VMware Carbon Black Cloud Professional — Question 9

A VMware Horizon administrator is tasked with deployment of a desktop pool, which should fulfill these requirements:
End-users should always get the same desktop VM.
Backups with the existing VMware image-based backup tool should be supported.
Desktop VMs will be cloned on a weekly basis per vSphere API.
Which desktop solution can accomplish this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Automated Desktop Pool, based on Dedicated Full Clone Virtual Machines.
• B. Automated Desktop Pool, based on floating Instant Clones.
• C. Automated Desktop Pool, based on dedicated Instant Clones.
• D. Automated Desktop Pool, based on Floating Full Clone Virtual Machines.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a Dedicated Full Clone Virtual Machine ensures that each user receives the same desktop, which is essential for user consistency. The other options, such as floating Instant Clones or dedicated Instant Clones, do not guarantee that users will always get the same VM, and floating Full Clones do not meet the requirement for consistent backups with the image-based tool.
