VMware 3V0-12.26 Exam : Advanced VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Architect

An Architect was provided with a list of findings and statements collected during a presales meeting with the customer.
Which two statements should be classified as requirements in the conceptual model? (Choose two.)

• A. The architecture must provide a resilient multi-site topology.
• B. Enough unused capacity is available on the storage array for the new workloads.
• C. A single point of failure exists in the networking infrastructure.
• D. The design must use the existing shared storage array.
• E. The solution must scale by 20 percent over the next three years.

As part of a design for a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution, an architect has documented the following dependencies and constraints:
* CON001 - Internet access will not be permitted from anywhere within the VCF solution.
* CON002 - 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 for initial installation?

• A. The VCF Installer appliance will be configured to connect to an online depot.
• B. The VCF Installer appliance will be configured to connect to an offline depot.
• C. The Offline Bundle Transfer Utility will be used on the VCF Installer appliance.
• D. The VCF Download Tool will be used on the VCF Installer appliance.

A regulated enterprise must ensure complete recoverability of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) management components based on the following scenarios:
* Post Upgrade Failures.
* VCF instance total loss.
* Workload Domain components loss.
The following conditions must be met:
* Snapshots are restricted.
* Backups must survive regional failures.
Which three design decisions directly address the design trait of recoverability? (Choose three.)

• A. Store the SDDC Manager, vCenter, NSX Manager and VCF Automation backups in an external replicated object store accessible from multiple failure domains.
• B. Replicate VCF Operations and VCF Operations for Networks image-based backups offsite.
• C. Maintain cold-standby clones of NSX Manager appliances for rapid redeployment.
• D. Use VCF-native prechecks and postchecks to validate rollback-supporting upgrade paths.
• E. Depend on vSphere HA for management Virtual Machine (VM) recovery across clusters.
• F. Use isolated backup repositories for each management component to guarantee version pinning.

An architect is designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution for a customer who needs to provide a standardized architecture across multiple geographically dispersed locations.
During workshops with the customer, the architect gathered the following information:
* There are ten locations in scope for the initial design, with plans for an additional five to be added within the next two years.
* One location is a dedicated datacenter (DC1) owned by the customer.
* The network links between the datacenter and all branch locations have a maximum latency of 100ms and a minimum bandwidth of 10 Mbps.
* Each of the remaining locations for the design are customer branch locations.
* Each branch location operates independently, and all compute resources should be dedicated to the branch.
* There is existing NFS storage available at each of the locations.
Based on this information, the architect decides that VCF Edge design patterns would be the best approach for meeting the customer ' s requirements.
Which two design decisions should the architect include? (Choose two.)

• A. Deploy a single workload domain that spans all branch locations regardless of geographical proximity.
• B. Deploy a VCF fleet with a single VCF instance at each datacenter and branch location.
• C. Deploy a single workload domain for each branch location.
• D. Deploy a VCF fleet with a single VCF instance at DC1.
• E. Deploy multiple workload domains that span branch locations grouped based on geographical proximity.

A customer is deploying VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) in an enterprise environment. During a series of workshops with stakeholders, the following requirements were identified:
* The network solution must be capable of complete logical isolation.
* The network solution must be capable of supporting independent upgrade cycles for network stacks.
* The network solution must be capable of tenant-specific customization of NSX configurations.
The architect has made the following design decisions:
* The solution will consist of a single VCF instance.
* The solution will include a management domain and two workload domains.
Based on the scenario, which additional design decision meets all of the stated requirements?

• A. Use a shared NSX instance across both workload domains.
• B. Deploy NSX only in the management domain and use VLAN-backed segments in the workload domains.
• C. Use a global NSX Federation configuration across workload domains.
• D. Deploy a dedicated NSX instance per workload domain.
