Question 1

An architect is designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based private cloud solution for a customer. The customer has stated the following requirement:

* All management tooling must be resilient against a single ESXi host failure

When considering the design decisions for VMware Aria Suite components, what should the Architect document to support the stated requirement?

AThe solution will deploy the VCF Workload domain in a stretched topology across two sites.

BThe solution will deploy three Aria Automation appliances in a clustered topology.

CThe solution will deploy Aria Suite Lifecycle in a clustered topology.

DThe solution will deploy an external load balancer for Aria Operations Cloud Proxies.

Answer : B

Resilience against a single ESXi host failure requires high availability (HA) for management components in VCF. VMware Aria Suite, including Aria Automation, supports HA via clustering. Option B, deploying 'three Aria Automation appliances in a clustered topology,' ensures that if one host fails, the remaining two can maintain service, meeting the requirement directly. A cluster of three nodes is the minimum for HA in Aria Automation, providing fault tolerance within a VCF management domain. Option A (stretched workload domain) is unrelated to management tooling HA, C (Aria Suite Lifecycle clustering) isn't a standard HA feature for that component, and D (load balancer for Operations proxies) addresses a different component and purpose.

Question 2

An architect is working with an organization on the creation of a new Private Cloud Platform. The organization has provided the following business objectives they wish to achieve with the new platform:

* Reduce the operating costs associated with running separate areas of hosting capacity and separate/duplicate systems.

* Reduce the risks, time, and effort associated with managing platforms that are out of vendor support.

* Reduce the operating costs associated with Public Cloud usage.

* Reduce the risks associated with having incomplete documentation for application inventory and dependency mappings.

They have grouped these business objectives into a set of use cases:

* Migration - Provide a platform that supports the migration of virtualized workloads from existing platforms.

* Containerization - Provide a platform that supports the deployment of containerized workloads.

* Centralization and Consolidation - Provide a central private cloud platform accessible to all relevant areas of the business.

When considering these objectives and use cases, what should the architect include in the design documentation as a part of the Conceptual Model?

AAn assumption that the new platform will co-exist with the existing platforms for a period of time to allow workloads to be migrated in a phased approach

BA risk that the existing platforms are running Linux Operating Systems that are out of vendor support

CAn assumption that a complete mapping of application dependencies is not available

DA requirement that the solution will provide the capability to migrate Kubernetes-based workloads from the Public Cloud

Answer : A

The Conceptual Model in VCF outlines high-level assumptions and approaches to meet objectives. Option A, assuming 'co-existence with existing platforms for phased migration,' directly supports the Migration and Consolidation use cases, aligning with cost reduction and risk mitigation by enabling a controlled transition to the new VCF platform (e.g., using vMotion or HCX). Option B (Linux risk) is specific and unstated. Option C (dependency mapping) is a risk, not an assumption driving design. Option D (Kubernetes requirement) adds specificity beyond the stated objectives. A is foundational to VCF migration strategies.

Question 3

A customer has stated the following requirements for Aria Automation within their VCF implementation:

* Users must have access to specific resources based on their company organization

* Developers must only be able to provision to the Development environment

* Production workloads can be placed on DMZ or Production clusters

What two design decisions must be implemented to satisfy these requirements? (Choose two.)

ASeparate cloud zones will be configured for Development and Production.

BUsers' access to resources will be controlled by project membership.

CUsers' access to resources will be controlled by tenant membership.

DSeparate tenants will be configured for Development and Production.

Answer : A, B

Aria Automation in VCF 5.2 uses cloud zones and projects for resource control. Option A, 'Separate cloud zones for Development and Production,' restricts provisioning to specific clusters (Development, Production/DMZ), meeting the second and third requirements. Option B, 'Project membership,' assigns users to projects tied to specific zones and roles, satisfying organization-based access and developer restrictions. Option C (tenant membership) is for multi-tenancy, unnecessary here within one VCF instance. Option D (separate tenants) overcomplicates isolation beyond needs. A and B leverage Aria Automation's native capabilities effectively.

Question 4

A company will be expanding their existing VCF environment for a new application. The existing VCF environment currently has a management domain and two separate VI workload domains with different hardware profiles. The new application has the following requirements:

* The application will use significantly more memory than current workloads today.

* The application will have a limited number of licenses to run on hosts.

* Additional VCF and hardware costs have been approved for the application.

* The application will contain confidential customer information that requires isolation from other workloads.

What design recommendation should the administrator document?

ADeploy a new consolidated VCF instance and deploy the new application into it.

BA new Workload domain with hardware supporting the memory requirements of the new application should be implemented.

CEnough identical hardware for the management domain should be ordered to accommodate the new application requirements and a new workload domain should be designed for the application.

DPurchase enough matching hardware to accommodate the new application's memory requirements and expand an existing cluster to accommodate the new application. Use host affinity rules to manage the new licensing.

Answer : B

The requirements demand memory capacity, licensing control, cost approval, and isolation. Option B, 'A new Workload domain with hardware supporting the memory requirements,' satisfies all: a new VI domain in VCF 5.2 isolates workloads (via separate NSX instance), uses approved funds for high-memory hardware, and allows licensing via DRS affinity rules within the domain. Option A (new VCF instance) is overkill, duplicating management overhead. Option C (management domain hardware) misuses the management domain's purpose. Option D (expanding existing cluster) risks isolation breaches. B leverages VCF's workload domain architecture effectively.

Question 5

Which Operating System (OS) is not supported by Aria Operations for OS and Application Monitoring?

AWindows Server 2012 R2

BCentOS

CWindows Server 2012

DMacOS

Answer : D

Aria Operations (formerly vRealize Operations) in VCF 5.2 supports OS and application monitoring via agents (e.g., Telegraf) for specific OSes: Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, and various Linux distributions like CentOS. MacOS (D) is not listed as supported in the official documentation, as it's not a typical enterprise server OS in VCF environments. Options A, B, and C are explicitly supported for metrics collection, making D the correct exclusion.

Question 6

During the requirements gathering workshop for a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based Private Cloud solution, the customer states that the solution must:

* Provide sufficient capacity to migrate and run their existing workloads.

* Provide sufficient initial capacity to support a forecasted resource growth of 30% over the next 3 years.

When creating the design document, under which design quality should the architect classify these stated requirements?

AAvailability

BPerformance

CRecoverability

DManageability

Answer : B

These requirements focus on capacity and growth, key aspects of the Performance design quality in VCF, which ensures the solution meets compute, storage, and network demands over time. Availability (A) addresses uptime, Recoverability (C) data restoration, and Manageability (D) operational ease---none directly tie to capacity planning. Performance in VCF 5.2 includes sizing for current and future workloads, making B the correct classification.

Question 7

A VMware Cloud Foundation design incorporates the following technical requirements:

All management components must have their login sessions timeout after 2 minutes of inactivity.

Communication between management components should be limited to required ports only.

Modifications required by compliancy should not impact the management components' functionality.

What would be the recommendation from a design perspective that would aid in achieving the above requirements?

AConsult the vSphere Security Configuration kit

BLeverage the results of a vulnerability assessment and apply the recommendations

CConsult the Compliance Kit for VMware Cloud Foundation

DApply NSX DFW (Distributed Firewall) to achieve zero-trust

Answer : C

These requirements focus on security and compliance for VCF management components (e.g., vCenter, NSX Manager). Option C, 'Consult the Compliance Kit for VMware Cloud Foundation,' provides specific guidance on configuring session timeouts (via SSO settings), restricting ports (via firewall rules), and ensuring compliance changes maintain functionality, tailored to VCF 5.2. Option A (vSphere Security kit) is vSphere-specific, less comprehensive for VCF's multi-component environment. Option B (vulnerability assessment) is reactive, not prescriptive. Option D (NSX DFW) addresses networking but not session timeouts or compliance holistically. The VCF Compliance Kit is purpose-built for such requirements.
