VMware 2V0-13.24 Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 2

REQ001 specifies an RPO of 15 minutes or less, meaning the maximum data loss in a DR scenario is 15 minutes. REQ002 demands 99.999% availability, but test cases focus on DR validation, so RPO is primary here. Option C directly tests RPO: if VMs lose no more than 15 minutes of data, the requirement is met, aligning with vSphere Replication or vSAN stretched clusters in VCF 5.2, which can achieve such RPOs. Option A tests restoration within 15 minutes, which, while related to Recovery Time Objective (RTO), also implies minimal data loss if achieved, indirectly validating RPO in a failover context. Option B (1 hour of data loss) exceeds the 15-minute RPO, failing REQ001. Option D (1-hour restoration) tests RTO, not RPO, and isn't tied to data loss limits. VCF DR solutions emphasize these metrics, making A and C the precise validations.

The vSphere IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) control plane in VCF 5.2 enables self-service provisioning and automation of virtualized resources, integrating with vSphere's Supervisor Cluster for cloud-like functionality. Option A, 'Aria Automation' (formerly vRealize Automation), is the correct component, providing orchestration, cloud templates, and self-service portals to manage IaaS workloads in VCF. It integrates with vSphere and NSX to deliver this capability. Option B, 'NSX Edge networking,' focuses on networking, not IaaS control. Option C, 'Storage DRS,' optimizes storage but isn't a control plane. Option D, 'Aria Operations,' is for monitoring, not provisioning. VMware's documentation confirms Aria Automation's role in VCF IaaS.

NSX Manager in VCF 5.2 comes in form factors (Small, Medium, Large) with capacity limits based on managed objects (hosts, VMs, etc.). A VI Workload Domain with a dedicated NSX instance growing to 300 ESXi hosts requires a form factor supporting this scale. Per NSX-T 3.2 sizing guidelines (used in VCF 5.2), the Large form factor supports up to 1,024 hosts, 12,000 VMs, and extensive networking objects, making it suitable for 300 hosts and future growth. Medium supports up to 256 hosts, which is close but risks being exceeded with additional VMs or objects. Small (64 hosts) and Extra Small (lab use) are insufficient. The architect must recommend 'Large' (A) to ensure scalability and performance for this VI domain.

In VCF design, risks are potential issues that could jeopardize project success, documented to prompt mitigation planning. Option A, 'Six months may not be enough time to complete the migration,' is a valid risk because workload migration complexity (e.g., application dependencies, data volume, testing) could exceed the timeline, a common challenge in VCF deployments. Option B (connectivity) is a fact, not a risk, unless qualified as unreliable. Option C (sufficient bandwidth) is an assumption or requirement, not a risk unless proven inadequate. Option D (powering off workloads) is a design choice, not an inherent risk without evidence. VCF migration planning emphasizes timeline risks, making A the best choice.

The requirements demand per-component certificates with 6-month validity and minimal admin effort, while constraints limit skills and budget. Option D, 'Use and configure integration with Microsoft Certificate Authority (CA),' meets all criteria: Microsoft CA (integrated via SDDC Manager in VCF 5.2) supports individual certificates per component (e.g., vCenter, NSX), allows short validity periods, automates renewal (reducing effort), and leverages existing infrastructure (low cost, skill-friendly). Option A (wildcard certificates) violates per-component needs. Option B (DigiCert) incurs higher costs and requires more skill. Option C (disabling SSL) compromises security, failing compliance. Microsoft CA aligns with VCF's certificate management capabilities.

Lifecycle management of resources in VCF 5.2 involves automation tools like Aria Automation. Option C, 'Aria Automation Lease Policy,' allows setting expiration dates for resources (e.g., 2 weeks for dev, 1 year for prod), automatically reclaiming them unless extended during a review period, directly meeting all criteria. Option A (Aria Suite Lifecycle) manages software deployment, not resource lifecycles. Option B (Aria Operations Rightsizing) provides sizing insights, not reclamation automation. Option D (Project Membership) controls access, not lifecycles. Aria Automation's lease policies are designed for this exact purpose in VCF, integrating with cloud zones and projects.
