01. In a VCF 9.0 fleet, VCF Operations shares the default management port group with every other management component. During busy periods, data collection from vCenter and NSX lags. The customer asks the architect to revise where VCF Operations connects.
Which two network placement decisions should the architect make?
(Choose two.)
a) Keep VCF Operations on the default management port group, which already isolates it from management traffic
b) Move VCF Operations to a remote site, apart from the platform it monitors
c) Place VCF Operations on a segment with low latency and high bandwidth to vCenter and NSX
d) Give VCF Operations a dedicated port group or NSX segment to isolate its traffic
e) Attach VCF Operations to a workload domain VLAN shared with tenant VMs to unload the management network
02. A customer runs two VCF Instances with five workload domains between them. It wants one VCF Operations deployment and one VCF Automation deployment to provide centralized governance and consistent lifecycle visibility across all of them.
Which VCF construct is defined by that single set of management components?
a) A VCF Instance
b) A VCF private cloud
c) The management domain
d) A VCF fleet
03. To keep the project budget down, the architect records this assumption in a VCF 9.0 design: “The existing operations team can run and troubleshoot VCF 9.0 without additional training.” No skills assessment has been carried out.
Which risk should the architect record against this assumption?
a) The approved budget may not cover the additional hosts needed for projected growth
b) The DNS records for the new hosts may not exist when the deployment starts
c) The operations team may lack the skills to operate and troubleshoot the platform after handover
d) The existing top-of-rack switches may not support the MTU that host TEP traffic needs
04. After VCF Operations is deployed in a VCF 9.0 fleet, the capacity team notices that capacity recommendations reflect only the observed usage of VMs, not the vCPU and memory allocated to them. The service owners charge tenants on allocation and want recommendations to account for allocated resources as well.
Which two statements should the architect include in the capacity design?
(Choose two.)
a) The allocation model is the default, and the demand model is turned on in the active policy
b) The demand model sizes VMs from their configured vCPU and memory rather than from their usage history
c) The allocation model is enabled per cluster in vCenter rather than in VCF Operations
d) By default only the demand model is used, projecting from historical usage, trends and seasonality
e) The allocation model is turned on in the active policy
05. Traffic-flow analysis of a customer's existing environment has produced application groups that show which VMs must move together. The customer will migrate with VCF Operations HCX and wants each migration wave to match one of these groups without rebuilding the groupings by hand.
Which design decision achieves this?
a) Tag the VMs in vCenter and filter the HCX migration wizard by those tags
b) Export the application groups to HCX as Mobility Groups
c) Load the groups into VCF Operations as custom object groups for HCX to use
d) Turn each application group into a DRS VM group that HCX reads as a wave
06. Before migrating a portfolio of 60 applications into VCF 9.0, the architect needs network visibility and analytics that show the traffic flows between the existing VMs, so that firewall rules and wave boundaries can be designed without breaking connectivity at cutover.
Which VCF component should the design include for this purpose?
a) VCF Operations HCX network extension
b) VCF Operations for logs
c) VCF Operations for networks
d) VCF Operations capacity dashboards
07. During discovery for a VCF 9.0 design, the business continuity manager of a logistics firm states: “Mission-critical workloads must be back in service within four hours of a site outage.”
Which AMPRS design quality does this requirement most directly drive?
a) Recoverability
b) High availability
c) Performance
d) Security
08. An architect is defining the baseline settings for every vSphere cluster in a VCF 9.0 instance. The customer requires VMs to restart automatically after a host failure. It also wants a VM whose guest operating system stops responding to be restarted without operator action.
Which two settings meet these requirements?
(Choose two.)
a) vSphere Fault Tolerance turned on for every VM in the cluster
b) Proactive HA with the server vendor's hardware health provider
c) vSphere HA enabled and protecting all VMs in the cluster
d) vSphere Replication configured for every VM
e) VM Monitoring enabled in the vSphere HA settings
09. One requirement in a customer's VCF 9.0 design states that, after a corruption of the management components, the customer must be able to return them to a known-good configuration within four hours. The architect is assigning test cases in the validation plan to each requirement.
Which test case validates this requirement?
a) Fail a management host and check that vSphere HA restarts it
b) Fail over the stretched management cluster to the second availability zone
c) Check the backup schedule settings against the documented backup policy
d) Restore the management components from backup and time the recovery
10. During a peer review of a VCF 9.0 design, the reviewer notes that every decision follows the VCF recommended option except one, where the architect selected an option that the design guidance lists as supported rather than recommended. The decision record currently names the option and nothing else.
What must the record add for this decision to stand?
a) The requirement or constraint that justifies it
b) A note that the option is supported and so needs no rationale
c) The engineering team's preference and its experience with the option
d) An agreement to switch to the recommended option at the next upgrade
