During a requirements gathering workshop to design a physical to virtual migration, the customer provides the following information:
There is no physical firewall in the data center with no anticipated plans for a future network refresh.
Leveraging the virtual infrastructure to mitigate the lack of network security must be addressed in the design. All physical servers to be migrated exist on the same VLAN.
Which recommendation should the architect make to address the customer requirement with regard to virtual networking?
Correct Answer:
A
An architect is designing a new greenfield environment that will install ESXi on local disks. There is a requirement to streamline initial and future installations of ESXi hosts.
Which configuration option should the architect recommend for installing ESXi hosts to meet these requirements?
Correct Answer:
D
Following a recent acquisition, an architect needs to merge IT assets into its current data center. The combined vSphere environment will need to run the newly acquired company’s virtual machines.
Network integration work has already been completed and the current environment has capacity to host all virtual machines. The Operations team needs to identify which virtual machines belong to the acquired company and report on their usage.
How should the architect merge the company’s assets and virtual machines?
Correct Answer:
D
An architect is designing a new greenfield environment with 600 ESXi hosts in an automated fashion. The engineering department already has a PXE Boot server, TFTP server, and DHCP server set up with an NFS mount for their current Linux servers.
The architect must be able to demonstrate and meet a security requirement to have all infrastructure processes separated.
Which recommendation should the architect make for the ESXi host deployment?
Correct Answer:
A

An architect is tasked with reviewing the design of a VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) for a software development company. The platform is used to developing applications and services. It is important that the customer be able to accurately benchmark performance of developed applications.
The platform has recently commissioned new hosts to update the development cluster. The development cluster host configuration is: 4 ESXi hosts with 2 sockets × 16 cores 512 GB RAM divided evenly between sockets There is no resource contention
The benchmarking cluster host configuration is: 8 ESXi hosts with 2 sockets × 8 cores 256 GB RAM divided evenly between sockets There is no resource contention
The customer is developing an application that includes a database virtual machine. The application developer states that the database virtual machine performs as required only when allocated 8 vCPUs 256 GB RAM. The database virtual machine performance meets the required levels when run from the development cluster. Performance benchmarking for the database virtual machine yields highly variable results when run from the benchmarking cluster. The application cannot be released without reliable performance benchmarking data.
What is a possible reason for the difference in performance test results between the development and benchmarking clusters?
Correct Answer:
C
