VMware Cloud Foundation 3.x Administrator — Question 58

A vSphere administrator takes a snapshot before logging into a VM to preserve the current state in case of a problem.
Assuming this process is repeated every day for over 30 days, what two results will happen? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The virtual machine's performance will decrease.
• B. The virtual machine can end up consuming more space on the datastore than assigned.
• C. The administrator will have backups for the entire month.
• D. The administrator has successfully cloned the VM 30 times.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Taking multiple snapshots can lead to performance degradation due to the increased overhead of managing these snapshots (A). Additionally, the accumulated snapshots can consume significant datastore space, possibly exceeding the originally allocated amount (B). However, the snapshots do not equate to full backups for the month (C) or create clones of the VM (D).
