VMware vSAN 8.x Administrator — Question 35

As part of the requirement gathering phase an architect identified following requirement for the newly deployed SDDC environment:
Reduce the network latency between two application virtual machines.
To meet that application owner's goal, which design decision should be included in the design?

Answer options

• A. Configure DRS rule to keep the application virtual machines on the same ESXi hosts.
• B. Configure Storage DRS rule to keep the application virtual machines on different datastores.
• C. Configure DRS rule to separate the application virtual machines to different ESXi hosts.
• D. Configure Storage DRS rule to keep the application virtual machines on the same datastore.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because placing the application virtual machines on the same ESXi host minimizes network latency as they can communicate directly without traversing the network. Options B and D would not help in reducing latency but instead focus on storage configurations, while option C would actually increase latency by separating the VMs across different hosts.
