VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2022) — Question 3

An administrator is tasked with deploying a VMware Cloud Foundation environment that consists of three VI Workload Domains. Each VI Workload Domain is comprised of two clusters, with 18 hosts in each cluster.
Which option fulfills this requirement while minimizing the number of NSX-T Manager instances?

Answer options

• A. Deploy one medium-sized NSX-T Manager cluster per VI Workload Domain.
• B. Deploy one medium-sized NSX-T Manager cluster for all VI Workload Domains.
• C. Deploy one large-sized NSX-T Manager cluster per VI Workload Domain.
• D. Deploy one large-sized NSX-T Manager cluster for all VI Workload Domains.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because deploying one large-sized NSX-T Manager cluster for all VI Workload Domains optimizes resource usage and minimizes management overhead. Options A and C suggest creating separate clusters for each domain, which increases complexity and resource consumption. Option B, while reducing the number of clusters, does not utilize the large size which is necessary for handling the workload effectively.
