Advanced Design VMware vSphere 7.x

During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer's Chief Information Security Office (CISO) provides the following requirements that are pertinent to the design of a new vSphere environment: All operating system critical patches must be installed within 24 hours of release.
All virtual machine templates must be updated every three months in line with company policy.

Which requirement classification is being gathered for the design documentation?

An architect is designing a new VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) that will consist of 100 branch sites connected to a single VMware vCenter Server within the primary data center. To allow for the use of existing automation scripts, there is a requirement to replicate the names of the virtual distributed port groups across all sites. The procurement team purchases licensing and there is no further budget allocated.

Which design decision should the architect make to meet this requirement?

An architect is designing a VMware solution for a customer based on the following information: The solution must use investments in existing storage array that supports both block and file storage.
The solution must support the ability to migrate workloads between hosts within a cluster.
The solution must support resource management priorities.
The solution must support the ability to connect virtual machines directly to LUNs.
The solution should use existing IPv4 based network infrastructure.
There is no budget for additional physical hardware.

Which two design decisions could the architect make to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

A customer provides the following list of requirements for their vSphere platform: REQ01 The solution should utilize dual network connections to eliminate single points of failure.
REQ02 The solution should allow logs to be retained for a period of 30 days.
REQ03 All user access to the platform should be recorded for audit purposes.
REQ04 The solution should allow the management of multiple ESXi hosts.
REQ05 The solution should allow users to view the remote console of virtual machines.

Which two of the listed requirements would be classified as non-functional requirements? (Choose two.)

An organization's data scientists are executing a plan to use machine learning (ML). They must have access to graphical processing unit (GPU) capabilities to execute their computational models when needed. The solutions architect needs to design a solution to ensure that GPUs can be shared by multiple virtual machines.

Which two solutions should the architect recommend to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

An architect is tasked with expanding an existing VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) solution so that it can be used to deliver a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) service off-shore development activities.

The production environment is currently delivered across two geographically dispersed data centers. The two data centers are currently connected to each other through multiple diversely routed, high bandwidth and low latency links. The current operations management components are deployed to a dedicated management cluster that is configured with N+1 redundancy. The current VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) has a monthly availability target of 99.5%, which includes all management components.

The customer requires that the new solution scale to support the concurrent running of 500 persistent virtual desktops. The virtual desktops must not share the same virtual infrastructure as existing virtual machines, but can be managed using the same VMware operations management components. Any new VDI service management components must be installed into the management cluster. There is no requirement to back up the virtual desktops because all relevant user data is stored centrally. The VDI service is providing business critical services and must have an availability target of 99.9%.

Given the information from the customer, which two assumptions would the architect include in the design? (Choose two.)

During a transformation project kick-off meeting, an architect highlights specific areas on which to focus while developing the new conceptual design.

Which two of the listed statements are business requirements? (Choose two.)

An architect is designing a new vSphere cluster. The requirement is to provide a total of 96 CPU cores and 1.5 TB RAM across all hosts.

The following information has been provided:

Two different physical hardware profiles are available for the ESXi hosts in the cluster.
- Profile 1: 16 CPU cores and 256 GB RAM
- Profile 2: 32 CPU cores and 512 GB RAM
Profile 2 is twice as expensive to purchase as Profile 1.

Which two aspects should the architect consider when selecting the hardware profile? (Choose two.)

An architect is finalizing the design for a new vCenter Server High Availability deployment.

What is one thing the architect must document in the design?

An architect is designing a solution for an environment with two types of resource profiles that must be virtualized. The first type consists of Tier 1 virtual machines that are disk I/O intensive, but do NOT require high CPU or memory. The second type consists of Tier 2 virtual machines that require a lower CPU and memory allocation and have minimal disk I/O.

Which design recommendation should the architect make for distributing the resource profiles?
