VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2020) — Question 52

An architect is tasked with designing a VMware Cloud Foundation solution containing two regions. The company wants to make use of existing investments where possible, including re-use of compute, storage, and networking hardware as well as existing implementations of software.
The two sites are well connected with 10Gbps and a round trip latency of 230ms between them. The customer has existing installations of vRealize Operations that they must preserve for historical purposes. Their existing backup solution supports a data retention policy of three years. All data must be encrypted while at rest. They also have a centralized syslog repository that all capable devices must send or forward logs to for deep data analytics.
Which two constraints could impact this design? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. RTT Latency is 230ms between sites.
• B. The Data Retention Policy is too long.
• C. There is an existing vRealize Operations instance.
• D. vMotion must be encrypted.
• E. All syslog events must be sent to a third-party.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The round-trip latency of 230ms between sites can significantly impact performance and application responsiveness, which is why A is a valid constraint. Additionally, preserving the existing vRealize Operations instance is crucial for historical data, making C another valid constraint. The other options either do not reflect significant limitations or do not align with the requirements stated in the scenario.
