VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2020) — Question 33

A customer has decided to combine management and user workloads into one domain.
Which three considerations for designing consolidated architecture of VMware Cloud Foundation must be noted? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Future migration from a consolidated architecture to a standard architecture will be possible only if VMware Cloud Foundation on VxRail deployment takes place.
• B. Consolidated architecture does not align with the VMware best practice of separating management workloads from customer workloads.
• C. Resource pools with shares, limits, and reservations must be used to isolate workloads when they coexist in the management cluster.
• D. VMware Cloud Foundation Multi-Instance Management does not support consolidated deployment architectures.
• E. The consolidated architecture design targets bigger VMware Cloud Foundation deployments.
• F. Management and user workloads are running under management vCenter.

Correct answer: B, C, F

Explanation

The correct answer is B, C, and F because a consolidated architecture goes against VMware best practices by mixing workloads, which can lead to resource contention. Option C highlights the need for resource pools to manage workload isolation effectively. Option F indicates that both workload types are managed under the same vCenter, which is a characteristic of a consolidated architecture.
