2V0-13.25 VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Architect

An architect has made an assumption that existing support staff are adequately skilled to operate the proposed infrastructure design.

The risk associated with this assumption would be that existing support staff are inadequately skilled to operate the proposed infrastructure design.

How would the architect mitigate the risk?

• A. Complete a skills assessment of the existing support staff to identify the skill gap.
• B. Allocate the necessary time and budget to train existing support staff on the necessary skills required to operate.
• C. Engage a third-party company to deploy and configure the proposed solution.
• D. Hire additional support staff with the same skillsets to add more support capacity.

An architect is designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based solution. Company policy mandates that all VCF patches and upgrades must be tested in a development environment before applying to production.

Which VCF construct design decision would comply with this mandate?

• A. Deploy two VCF vSphere Clusters within a VCF Domain.
• B. Deploy two VCF Domains within a VCF Instance.
• C. Deploy two VCF Instances within a VCF Fleet.
• D. Deploy two VCF Fleets within a VCF Private Cloud.

An architect is designing a VCF-based solution where there should be no single points of failure. The design includes physical NIC teaming for all ESX servers.

When documenting this design decision, which consideration should the architect make?

• A. Only 10GbE NICs should be used for NIC teaming.
• B. Embedded NICs should not be used for NIC teaming.
• C. Each NIC team must include NICs from the same physical NIC Card.
• D. Each NIC team must include NICs from different physical NIC Cards.

An architect is designing a Business Continuity Disaster Recovery strategy for a VCF environment in two datacenters in the same city. Workload RTO is 24 hours; the management domain requires continuous availability with RPO 0; standby resources should support test workloads; and latency is 2 ms.

Which design decision satisfies these requirements?

• A. Use VCF Automation to redeploy the entire environment after a failure.
• B. Use asynchronous replication for both management and workload domains.
• C. Back up all workloads daily to a central repository.
• D. Implement a vSAN stretched cluster for the management domain and Live Recovery for workload domains.

RISK001: Frequent infrastructure design changes may break Disaster Recovery plans and Service Level Objectives.

What should the architect suggest to mitigate this risk?

• A. Configure VM replication with a recovery point objective of five minutes or less.
• B. Set up monitoring and alerting against defined service level objectives.
• C. Develop a process to review and update DR plans between changes and schedule monthly end-to-end DR tests.
• D. Limit infrastructure design changes to once a month.
