VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2022) — Question 96

VCF design workshops were conducted, and the architect collected the following customer requirements for the newly planned VCF infrastructure:
The new VCF infrastructure must target two zones: DEV/UAT and DMZ.
The security team would like to have full management and network isolation between these two zones.
12 hosts have been ordered for the solution.
DEV/UAT workloads must comply with an erasure coding vSAN storage policy with 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 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
• C. 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
• 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: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it provides an 8-host DEV/UAT cluster, which meets the erasure coding requirement by tolerating the failure of two hosts, along with a 4-host DMZ cluster. Option A fails to meet the workload requirements as it does not provide enough hosts for DEV/UAT, while option B divides the DEV and UAT into two separate clusters, which is not necessary and inefficient. Option D does not allocate sufficient resources to the DEV/UAT zone to satisfy the erasure coding policy.
