VMware NSX-T Advanced Deployment (VCAP-NV Deploy) — Question 41

A company is planning to deploy a new cloud management solution that will allow business users to deploy servers via a self-service portal. After the initial discovery workshop with the new service owner, the architect has gained the following key information about the project:
✑ In an effort to increase user experience, the IT Manager has requested that all deployments do not rely on manual approvals.
✑ The current IT team is made up of five engineers but only one engineer has any experience writing scripts or automating server deployments.
✑ The current version of the CMDB solution has no API available to create or destroy configuration items (CI) and there is no budget for upgrades.
✑ Currently all CMDB activities are completed manually via service request with an SLA of 4 hours.
✑ The customer has one data center with a requirement of protection against data center failure.
✑ The expected availability SLA (measured monthly) will be 99.5%.
✑ The deployment of a server is expected to take no longer than 2 hours.
Given the information provided, which two risks should the architect document within the design? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Allowing self-service deployments of servers by business users.
• B. The lack of REST-API for IP address management solution.
• C. The end to end server deployment cannot be achieved in the time window.
• D. There is insufficient resources available to complete the project.
• E. The customer only has a single data center location.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Option B is a risk because the lack of a REST-API for IP address management can hinder automation and integration, making deployments more challenging. Option C is valid as the expected deployment time may not align with the project's requirements, risking potential delays. The other options do not highlight immediate risks related to the deployment process as clearly as B and C do.
