VMware vSAN Administrator (2025) — Question 52

An architect is responsible for designing a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based private cloud. During the discovery workshops, the following information was captured from key customer stakeholders:
The private cloud will operate with three different monitoring levels:
For the Self-Managed Service, the solution will be responsible for monitoring the virtual machine construct only.
For the OS Managed Service, the solution will be responsible for monitoring operating system level metrics and virtual machine constructs.
For the Fully Managed Service, the solution will be responsible for monitoring approved infrastructure applications, operating system level metrics, and virtual machine constructs.
The approved infrastructure applications are: Microsoft IIS, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PostgresSQL, Tomcat Server, and Apache HTTPD.
For an application team to be able to deploy workloads into the private cloud, each workload must subscribe to a monitoring level at request time or when the service is onboarded.
The solution must ensure minimal management overhead for the ongoing management monitoring agents.
Which two design decision should the architect make to meet the stated monitoring requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Deploy the Open Source Telegraf Agent for all workloads that subscribe to the Fully Managed service.
• B. Configure the Service Discovery for all workloads that subscribe to the Self-Managed service.
• C. Deploy the Managed Telegraf Agent for all workloads that subscribe to the Fully Managed service.
• D. Deploy the Managed Telegraf Agent for all workloads that subscribe Self-Managed service.
• E. Deploy the Managed Telegraf Agent for all workloads that subscribe to the OS Managed service.

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The correct answers are C and E because the Fully Managed Service requires the Managed Telegraf Agent to monitor infrastructure applications effectively, while the OS Managed Service also necessitates the Managed Telegraf Agent to meet its monitoring requirements. Options A and D are incorrect as the Open Source Telegraf Agent may not provide the necessary features for the Fully Managed service, and the Self-Managed service does not require the Managed Telegraf Agent for its limited monitoring scope.
