VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2022) — Question 90

An architect is designing overlay networking and routing for two VMware Cloud Foundation VI workload domains.
The following requirements must be met in the design:
NSX-T Bare Metal Edge nodes are required to satisfy a requirement for extremely low latency.
The costs must be kept to a minimum.
Which design meets these customer requirements?

Answer options

• A. Create separate NSX-T Manager clusters for each workload domain, and then create separate NSX-T Bare Metal Edge clusters for each workload domain.
• B. Place the Bare Metal Edge nodes in the same rack as the management domain hosts, and then add the NSX-T Bare Metal Edge cluster to the management domain NSX-T Manager cluster.
• C. Share an NSX-T Manager cluster between both workload domains, and then add the NSX-T Bare Metal Edge cluster to the shared NSX-T Manager cluster.
• D. Create separate NSX-T Manager clusters for each workload domain, and then create a single NSX-T Bare Metal Edge cluster to be shared between NSX-T Manager clusters.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, meets the requirements by allowing both workload domains to share the same NSX-T Manager cluster, thus reducing costs while still achieving low latency with the NSX-T Bare Metal Edge cluster. Options A and D involve creating separate NSX-T Manager clusters, which increases complexity and costs. Option B does not utilize a shared NSX-T Manager cluster and could lead to inefficiencies.
