VMware vSAN 8.x Administrator — Question 55
An administrator is documenting the design for a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution. During discovery workshops with the customer the following information was shared with the architect:
All users and administrators of the solution will need to be authenticated using accounts in the corporate directory service.
The solution will need to be deployed across two geographically separate locations and run in an Active/Standby configuration where supported.
The management applications deployed as part of the solution will need to be recovered to the standby location in the event of a disaster.
All management applications will need to be deployed into a management tooling zone of the network which is separated from the corporate network zone by multiple firewalls.
The corporate directory service is deployed in the corporate zone.
There is an internal organization policy which requires each application instance (management or end user) to detail the ports that access is required on through the firewall separately.
Firewall rule requests are processed manually one application instance at a time and typically take a minimum of 8 weeks to complete.
The customer also informed the architect that the new solution needs to be deployed and ready to start the organization's acceptance into service process within 3 months as it is a dependency in the deployment of a business critical application.
When considering the design for the Cloud Automation and Operations products within the VCF solution, which three design decisions should the architect include based on this information? (Choose three.)
Answer options
- A. The Cloud Automation and Operations products will be integrated with a single instance of an Identity Broker solution at the primary site.
- B. The Cloud Automation and Operations products will be integrated directly with the corporate directory service.
- C. The Identity Broker solution will be deployed at the primary site and failed over to the standby site in case of a disaster.
- D. The Identity Broker solution will be deployed at both the primary and standby site.
- E. The Identity Broker solution will be connected with the corporate directory service for user authentication.
- F. The Cloud Automation and Operations products will be reconfigured to integrate with the Identity Broker solution instance at the standby site in case of a Disaster Recovery incident.
Correct answer: A, C, E
Explanation
The correct answers A, C, and E align with the requirements of integrating with the corporate directory for authentication, ensuring disaster recovery capabilities, and utilizing a single Identity Broker at the primary site for streamlined management. Options B and D do not meet the requirement of a single instance for management efficiency, while F is unnecessary since the primary setup already addresses disaster recovery needs.
