VMware Cloud on AWS Specialist — Question 51

An administrator would like their VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC) cluster to scale down a host when CPU utilization drops below 60%
. Which Elastic DRS policy should be selected?

Answer options

• A. Optimize for Lowest Cost
• B. Optimize for Best Performance
• C. Default Storage Scale-Out
• D. Optimize for Rapid Scale-Out

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Optimize for Lowest Cost, because this policy is designed to reduce resources when demand decreases, which aligns with scaling down when CPU utilization is low. The other options focus on performance or rapid scaling, which do not address the need to minimize costs during low utilization periods.
