.
Which requirement should be classified as a business requirement?

• A.The solution needs to grow by 30% over the next three years.
• B.The solution must consider security and resiliency to ensure continuity.
• C.The solution must provide no Single Point of Failure (SPOF).
• D.The solution should reduce operational costs.

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
VMware Cloud Foundation architecture uses the RACR framework (Requirements, Assumptions, Constraints, Risks) to classify inputs:
Business requirements describe high-level outcomes the business wants to achieve, often focusing on cost, efficiency, or customer satisfaction.
Technical requirements define how infrastructure should behave to meet performance, resiliency, or security needs.
Among the given options:
A (growth by 30%) and C (no SPOF) are technical requirements.
B (security and resiliency) is also a technical requirement.
D (reduce operational costs) directly aligns with business goals, making it the correct business requirement.

Question No : 7

An architect is tasked to plan for an upgrade of an existing vSphere-only deployment utilizing vSAN to VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF).
Which three new infrastructure components are required for the upgrade? (Choose three.)

• A.NSX
• B.SDDC Manager
• C.VCF Identity Broker
• D.VCF Operations
• E.vSphere Supervisor

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Upgrading a vSphere + vSAN environment to a full VMware Cloud Foundation deployment requires introducing the components that make up the integrated software-defined data center (SDDC):
A. NSX C Provides network virtualization, overlay segments, distributed firewalling, and routing required in VCF.
B. SDDC Manager C The core management and lifecycle automation tool of VCF, responsible for bring-up, patching, and upgrades.
E. vSphere Supervisor C Required to enable VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG) and modern application deployment in VCF environments.
Why not the others?
C. VCF Identity Broker C Provides federated authentication but is not mandatory for initial upgrade.
It is optional depending on identity requirements.
D. VCF Operations C This is VMware Aria Operations (for monitoring/analytics). While strongly recommended, it is not required to upgrade from vSphere/vSAN to VCF.

Question No : 8

A customer is designing a multi-site VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and vSAN Data Protection (DP) architecture to ensure business continuity. The customer's support team must validate the failover and recovery processes before being allowed to deploy into production.
Which two validation activities should be included in the strategy to meet the objective? (Choose two.)

• A.Conduct recovery plan testing annually, as frequent testing may introduce instability in DR environments.
• B.Assess the impact of failover scenarios on application dependencies and inter-site connectivity.
• C.Configure recovery plans based on generic VMware best practices rather than workload-specific requirements to decrease the architecture complexity.
• D.Perform planned and unplanned failover tests in a controlled environment to validate recovery time objectives.
• E.Configure vSphere HA and DRS features to manage disaster recovery automatically, eliminating the need for additional validation.

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Validating a BCDR strategy in VCF with vSAN DP requires both impact analysis and active testing:
B. Assess the impact of failover scenarios C Ensures application dependencies, such as inter-site routing, DNS, and external services, are validated against failover scenarios. This prevents unexpected downtime due to overlooked dependencies.
D. Planned and unplanned failover tests C VMware best practices emphasize testing both scheduled and unexpected recovery workflows to validate RTOs and confirm operational procedures.
Why not the others?
A (annual testing only) contradicts VMware guidance, which recommends frequent and scenario-based validation.
C (generic plans) reduces workload alignment; VMware requires application-aware recovery plans.
E (vSphere HA/DRS) does not replace site-level recovery orchestration and validation ― HA/DRS only handles local host failures, not site disasters.

Question No : 9

A large financial institution is designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution.
During initial discovery meetings:
• Management of the physical network is outsourced.
• VMware team cannot reconfigure the physical network.
• Environment uses Link Aggregation.
How does this impact design?

• A.NIC teaming for Virtual Standard Switch (vSS) must be configured.
• B.LACP fallback must be configured.
• C.Link Aggregation cannot be used for Workload Domains.
• D.Link Aggregation cannot be used in the Management Domain.

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
VCF 9.0 design documentation specifies that LACP-based link aggregation between ESXi and ToR switches is supported only when LACP failback mode is configured, ensuring a link can pass traffic before LACP PDUs are received. Since the VMware team cannot change physical networking and aggregation is in place, the design must mandate LACP fallback to maintain compatibility and
connectivity resilience. Other answers are incorrect because VCF supports link aggregation in both management and workload domains if properly configured.
Reference: VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 C Network Link Aggregation Design Requirements.

Question No : 10

Which statement would the architect document as a design decision within the logical design?

• A.Service Levels will align with the defined Business Impact Analysis findings.
• B.The solution must provide the ability to patch an existing template.
• C.The VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) latency sensitivity value will be set to high for the workload cluster.
• D.vSphere High Availability (HA) will be enabled.

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Logical design decisions specify how features are configured to meet conceptual requirements. In VMware Cloud Foundation logical design, tuning VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS)
parameters such as latency sensitivity for workload clusters is explicitly part of logical design because it directly impacts workload performance and cluster behavior. Options A and B are conceptual or operational, and option D is a standard best practice at the physical design layer. VMware documents emphasize that logical design choices define how features (like DRS, HA, and vSAN policies) are implemented.
Reference: VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Design Guide C Logical Design Elements.

Question No : 11

An architect is designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) deployment to meet the following design requirements:
• Tenants need dedicated external network access.
• The number of NSX Edge clusters should be minimized.
To fulfill these requirements, the architect made a design decision to use a Workload Networking VPC with Full Services Model.
Which additional design decision should be considered as part of the logical network design?

• A.Deploy the maximum number of 10 NSX Edges into a single Edge cluster.
• B.Install two NSX bare metal Edges with multiple physical interfaces to separate tenants.
• C.Use Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) lite to create a separate VRF TO Gateway for each tenant.
• D.Use NSX Federation providing a dedicated NSX instance for each tenant.

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
The NSX VPC Full Services Model allows tenant isolation using VRF-lite, enabling independent routing tables within the same Tier-0 gateway.
This ensures dedicated external access without requiring a separate NSX Edge cluster per tenant, thereby minimizing the number of Edge clusters.
VMware VCF 9.0 recommends VRF Lite for multi-tenant environments with centralized Edge clusters and segmented routing needs.

Question No : 12

An architect is designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based solution. The company policy mandates that all VCF patches and upgrades must be tested in a development environment before applying to production.
Which VCF construct design decision would comply with this mandate?

• A.Deploy two VCF vSphere Clusters within a VCF Domain.
• B.Deploy two VCF Instances within a VCF Fleet.
• C.Deploy two VCF Domains within a VCF Instance.
• D.Deploy two VCF Fleets within a VCF Private Cloud.

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Deploying two VCF Instances allows isolation between environments. One instance can serve as development/test and the other as production.
This separation enables patch/upgrade validation without impacting production. VCF architecture supports managing multiple VCF instances in a Fleet for centralized visibility and policy enforcement.
VMware explicitly recommends separating environments for lifecycle testing in environments with strict change control policies.

Question No : 13

An architect is responsible for designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based solution for a customer.
During a discovery workshop, the following requirements were stated by the customer:
• All applications/workloads designated as business critical have a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of
1 business hour.
• The infrastructure components of the VCF solution must have a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of 4 business hours.
In the context provided, what does the RTO determine?

• A.The maximum tolerable amount of time allowed before an application/service should be recovered to a usable state
• B.The maximum amount of data loss that can be tolerated
• C.The minimum tolerable amount of time allowed before an application/service should be recovered to a usable state
• D.The minimum amount of data loss that can be tolerated

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
RTO (Recovery Time Objective) defines how quickly a system/service must be restored after a disruption. In this scenario, the infrastructure components should be fully functional within 4 hours.
This contrasts with RPO, which measures data loss tolerance. RTO focuses on downtime tolerance.
VMware Cloud Foundation documentation on BCDR (Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery) explicitly defines these metrics during availability planning.

Question No : 14

An architect is tasked with designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution for a financial services organization to modernize its core banking applications and high-frequency trading systems using vSAN.
The following requirements were gathered:
• For critical transactional database workloads, the solution must provide low-latency and high performance storage.
• For all non-critical workloads, the solution must provide the most efficient capacity utilization.
Which three design decisions would the architect make to meet the requirements for the workload domain cluster? (Choose three.)

• A.Configure vSAN Policies (RAID-5) for all critical transactional database workloads.
• B.Deploy a vSAN OSA (All-NVMe) cluster with a minimum of 4 nodes.
• C.Deploy a vSAN ESA cluster with a minimum of 6 nodes.
• D.Configure vSAN Policies (RAID-5/6) for all non-critical workloads.
• E.Configure vSAN Policies (RAID-1) for all workloads.
• F.Configure vSAN Policies (RAID-1) for all critical transactional database workloads.

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
RAID-1 policies offer low latency and high performance, ideal for critical workloads such as transactional databases.
RAID-5/6 provides efficient capacity usage, which is preferred for non-critical workloads.
VMware recommends the vSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA) with 6 nodes minimum for performance and redundancy.
The ESA supports better performance with fewer overheads than OSA. VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 promotes using vSAN ESA for mission-critical workloads when latency is a priority.

Question No : 15

An architect has been tasked with designing a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution.
The following design decisions were documented after requirements gathering workshops with the customer:
• Deploy a VCF Fleet into each of the DC1 and DC2 datacenters.
• Deploy two VCF instances (VCF1 and VCF2) into each VCF Fleet.
• Use the existing, supported third-party solution to provide Multifactor Authentication (MFA) for users accessing the VCF components.
The architect also documented the following information from the workshops:
• The customer wants to minimize the risk of a single operational task performed by an administrator impacting multiple components.
• The customer wants to avoid single points of failure by using high availability architectures.
Which two design decisions should the architect include for the authentication approach based on the information provided? (Choose two.)

• A.Use the external VCF Identity Broker model.
• B.Deploy a shared VCF Identity Broker for all VCF Instances across all VCF Fleets.
• C.Deploy a dedicated VCF Identity Broker for each VCF instance within a VCF Fleet.
• D.Deploy a shared VCF Identity Broker for all VCF instances within a VCF Fleet.
• E.Use the embedded VCF Identity Broker model.

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
To support MFA and integration with third-party authentication, the external VCF Identity Broker model (VIDB) is required. The external model is designed to interface with advanced identity providers supporting MFA, which the embedded model cannot accommodate.
Furthermore, to avoid shared components across multiple VCF instances and to reduce the impact of operational errors (e.g., configuration or certificate issues), a dedicated Identity Broker per VCF instance ensures complete separation and fault isolation.
This approach aligns with VMware’s recommended high availability and security practices for VCF 9.0. It ensures the MFA requirement is met and operational risks are minimized.
