An administrator is looking to deploy a new VMware vCenter instance. The current environment consists of 75 hosts and is expected to grow up to 100 hosts over the next three years.
Which deployment size should the administrator select?

Which deployment size should the administrator select?
For an environment that starts with 75 hosts and is expected to grow up to 100 hosts, the appropriate deployment size for the VMware vCenter instance is Small. A Small vCenter Server deployment can manage up to 100 hosts or 1000 virtual machines. This size ensures the environment is adequately supported without over-allocation of resources.
D should be the answer for supporting up to 100 hosts. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vcenter.install.doc/GUID-88571D8A-46E1-464D-A349-4DC43DCAF320.html

Grow up to 100. Thats a maximum I would say. So D After 3 years make a new vcenter medium
Answer is "D" VMWare: Small environment (up to 100 hosts or 1,000 virtual machines) Medium environment (up to 400 hosts or 4,000 virtual machine)
A. Medium can support 400 hosts, 4,000 vm's https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vcenter.install.doc/GUID-FB268055-5D36-4624-A64C-9800D3FCB689.html
Why would you deploy a new VMware vCenter Instance that is already max'd out with 100 hosts.... Yes, small can support up to 100 hosts but you have to actually think and use your head. If you choose D you're going to have to upgrade again as soon as you add 1 more host... THINK. lol
This is how you get fired, your Boss would ask why we spent all this money to upgrade to Small and now we have to upgrade again to Medium if we grow anymore. Current growth is projected at 8 hosts per year.
true, but is that what the vmware is asking about in the question? To me the question looks like only trying to find out if you know which deployment is how large.
Agree. It isnt about what is right but what fits.
Why would you get fired? Its easier to add resource than remove it. Much more likely they fire you for making it too big and wasting resource.
Tiny environment (up to 10 hosts or 100 virtual machines) 2 vCPU 12 GB Memory
I don't think any administrator would go with a small deployment in this scenario, even though it theoretically fits the requirement. Medium is correct.
With the information we have it s "D - Small" since this will support the 100 hosts. To be able to provide a good answer we should also have an idea about the amount of VM's that will be running in the environment.
vCenter Server 8.0 would be sized SMALL for between 10 and 100 hosts (unless running 512 or more shared Storage LUNs / more than 2048 paths, in which case LARGE would be used) https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-vcenter-upgrade/GUID-752FCA83-1A9B-499E-9C65-D5625351C0B5.html
