VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design) — Question 19

A company is expanding and will be deploying new vSphere environments in multiple new locations. All environments use datastores backed by multiple storage technologies and vendors.
How can the architect create a design to efficiently and repeatedly distribute existing company virtual machine (VM) templates to multiple new locations?

Answer options

• A. Use storage array replication tools to replicate the storage volume holding the company VM templates to each remote site.
• B. Upload company templates to a cloud provider and download to each new location.
• C. Create a published content library and have the new locations subscribe to it.
• D. Create a local content library at each site and manually copy only needed templates.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as creating a published content library allows for efficient updates and distribution of VM templates to multiple locations with minimal manual intervention. Option A is less efficient due to potential replication delays and storage dependencies. Option B introduces unnecessary complexity and reliance on a cloud provider, while Option D requires manual effort and does not scale well across multiple sites.
