VMware vSphere 7.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design 2021) — Question 18

The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for an organization is concerned about the security posture of the operating system images that are used for the provisioning of their Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. The organization is in a growth period. The organization is opening a new data center to launch its next phase of new SaaS-based solutions.
The DevOps team currently creates encrypted virtual machine (VM) templates that are used for various operating systems and adds these to the vSphere inventory. The DevOps team already uses a published content library and has been granted a role with the ability to add and delete library items.
The following requirements have been noted:
✑ Impacts to the DevOps team's operational processes must be kept to a minimum.
✑ The DevOps team must be able to regularly check out a copy of the image for updates and check in a new version of the image.
✑ Images must be synchronized from the primary data center to the new data center.
Which three recommendations should the architect make to design a content library solution that will meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Clone virtual machines as VM templates to the published content library
• B. Create a subscribed library from the published library and synchronize Open Virtualization Format (OVF) templates on-demand
• C. Create a subscription and publish VM templates to a subscribed content library
• D. Create a subscribed library from the published library and synchronize Open Virtualization Format (OVF) templates automatically
• E. Clone virtual machines as Open Virtualization Format (OVF) templates to the published content library
• F. Update the role for the DevOps team with new privileges

Correct answer: A, C, F

Explanation

The correct answers, A, C, and F, provide a solution that allows the DevOps team to efficiently manage VM templates while maintaining their operational processes. Cloning VM templates to the published library and creating a subscription allows for easy version control and updates, while updating their role ensures they have the necessary permissions. Options B, D, and E do not directly address the requirement for minimal impacts to operations or provide the necessary synchronization and update capabilities.
