The following is a list of requirements from a discovery workshop for a new VMware hosting platform system design:
REQ001 - The architecture must support recoverability to the VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (VCDR) service.
REQ002 - The architecture must support high availability (HA) and fault tolerance (FT).
REQ003 - The architecture must support reducing existing energy consumption and carbon footprint.
REQ004 - The architecture must provide support for network virtualization using distributed virtual switches.
Which requirement would be classified as a business (formerly functional) requirement?
An architect is designing a new vSphere-based solution for a customer.
During a requirements gathering workshop, the following information is provided:
0The solution must have a primary and secondary (isolated) environment
The solution must support orchestration to address application dependencies
The isolated environment must be able to scale on demand in case of a DR scenario
The solution is managed through a single interface
Which solution should the architect include in this design?
Which four factors should an architect consider when calculating the number of hosts required for a new multi-site vSphere-based solution that utilizes external storage? (Choose four.)
An architect is responsible for the design of a greenfield vSphere-based solution for hosting a new web-based application. The customer has provided the following high-level information:
The solution will host a highly transactional web application that is spread across multiple workloads within a vSphere cluster.
The workloads should be distributed evenly across the hosts to maximize the performance and availability of the web application.
The architect has made various design decisions, including:
The solution will deploy vSphere distributed switches for all virtual networking.
Which network load balancing method should the architect document in the physical design to meet the requirements?
An architect is responsible for designing a vSphere-based solution for a customer. The customer has the following requirements:
The solution must provide redundancy and load balancing for storage traffic
The solution must tolerate at least one failure
There must be no single point of failure in the solution
Which three considerations regarding physical host design should the architect analyze when making storage related design decisions? (Choose three.)
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 12 hours
Production workloads have a WRT of 24 hours
Development workloads have a WRT of 24 hours
All workloads have an RPO of 4 hours
Critical workloads have an RTO of 1 hour
Production workloads have an RTO of 12 hours
Development workloads have an RTO of 24 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 is holding a requirements workshop with a customer for a new vSphere solution design. The customer states that the solution should make it easy to identify and apply patches or updates to ESXi hosts, including the ability to pre-stage the files on the ESXi hosts.
Which design quality is being referenced by the customer?
A company is expanding and will be deploying new vSphere environments in multiple new locations. All environments use datastores backed by multiple storage technologies and vendors.
How can the architect create a design to efficiently and repeatedly distribute existing company virtual machine (VM) templates to multiple new locations?
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 has been tasked with designing a greenfield hosting platform.
As part of a workshop, it is identified that the new solution must support the following:
Provide a centralized way to enforce virtual network security policy
Provide network security for both virtual machines and containerized applications
Deny network access between all workloads by default
Linked services should be connected to the same virtual port groups by default
Support for the security teams network monitoring solution
Which elements should the architect include in the design to meet the identified requirements?
