VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2022) — Question 106

VCF design workshops have been conducted, and the architect collected the following customer requirements for the newly planned VCF infrastructure:

• The new VCF infrastructure is targeting two zones: DEV/UAT and DMZ.
• The infrastructure team requested that the number of management components be minimized as much as possible.
• Eight hosts should be ordered for the DEV/UAT environment.
• Four hosts should be ordered for the DMZ environment.
• The DEV/UAT workloads must comply with an erasure coding vSAN storage policy and have the ability to tolerate the failure of two hosts.

Which workload domain sizing will be required to achieve these requirements?

Answer options

• A. 12-hosts workload domain for both zones, having an 8-hosts DEV/UAT cluster, and a 4-hosts DMZ cluster
• B. 8-hosts DEV/UAT workload domain, having an 8-hosts DEV/UAT cluster, and a 4-hosts DMZ workload domain, having a 4-hosts DMZ cluster
• C. 8-hosts DEV/UAT workload domain, having a 4-hosts DEV cluster, and a 4-hosts UAT cluster, in addition to a 4-hosts DMZ workload domain, having a 4-hosts DMZ cluster
• D. 12-hosts workload domain for both zones, having a 4-hosts DEV cluster, a 4-hosts UAT cluster, and a 4-hosts DMZ cluster

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it provides the necessary 12 hosts for the workload domain, allowing for an 8-host DEV/UAT cluster and a 4-host DMZ cluster, which meets the requirements for host count and failure tolerance. The other options either do not meet the required host counts or do not correctly allocate hosts to the DEV and DMZ zones as specified in the requirements.
