VMware vSphere 7.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design 2021) — Question 77

What is a benefit of using a scale-out method for handling vSphere cluster growth?

Answer options

• A. An increase in the recovery time objective (RTO) for the cluster
• B. Faster to reach the limit of virtual machines per host
• C. An overall reduction in the license costs for the cluster
• D. Less potential impact to virtual machines during a single host failure

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, highlights that a scale-out method minimizes the effect on virtual machines if one host fails, thanks to the distributed nature of resources. Options A and B are incorrect as they suggest negative outcomes, and option C may not be true since licensing costs can vary based on different factors.
