VMware vSAN Administrator (2025) — Question 83

An architect is responsible for designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based private cloud for a customer. During the customer requirements gathering workshop, the customer has stated the following:

• All Platinum application/services must have an availability SLA of 99.99%.
• All Gold application/services must have an availability SLA of 99.9%.
• All Silver application/services must have an availability SLA of 99%.
• The private cloud must have an availability SLA of 99.9%.

What should the architect recommend to meet the stated requirements?

Answer options

• A. The private cloud SLA can only be met using multiple VMware Cloud Foundation instances configured as a single VCF Fleet.
• B. The platinum service availability requirements must be met by configuring Proactive High Availability (HA) on the workload domain.
• C. The platinum service availability requirements must be met by the application.
• D. The private cloud must only be used to host Silver and Gold services.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the platinum application's availability requirements must be inherently managed by the application itself to meet the 99.99% SLA. Options A and B suggest configurations that do not address the responsibility of the application, while option D fails to meet the requirements for all service levels.
