Which two roles are played by a Spherelet in a Tanzu-enabled VCF workload domain? (Choose two.)
Which two roles are played by a Spherelet in a Tanzu-enabled VCF workload domain? (Choose two.)
A Spherelet starts and monitors vSphere pods running on the workload domain cluster. It also enables an ESXi hypervisor to act as a Kubernetes worker node. These roles support the integration of Kubernetes functionality into the vSphere environment, enabling pod lifecycle management and the operation of ESXi as part of a Kubernetes cluster.
Spherelet - Acts as a worker node, it also starts and monitors vSphere pods.
any reference?

Answer C is not correct. A Supervisor Cluster that is configured with the vSphere networking stack does not support vSphere Pods. Therefore, the Spherelet component is not available in such Supervisor Cluster and Kubernetes pods run inside Tanzu Kubernetes clusters only. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/vmware-vsphere-with-tanzu/GUID-3E4E6039-BD24-4C40-8575-5AA0EECBBBEC.html
correct answer AE. You can deploy vSphere Pods only on Supervisors that are configured with the NSX networking stack. You cannot deploy vSphere Pods on Supervisors configured with the VDS stack. (https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-with-tanzu-concepts-planning/GUID-70CAF0BB-1722-4526-9CE7-D5C92C15D7D0.html)
AE are correct A Spherelet is a kubelet that enables ESXi hosts to form a Kubernetes cluster. The Spherelet performs the following functions: • Communicates with the control plane VMs • Manages node configuration • Starts vSphere pods • Monitors vSphere pods Taken from VMware Cloud Foundation: Deploy, Configure, Manage [V5.0] Lesson Book Additionally, the documentation says: Spherelet is an additional process that is created on each host. It is a kubelet that is ported natively to ESXi and allows the ESXi host to become part of the Kubernetes cluster https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-with-tanzu-concepts-planning/GUID-70CAF0BB-1722-4526-9CE7-D5C92C15D7D0.html
