Designing HPE Software-Defined Infrastructure Solutions

Is this how the Composable Fabric handles traffic at Layer 2?

If the traffic does not match an affinity, forward the traffic on a path calculated for such traffic.

Is this a reason that HPE Synergy is an ideal platform for containers?

Synergy provides a container runtime embedded in the Synergy compute module firmware.

Is this a correct use case for HPE OneView for VMware vRealize Operations?

checking for alerts about infrastructure health and decreasing the time that it takes to troubleshoot

Is this a benefit of the HPE Nimble plug-in for vCenter?

simplified management for restoring VM clones from vCenter

A customer wants to start using containers. They have decided on Docker containers and Kubernetes for managing the containers, but their IT department not have a great deal of expertise in Kubernetes.

The customer requires a packaged solution that supports a private registry and role-based access control.
It should also be able to integrate with middleware tools for messaging and CI/CD pipeline management.

The customer needs help sorting through orchestration platform options. Is this correct advice that you can provide?

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) and Docker Enterprise Engine (EE) both meet the
customer's security needs.

Is this a correct statement about how containers fit within a DevOps model?

Containers help to provide simple deployment and scaling for applications in production, but only if the customer deploys them within an orchestration solution.

You are deploying HPE FlexFabric switches in a data center in which a customer uses VMware NSX.

Is this something that you should check on the FlexFabric switches?

ToR switch ports that connect to ESXi hosts permit the NSX transport VLAN ID.

A customer has an HPE SimpliVity Federation based on VMware. The customer wants to add self-service catalogs that users can use to establish services built on the SimpliVity cluster. Provisioning services will require workflows that include tasks, including cloning VMs and creating datastores.

Is this a way to achieve this goal?

Deploy vRealize Automation, vRealize Orchestrator, and the HPE plug-in for vRA.

A customer has a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) solution. You suggest deploying HPE Nimble and the HPE CSI Driver.

With this proposal, can HPE Nimble fulfill this role for the solution?

Host images for the private registry.

The architect must design Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct on HPE infrastructure, in order to meet customer requirements.

Is this a correct principle that the architect must consider?

Use the same RAID level on storage pool drives and the drives with OS volumes.
