VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design) — Question 34
An architect is creating the design for a vSphere platform that will be used as the target for a migration from multiple legacy vSphere platforms that are being decommissioned. The customer has provided the following information:
Each legacy platform has its own set of virtual machine templates stored in OVF format.
All of the templates need to be migrated to the new platform.
After migration, the templates should be centralized into a single location.
The templates must be accessible to all clusters in the new platform vCenter instance.
Any new templates added to the central location must be automatically available to all clusters.
Administrators must be able to deploy new virtual machines directly from the template instances.
The customer also confirmed that after the migrations are complete, the new platform will be the only vSphere solution available.
Which design choice should the architect evaluate in the logical design for the storage and management of virtual machine templates?
Answer options
- A. Use a dedicated datastore on each vSphere cluster
- B. Use a shared datastore on each vSphere cluster
- C. Use a subscribed content library
- D. Use a local content library
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D, as a local content library allows for the centralized management of virtual machine templates while ensuring they are accessible to all clusters within the vCenter instance. Options A and B do not provide the centralized access required, and C, while beneficial, does not meet the requirement for immediate availability of new templates across all clusters.
