VMware 3V0-21.23 - VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design
An architect is updating the design for a vSphere environment.
During a workshop focused on security, the following has been identified:
It has been determined that any configuration of ESXi hosts can only be completed via VMware vCenter
The Direct Console User Interface (DCUI) service must be disabled on ESXi hosts
The SSH service must be disabled on ESXi hosts
Based on the information from the workshop, which element does the architect need to include in the design?
An architect is tasked with designing a new vSphere environment for a customer. The new environment must:
Be standardized, repeatable, and consistent
Contain the same common heterogenous components that run from commercial hardware across an on-premises, edge, and broad hybrid cloud eco-system
Provide intrinsic and intelligent security in every component from the hypervisor to the storage, networking, and management layers
Which VMware solution will satisfy these requirements?
An architect is documenting the design for a new multi-site vSphere solution. The customer has informed the architect that the workloads hosted on the solution are managed by application teams who must perform a number of steps to return the application to service following a failover of the workloads to the secondary site. These steps are defined as the Work Recovery Time (WRT). The customer has provided the architect with the following information about the workloads, including the recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO):
Critical workloads have a WRT of 12Â hours
Production workloads have a WRT of 24Â hours
Development workloads have a WRT of 24Â hours
All workloads have an RPO of 4Â hours
Critical workloads have an RTO of 1Â hour
Production workloads have an RTO of 12Â hours
Development workloads have an RTO of 24Â hours
The customer has also confirmed that production and development workloads are managed by the same team and the disaster recovery solution will not begin the recovery of the development workloads until all critical and production workloads have been recovered at the secondary site.
Which three statements would the architect document as the maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) for workloads within the design? (Choose three.)
An architect has made the following assumptions:
The customer will provide licensing for the vSphere platform.
The storage hardware has sufficient capacity for future workload scale.
The data center offers sufficient power, cooling and rack space for workload scale.
Which two risks must be documented in the design document in response to these assumptions? (Choose two.)
An architect is tasked with designing a solution to monitor the operational state of a VMware Cloud Foundation environment through ad-hoc reporting and custom dashboards, alerts, and notifications.
Using VMware Validated Solutions, which validated solution can the architect leverage to meet this requirement?
What is a benefit of using workload domains in VMware Cloud Foundation?
An architect is discussing recoverability considerations for a new vSphere solution as part of a requirements workshop. The customer has informed the architect that the company policy is to not perform backups of ESXi hosts due to their selected backup software not supporting the ESXi software. In the past, when hosts have experienced failures, the hosts have been reinstalled from the VMware provided ESXi image and manually configured by an administrator. The customer asks the architect to design a solution that will reduce the manual effort required by the administrator to return a failed host to service.
What could the architect include in the design to meet the customer's request?
An architect is designing the virtual networking components of a vSphere-based solution that will provide an environment for the development of a new latency sensitive stock trading application.
The following information was identified within the initial meeting with the customer:
The customer has vCenter Standard and vSphere Standard licenses left over from a previous project.
The customer's CFO has approved budget for additional purchases, if required.
The following requirements were also identified during the meeting:
The solution must support 500 development workloads concurrently running in the secondary site.
The solution must support the ability to complete all vSphere Operational Management centrally.
The solution must ensure business-critical applications are not impacted by vSphere system-level operations.
Given the requirements, the architect has decided on a single 20-node cluster for development.
Which three additional design decisions should the architect make to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)
An architect is designing a new vSphere solution. The customer has stated that the solution will be used to host different types of applications, some of which have special considerations. The customer has provided the following information in relation to the special considerations:
The applications are sensitive to the time it takes for CPUs to be accessible to process instructions
The applications send and receive large amounts of data across the network
The applications are sensitive to the time it takes for the data to be sent and received at the destination
What could the architect include in the design for these considerations?
An architect is reviewing the information provided by a customer for a new vSphere solution design. The customer has stated that some of the virtual machines (VMs) that will be hosted on the new solution handle credit card information from their users as part of an online payment application, and that some of the information will need to be stored temporarily to allow transactions to be completed. Therefore, the solution must be designed to be able to mask or hash the stored information as they will need to show compliance against common industry standards that contain references to the requirements for handling sensitive information.
Which design quality is being requested by the customer?
