VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2022) — Question 40

A systems administrator is implementing stretched clusters in an environment with multiple Availability Zones (AZs).
Which statement accurately describes this design?

Answer options

• A. The Layer 3 gateway for the workload domain and Edge overlay networks must be highly available across the AZs.
• B. Layer 3 networks must be stretched between the AZs by the physical infrastructure.
• C. If VLAN is stretched between AZ1 and AZ2, the Layer 3 network must also be stretched between the two AZs.
• D. For VLANs that are stretched between AZs, configure load balancing in the Layer 3 gateway between AZs.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because if a VLAN is stretched between two Availability Zones, the Layer 3 network also needs to be stretched to ensure proper communication. Option A is incorrect as high availability of the Layer 3 gateway is not a requirement for the design itself. Option B is wrong because it suggests that Layer 3 networks must be managed by the physical infrastructure, which is not necessarily true. Option D is incorrect as load balancing configuration is not a requirement for stretched VLANs.
