VMware Cloud on AWS Specialist — Question 22

Which two statements are true about the characteristics of the Default Storage Scale-Out policy? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Elastic DRS automatically sets to the Default Storage Scale-Out policy, adding hosts only when storage utilization exceeds a certain threshold.
• B. When the storage threshold of the Default Storage Scale-Out policy has been resolved, Elastic DRS automatically performs a scale-in operation.
• C. The Default Storage Scale-Out policy storage threshold level is set to meet SLA requirements and can not be superseded by other Elastic DRS policies.
• D. The Default Storage Scale-Out policy thresholds for CPU or memory usage are set higher than the other Elastic DRS policies.
• E. The Default Storage Scale-Out policy storage threshold is set 5% higher than the other Elastic DRS storage policies.

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

Option A is correct because Elastic DRS indeed automatically adjusts to the Default Storage Scale-Out policy based on storage utilization. Option E is also correct as it states that the storage threshold is set 5% higher than other policies. Other options are incorrect as they either misrepresent how Elastic DRS functions with scale-in operations or do not accurately describe the relationships between thresholds in the policies.
