An architect has made the following assumptions:

An architect is documenting the design for a new multi-site vSphere solution. The customer has informed the architect that the workloads hosted on the solution are managed by application teams who must perform a number of steps to return the application to service following a failover of the workloads to the secondary site. These steps are defined as the Work Recovery Time (WRT). The customer has provided the architect with the following information about the workloads, including the recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO):
Critical workloads have a WRT of 12 hours
Production workloads have a WRT of 24 hours
Development workloads have a WRT of 24 hours
All workloads have an RPO of 4 hours
Critical workloads have an RTO of 1 hour
Production workloads have an RTO of 12 hours
Development workloads have an RTO of 24 hours
The customer has also confirmed that production and development workloads are managed by the same team and the disaster recovery solution will not begin the recovery of the development workloads until all critical and production workloads have been recovered at the secondary site.
Which three statements would the architect document as the maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) for workloads within the design? (Choose three.)
An architect is tasked with designing a solution to monitor the operational state of a VMware Cloud Foundation environment through ad-hoc reporting and custom dashboards, alerts, and notifications.
Using VMware Validated Solutions, which validated solution can the architect leverage to meet this requirement?
An architect is responsible for the design of a greenfield vSphere-based solution for hosting a new web-based application. The customer has provided the following high-level information:
The solution will host a highly transactional web application that is spread across multiple workloads within a vSphere cluster.
The workloads should be distributed evenly across the hosts to maximize the performance and availability of the web application.
The architect has made various design decisions, including:
The solution will deploy vSphere distributed switches for all virtual networking.
Which network load balancing method should the architect document in the physical design to meet the requirements?
An architect is updating an existing design to include a new vSphere cluster to meet the following customer requirements:
The solution must provide automatic load redistribution of workloads across all resources in the cluster
The solution must consider the usage patterns of workloads when performing load redistribution
The solution must provide capacity to reserve resources equal to two ESXi hosts for failover in the event of a host failure
The architect has also collected the following assumptions and constraints during the design workshops:
A001 - Budget is available for additional hardware and software if required to meet the solution requirements
A002 - Capacity is available to allow the deployment of additional tooling to manage the solution
C001 - All management workloads must be deployed to the existing vSphere management cluster
Which three design decisions should the architect include to meet the documented requirements? (Choose three.)
An architect is responsible for designing a vSphere-based solution for a customer. The customer has the following requirements:
The solution must provide redundancy and load balancing for storage traffic
The solution must tolerate at least one failure
There must be no single point of failure in the solution
Which three considerations regarding physical host design should the architect analyze when making storage related design decisions? (Choose three.)
An architect is responsible for the availability design of a solution.
