VMware vSAN Administrator (2025) — Question 20

An architect is expanding an existing private cloud infrastructure based on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). the requirement is to deploy two additional instances of VCF at two separate datacenters within the existing private cloud with minimal additional footprint.
Datacenter A is 90 miles from the existing VCF fleet instance with a network round trip time of 90ms.
Datacenter B is 120 miles from the existing VCF fleet instance with a network round trip time of 120ms.
Which design decision would meet the requirement for this expansion?

Answer options

• A. Deploy two additional VCF instances within the existing VCF fleet, one each in datacenters A and B.
• B. Deploy an additional VCF fleet in datacenter B and an additional VCF instance within the existing VCF fleet in datacenter A.
• C. Deploy two additional VCF fleets, one for each VCF instance in datacenters A and B.
• D. Deploy an additional VCF fleet in datacenter A and an additional VCF instance within the existing VCF fleet in datacenter B.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it allows for an additional VCF fleet to be deployed in the more distant datacenter B, which requires more resources due to its higher latency, while also utilizing the existing VCF fleet in datacenter A efficiently. Option A fails to optimize resource allocation, C suggests unnecessary duplication of fleets, and D does not effectively address the distances and latencies involved.
