The website must be available 24 x 7 x 365.

Which three conceptual model items relate to these business objectives? (Choose three.)

A. A requirement to have 99.99% availability uptime measured at the front-end application layer

B. A risk that the external internet network provider does not meet the service level agreement (SLA) requirements

C. A requirement to have 99.99% availability uptime measured at the network infrastructure layer

D. An assumption that site performance is not a key performance indicator (KPI) for the customer

E. A constraint of any planned changes limited to outside of business hours only

F. An assumption that there is sufficient budget for the design to meet the performance requirements

An architect is designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution for a customer.

During the discovery phase, the customer outlined the following availability requirements:

Business-critical workloads: RPO = 2 hours
Infrastructure components: RTO = 8 hours

Based on this context, what does the RTO metric represent?

A. The maximum allowable time within which a system or service must be restored to a usable state

B. The maximum amount of data loss that is considered acceptable during a failure

C. The minimum volume of data loss tolerated in the event of a disruption

D. The minimum acceptable duration required to recover a service to an operational state

During an initial design workshop with stakeholders, the architect was provided with an overview of the current state and other information required to proceed to the design phase.

The architect has assumed that the solution will need to support high availability for workloads.

Given the assumption, which statement should the architect document as a risk?

A. The solution supports the separation of management components from production workloads.

B. BGP is the dynamic routing protocol on the physical fabric and cannot be changed.

C. The solution supports a recovery point objective (RPO) of 24 hours for infrastructure components.

D. The entire infrastructure is hosted on a single physical site.

Requirement: The solution must include high security hardening levels to meet military compliance standards.

Which two physical design decisions will meet this security requirement in the workload domain? (Choose two.)

A. The vSAN storage policy will be configured as Secondary Failures to Tolerate = 1.

B. VCF Operations will be configured to renew the SSL certificate for vCenter Server per security policies.

C. NTP will be configured to the internal NTP servers of 192.168.12.1 and 192.168.24.1.

D. The advanced setting UserVars.SuppressShellWarning will be configured to 0 across all ESXi hosts.

E. The certificate of the VI workload domain vCenter Server will be issued by RootCA.Military.Domain.Com.

As a part of designing the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Operations deployment, the architect must ensure that VCF Operations is capable of monitoring the customer's infrastructure made up of a central datacenter and multiple remote sites in different countries.

During a design workshop, the following requirements were identified:

REQ001: Corporate IT users must be able to review performance, alerts, and capacity details from a single management point.
REQ002: The monitoring solution must support local data collection at remote sites to prevent data loss from unstable WAN connections.
REQ003: The monitoring solution must comply with local data sovereignty regulations.

Which deployment model fulfills all design requirements?

A. Single VCF fleet with Cloud Proxies in each remote site

B. Each remote site will be its own VCF fleet.

C. All remote sites will be a single VCF fleet.

D. A single fleet with multiple VCF instances

An architect is responsible for designing a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based private cloud. During the discovery workshops, the following information was captured from key customer stakeholders:

The private cloud will operate with three different monitoring levels:

Approved infrastructure applications include: Microsoft IIS, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Tomcat Server, and Apache HTTPD
Each workload must subscribe to a monitoring level
Minimal management overhead is required for agent operations

Which two design decision should the architect make to meet the stated monitoring requirements? (Choose two.)

A. Configure the Service Discovery for all workloads that subscribe to the Self-Managed service

B. Deploy the Managed Telegraf Agent for all workloads that subscribe to the Fully Managed service

C. Deploy the Managed Telegraf Agent for all workloads that subscribe to the OS Managed service

D. Deploy the Managed Telegraf Agent for all workloads that subscribe Self-Managed service

E. Deploy the Open Source Telegraf Agent for all workloads that subscribe to the Fully Managed service

As part of a design for a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution, an architect has documented the following dependencies and constraints:

CONSOOl - Internet access will not be permitted from anywhere within the VCF solution.
CONS002 - The password must not be stored in plain text anywhere within the VCF solution.
DEP001 - The customer must make the required VCF binaries accessible to the VCF Installer appliance during the deployment phase.

Which design decision should the architect include in the design for the download of the VCF binaries?

A. The VCF Installer appliance will be configured to connect to an online depot.

B. The Bundle Transfer Utility will be used on the VCF Installer appliance.

C. The VCF Download Tool will be used on the VCF Installer appliance.

An architect has been tasked with designing a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution. The following design decisions were documented after requirements gathering workshops with the customer:

• Deploy a VCF Fleet into each of the DC1 and DC2 datacenters.
• Deploy two VCF instances (VCF1 and VCF2) into each VCF Fleet.
• Use the existing, supported third-party solution to provide Multifactor Authentication (MFA) for users accessing the VCF components.

The architect also documented the following information from the workshops:

• The customer wants to minimize the risk of a single operational task performed by an administrator impacting multiple components.
• The customer wants to avoid single points of failure by using high availability architectures.

Which two design decisions should the architect include for the authentication approach based on the information provided? (Choose two.)

A. Use the external VCF Identity Broker model.

B. Deploy a shared VCF Identity Broker for all VCF Instances across all VCF Fleets.

C. Deploy a dedicated VCF Identity Broker for each VCF instance within a VCF Fleet.

D. Deploy a shared VCF Identity Broker for all VCF instances within a VCF Fleet.

E. Use the embedded VCF Identity Broker model.

As part of the initial design workshop, one of the customer stakeholders has stated the following:

• All Virtual Machines must be encrypted.

How would the architect classify this statement?

A. A Risk

B. A Constraint

C. A Requirement

D. An Assumption

During a design workshop, the customer provided the following requirement:

• Business units should not be able to interfere with the operations of a different business unit.

As a result of this requirement, the architect makes the decision to enable multi-tenancy within VCF Automation.
A combination of which two design implications would also need to be documented? (Choose two.)

A. Each Tenant must use an embedded VCF Operations orchestrator instance.

B. Each Tenant must use an external VCF Operations orchestrator instance.

C. The Provider Tenant must use the embedded VCF Operations orchestrator instance.

D. All Tenants must use a single VCF Operations orchestrator instance.

E. The Provider Tenant must use an external VCF Operations orchestrator instance.
