An architect is reviewing the security and compliance requirements for a new application that will be hosted on a vSphere 8 environment.
The following information has been noted about the new application:
The application stores and processes confidential data
The supporting virtual infrastructure is shared with other departments
No other application stores or processes confidential data
The application virtual machines must be able to run on any ESXi host in the cluster
The storage layer is a iSCSI attached SAN
Data at Rest Encryption is in place for each presented LUN validated to FIPS 140-2
No budget is available for additional infrastructure components or software
Application data must not be accessible outside of the application's virtual machines
The architect has been tasked with providing a secure virtual machine design to host the application.
Which three design elements must the architect include to meet the requirements? (Choose three.)
An architect is reviewing the information provided by a customer for a new vSphere solution design. The customer has stated that some of the virtual machines (VMs) that will be hosted on the new solution handle credit card information from their users as part of an online payment application, and that some of the information will need to be stored temporarily to allow transactions to be completed. Therefore, the solution must be designed to be able to mask or hash the stored information as they will need to show compliance against common industry standards that contain references to the requirements for handling sensitive information.
Which design quality is being requested by the customer?
An architect is discussing the design of a vSphere solution with a customer. The following requirements have been defined for the solution:
The solution must provide data encryption at rest
The solution must provide the ability to reduce the amount of storage consumed from duplicate data
The solution must minimize the amount of resources consumed by the encryption process.
The architect has made a design decision that VM Encryption will be used to meet these requirements.
Which two implications should the architect include in the design in relation to this design decision? (Choose two.)
An architect is creating the design for a vSphere platform that will be used as the target for a migration from multiple legacy vSphere platforms that are being decommissioned. The customer has provided the following information:
Each legacy platform has its own set of virtual machine templates stored in OVF format.
All of the templates need to be migrated to the new platform.
After migration, the templates should be centralized into a single location.
The templates must be accessible to all clusters in the new platform vCenter instance.
Any new templates added to the central location must be automatically available to all clusters.
Administrators must be able to deploy new virtual machines directly from the template instances.
The customer also confirmed that after the migrations are complete, the new platform will be the only vSphere solution available.
Which design choice should the architect evaluate in the logical design for the storage and management of virtual machine templates?
An architect is updating an existing design to include a new vSphere cluster to meet the following customer requirements:
The solution must provide automatic load redistribution of workloads across all resources in the cluster
The solution must consider the usage patterns of workloads when performing load redistribution
The solution must provide capacity to reserve resources equal to two ESXi hosts for failover in the event of a host failure
The architect has also collected the following assumptions and constraints during the design workshops:
A001 - Budget is available for additional hardware and software if required to meet the solution requirements
A002 - Capacity is available to allow the deployment of additional tooling to manage the solution
C001 - All management workloads must be deployed to the existing vSphere management cluster
Which three design decisions should the architect include to meet the documented requirements? (Choose three.)
An architect is working on the cluster layout design for a new vSphere solution. The resource requirements for the first cluster state that memory demand can experience spikes of up to 20% over the documented average demand during peak business hours and the cluster must be able to handle these spikes without contention.
Which design quality is being referenced?
An architect is tasked with designing the implementation of the VMware Validated Solutions in an existing VMware Cloud Foundation environment that includes:
Intelligent Operations Management
Intelligent Logging and Analytics
Which two design elements must the architect include in the design to be able to accomplish the deployment of these two solutions? (Choose two.)
An architect is designing a vSphere-based application hosting solution in a brownfield site.
The following information has been provided during the requirements gathering workshop:
The solution should support 5,000 compute workloads across two physical sites.
The CFO has approved budget for the purchase of new server and network hardware only.
The existing storage array is currently Fibre Channel connected with 2 x 8 Gbps interfaces to a dedicated Storage Area Network (SAN) fabric.
The existing storage array does not support integration with vSphere API for Storage Awareness.
The existing storage array can be configured to support NFS storage.
The existing vSphere administration team will responsible for operational management of the new solution.
Which storage technology should the architect recommend based on these requirements?
An architect is responsible for extending the hosting design for a customer. The customer has a mission-critical 3-node application which is load balanced in an active/active/passive configuration. The application administrator requests that the virtual infrastructure team be responsible for maintaining platform level availability. An organizational policy exists to mandate the highest possible availability for mission-critical applications.
Based on the resource requirements, the architect has made the following design decision:
The target vSphere cluster contains three VMware ESXi host servers
A combination of which additional four physical design decisions should the architect make to maximize availability of the application? (Choose four.)
An architect is tasked with helping a customer develop a design that meets the following requirements:
Must have no single point of failure
Must include thorough standard operating procedure documentation
Must use VMXNET3 virtual network interface card
Must have 99.9% uptime Service Level Agreement
Must use the latest version of VMware vSphere
Which two are considered constraints? (Choose two.)
