VMware NSX-T Data Center for Operators — Question 80

A cloud administrator is tasked with deploying two virtual machines (APP01 and APP02) to a software-defined data center (SDDC) with multiple clusters hosted in VMware Cloud on AWS based on the following requirements:
APP01 and APP02 should NOT run on the same host.
Only three hosts in the SDDC are entitled to run the software installed on these servers.
All entitled hosts are in cluster 1.
Which two actions should the administrator take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Create a Disable DRS vMotion policy.
• B. Create a VM-VM anti-affinity policy.
• C. Deploy APP01 to Cluster 1 and APP02 to cluster 2.
• D. Create a VM-Host anti-affinity policy.
• E. Create a VM-Host affinity policy.

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a VM-VM anti-affinity policy ensures that APP01 and APP02 do not reside on the same host. Option E is also correct because a VM-Host affinity policy would allow both VMs to be scheduled on the same hosts, which is not desired here. The other options either do not address the requirement of separation or are not applicable given the cloud environment constraints.
