A cloud administrator is responsible for managing a VMware Cloud solution and would like to ensure that I/O-intensive workloads run in the most optimum way possible.
Which two steps should the administrator complete on I/O-intensive workloads to meet this requirement? (Choose two.)
Ensuring that the VMware hardware version is 7 or later is crucial for compatibility with advanced features and better performance optimization. Configuring the VMware Paravirtual SCSI (PVSCSI) adapter is essential for optimizing I/O-intensive workloads because it offers lower CPU utilization and increased throughput for such operations, making it a more efficient choice compared to other SCSI controllers.
VMware Cloud on AWS also includes a paravirtualized SCSI storage adapter, PVSCSI (also called VMware Paravirtual). The PVSCSI adapter offers a significant reduction in CPU utilization as well as potentially increased throughput compared to the default virtual storage adapters, and is thus the best choice for environments with very I/O-intensive guest applications. In order to use PVSCSI, virtual machine must be using virtual hardware version 7 .or later https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-on-AWS/services/vmc-aws-performance.pdf
