An architect is working on higher-scale NSX Grouping and security design requirements for Management and VI Workload Domains in VMware Cloud Foundation. Which NSX Manager appliance size will be considered for use?
A customer has a requirement to improve bandwidth and reliability for traffic that is routed through the NSX Edges in VMware Cloud Foundation. What should the architect recommend satisfying this requirement?
A VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) platform has been commissioned, and lines of business are requesting approved virtual machine applications via the platform’s integrated automation portal. The platform was built following all provided company security guidelines and has been assessed against Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) regulations. The platform has the following characteristics:
One Management Domain with a single cluster, supporting all management services with all network traffic handled by a single Distributed Virtual Switch (DVS).
A dedicated VI Workload Domain with a single cluster for all line of business applications.
A dedicated VI Workload Domain with a single cluster for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).
Aria Operations is being used to monitor all clusters.
VI Workload Domains are using a shared NSX instance.
An application owner has asked for approval to install a new service that must be protected as per the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, which is going to be verified by a third-party organization. To support the new service, which additional non-functional requirement should be added to the design?
During a requirements gathering workshop, several Business and Technical requirements were captured from the customer. Which requirement will be classified as a Business Requirement?
During a security-focused design workshop for a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution, a key stakeholder described the current and potential future approach to user authentication within their organization. The following information was captured by an architect:
All users within the organization currently have Active Directory-backed user accounts.
A separate project is planned to evaluate the use of different 3rd-party identity solutions to enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on all user accounts.
The MFA project will only provide a recommendation on which identity solution the organization should implement.
The MFA project will need to request budget for any licenses that need to be procured for the recommended identity solution.
The new VCF environment may be deployed before the MFA project has completed and therefore must be able to integrate with both the current and any proposed future identity solutions.
Which TWO items should the architect include in their design documentation? (Choose TWO.)
An architect has been asked to recommend a solution for a mission-critical application running on a single virtual machine to ensure consistent performance. The virtual machine operates within a vSphere cluster of four ESXi hosts, sharing resources with other production virtual machines. There is no additional capacity available. What should the architect recommend?
During a transformation project kick-off meeting, an architect highlights specific areas on which to focuswhile developing the new conceptual design. Which statement is the business requirement?

Configure Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) - Listen mode on all Distributed Virtual Switches (DVS).
Use of 2x 64-port Cisco Nexus 9300 for top-of-rack ESXi host switches.
Which design decision would an architect document within the logical design?
An architect is designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based private cloud solution for a customer. The customer has stated the following requirement:
All components within the solution must be resilient to N+1.
During discovery, the following information has also been provided:
Over the next 3 years, due to various applications being retired, no overall growth in resource consumption is expected.
Following a review of a demand-based capacity report from Aria Operations, the architect has calculated that all of the existing workloads should fit into a 4-node cluster. Once all workloads are migrated, the resources of the cluster will be 90% utilized.
Given the information provided, a combination of which three design decisions satisfy the requirement? (Choose three.)
