Question 6 of 90

An architect is preparing a design for a company planning digital transformation. During the requirements gathering workshop, the following requirements (REQ) and constraints (CON) are identified:

✑ REQ01 The platform must host different types of workloads including applications that must be compliant with internal security standard.

✑ REQ02 The infrastructure must initially run 100 virtual machines.

REQ03 Ten of the virtual machines must be compliant with internal security standard.

✑ REQ04 The internal security standard specifies logical network separation for in-scope applications.

✑ CON01 The customer has already purchased the licenses as part of another project.

✑ CON02 The customer has five physical servers that must be reused.

Additionally, based on resource requirements, four physical servers will be enough to run all workloads.

Which recommendation should the architect make to meet requirements while minimizing project costs?

    Correct Answer: C

    The architect should use a single cluster and ensure that different security zones are separated at least with dedicated VLANs and firewalls. This approach addresses REQ04, which specifies logical network separation for in-scope applications, while minimizing project costs by utilizing the existing servers (CON02). Additionally, REQ03, which requires ten virtual machines to be compliant with the internal security standard, can be met through proper network isolation without the need for additional physical servers (CON01).

Question 7 of 90

An architect is designing the expansion of an existing vSphere 7 environment. The customer is requesting a design for a new cluster to support the anticipated future business growth. The requirements specified for the existing environment design must be considered when designing the new cluster.

The existing design has the following requirements:

✑ REQ01 The environment has an availability target of 99.5% for all infrastructure.

✑ REQ02 The recovery time objective (RTO) for Tier 1 virtual machines is one hour.

✑ REQ03 Windows and Linux virtual machines must reside on separate clusters.

✑ REQ04 Access to the management cluster within the environment must be controlled.

Which of the listed requirements would be classified as a functional requirement?

    Correct Answer: C

    A functional requirement describes a specific behavior or function of a system. In this context, 'Access to the management cluster within the environment must be controlled' specifies a function related to security and access control. It dictates how the system should behave in terms of user access, which is a behavior of the system. In contrast, other requirements such as availability, recovery time objectives, and separation of Windows and Linux virtual machines are non-functional requirements as they pertain to the quality and constraints of the system rather than its specific behaviors.

Question 8 of 90

Which two of the listed requirements would be classified as manageability non-functional requirements? (Choose two.)

    Correct Answer: A, C

    Manageability non-functional requirements pertain to the ease of managing the infrastructure, including aspects like scalability, lifecycle management, and capacity planning. The requirement that 'ESXi clusters must scale when compute resources are sustained above 70% for five business days' relates to scalability under manageability. Similarly, 'ESXi host updates must be installed within one week of release' involves maintaining and managing the infrastructure effectively, making it a manageability requirement as well.

Question 9 of 90

An architect makes the design decision to install ESXi on embedded and resilient 8 GB SD cards.

What is the impact of this design decision?

    Correct Answer: B

    A

Question 10 of 90

An architect is designing a new vSphere environment to meet the following requirements:

✑ The environment must support 800 virtual machines.

✑ The environment will be built initially using 200 hosts.

Which vCenter Server appliance deployment size should the architect specify for the design?

    Correct Answer: D

    The best fit for the described environment, which must support 800 virtual machines and will initially use 200 hosts, is a Medium vCenter Server appliance deployment. A Medium environment can support up to 400 hosts or 4,000 virtual machines, which comfortably encompasses the needs specified.
