VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2022) — Question 4

A VMware architect has been asked to design a VMware Cloud Foundation solution for an online gaming company.
The Chief Information Officer (CIO) of the company has asked the architect to focus on these requirements:
The environment should be optimized for maximum hardware utilization.
The environment should be highly available.
Which method meets these requirements and is supported for vCenter Server with VMware Cloud Foundation?

Answer options

• A. Storage level snapshots
• B. vCenter HA
• C. vSphere HA
• D. vSphere FT

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, vSphere HA, is designed to provide high availability for virtual machines by automatically restarting them on other hosts in the cluster in the event of a failure, thus ensuring continuous operation and optimized hardware use. In contrast, vCenter HA focuses on protecting the vCenter Server itself, while vSphere FT offers fault tolerance but does not maximize resource utilization as effectively as vSphere HA.
