VMware Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR (2020) — Question 6

Why would developers choose to deploy an application as a vSphere Pod instead of a Tanzu Kubernetes cluster?

Answer options

• A. They need the application to run as privileged pods.
• B. The application works with sensitive customer data, and they want strong resource and security isolation.
• C. They want to have root level access to the control plane and worker nodes in the Kubernetes cluster.
• D. The application requires a version of Kubernetes that is above the version running on the supervisor cluster.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because deploying as a vSphere Pod provides enhanced resource and security isolation, which is crucial for handling sensitive customer data. Option A is incorrect as running privileged pods is not exclusive to vSphere Pods. Option C is misleading, as root access is not a primary reason for choosing vSphere Pods over Tanzu Kubernetes clusters. Option D is also incorrect since Kubernetes versions can often be managed within Tanzu environments.
