An administrator is tasked to monitor configuration drifts of vSphere clusters in a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) deployment. What three steps need to be completed to achieve this goal? (Choose three.)
A.
vCenter version must be 9.0 or later.
B.
vCenter must be configured with a VCF Operations collector.
C.
Create a Schedule Drift Detection in VCF Operations.
D.
vCenter version must be 8.0 U3 or later.
E.
Create a config template in VCF Operations.
F.
Assign the config template to a Policy.
G.
Configure vSphere Configuration Profiles for every cluster.
In VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0, configuration drift detection is handled through VCF Operations Configuration Management integrated with vSphere Configuration Profiles .
According to the VCF 9.0 documentation:
vCenter Version Requirement (D): Configuration drift monitoring requires vCenter 8.0 Update 3 or later , as this introduces the enhanced configuration profile capabilities necessary for drift comparison.
Create a Configuration Template (E): VCF Operations requires a defined baseline configuration template to compare cluster states against.
Assign the Template to a Policy (F): Policies enforce and monitor configuration compliance. Assigning the template to a policy allows drift detection against the desired state.
Incorrect options:
vCenter 9.0 (A) is not required; 8.0 U3 is sufficient.
A collector (B) is not specifically required for drift detection.
Scheduling drift detection (C) is part of policy evaluation, not a standalone mandatory step.
Configuring vSphere Configuration Profiles (G) is beneficial but not mandatory for drift monitoring via VCF Operations.
Thus, the three required steps are: vCenter 8.0 U3 or later, create a configuration template, and assign it to a policy.
