An architect is designing a new greenfield environment with 600 ESXi hosts in an automated fashion. The engineering department already has a PXE Boot server,
TFTP server, and DHCP server set up with an NFS mount for their current Linux servers.
The architect must be able to demonstrate and meet a security requirement to have all infrastructure processes separated.
Which recommendation should the architect make for the ESXi host deployment?

An architect is designing a new vSphere environment with the following resources:
✑ 600 vCPU
✑ 5,760 GB RAM
Average resource usage is:
✑ 60 vCPU
✑ 1,152 GB RAM
The design must meet the following requirements:
✑ The environment has the ability to burst by 25%.
✑ Each host can schedule 36 vCPUs and has 512 GB RAM.
✑ Management overhead is 20%.
What is the minimum number of hosts required to meet the design requirements?

An architect is designing a new vSphere platform to meet a list of requirements from the security team.
Which two requirements would be classified as non-functional requirements? (Choose two.)

An architect is finalizing the design for a new vSphere platform based on the following information:
✑ All Windows virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster for licensing purposes.
✑ All Linux virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster for licensing purposes.
✑ All management virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster.
✑ A total of ten physical sites will be used to host virtual machines.
✑ In the event of one physical datacenter becoming unavailable, the manageability of the virtual infrastructure in the remaining data centers should not be impacted.
✑ Access to configure the management virtual machines via vCenter Server must be controlled through the management Active Directory domain.
✑ Access to configure the Windows and Linux virtual machines must be controlled through the resource Active Directory domain.
✑ The management and resource Active Directory domains are part of separate Active Directory forests and do not have any trusts between them.
The design will use Active Directory with Integrated Windows Authentication.

How should the architect document the vCenter Server configuration for this design?

An architect is reviewing a physical storage design. The customer has specified that storage DRS will be used for ease of operational management for capacity and performance.
Which recommendation should the architect include in the design?

The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for an organization is concerned about the security posture of the operating system images that are used for the provisioning of their Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. The organization is in a growth period. The organization is opening a new data center to launch its next phase of new SaaS-based solutions.
The DevOps team currently creates encrypted virtual machine (VM) templates that are used for various operating systems and adds these to the vSphere inventory. The DevOps team already uses a published content library and has been granted a role with the ability to add and delete library items.
The following requirements have been noted:
✑ Impacts to the DevOps team's operational processes must be kept to a minimum.
✑ The DevOps team must be able to regularly check out a copy of the image for updates and check in a new version of the image.
✑ Images must be synchronized from the primary data center to the new data center.
Which three recommendations should the architect make to design a content library solution that will meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

An architect is tasked with planning the design of a new vSphere environment. When commissioned, this environment will be used to migrate an existing set of virtual machines.
An inventory of the existing infrastructure, including configured vCPU, RAM and storage sizes has been provided.
In order for each virtual machine to be migrated, which two data sources with peak and average utilization data are required for sizing? (Choose two.)

Which design decision must be included in a design to allow for the deployment of a minimum supported configuration of vCenter High Availability (HA)?

Refer to the exhibit.
During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer shares the following about their existing ESXi host virtual networking infrastructure:

An architect will be taking over control of a former Linux server fleet and repurposing the hardware into a new vSphere cluster. The current environment is already connected to the network but the hosts do not have any local disks. Since the fleet hardware is uniform, the architect can use a single ESXi image. All hosts within the cluster have the same CPU and memory capacity.
Which ESXi deployment method should the architect use?

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 Cloud Service Provider wants to introduce backup as a service for a customer's vSphere-based virtual machines.
The following information is noted:
✑ They have a single four-port (2 ֳ— 10 GbE and 2 ֳ— 1 GbE) NIC per ESXi host
✑ All top-of-rack (ToR) switches are 10 GbE and fully populated
✑ The backup traffic must not impact existing services
Which two recommendations should the architect make to help the customer incorporate the service? (Choose two.)

A customer has six hosts available in a cluster. When running at full capacity, all virtual machines can be run on two hosts.
How many hosts can the customer place into maintenance mode at the same time while still providing N+2 resiliency to the cluster?

An architect is designing a series of new vSphere environments for an organization. The environments will be deployed in their US-East and US-West region data centers. Each data center may have one or more dedicated vSphere environments. Only the vSphere environments within a data center will be configured with
Enhanced Linked Mode. The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) has authorized the use of VMware vRealize Automation Cloud for automation. The build team creates standardized virtual machine images for various operating systems in Open Virtualization Format (OVF) and publishes the latest version on an as-needed basis to an internal HTTPS-accessible repository.
The architect must design a content library topology that meets the following requirements:
✑ A localized content library must be available in each data center.
Each content library must be updated when an image is updated and released by the build team.

✑ The cloud automation platform must be able to consume the latest approved content library images.
✑ It must leverage the existing build team processes.
What should the architect recommend to meet the requirements?

An architect is designing storage for a new vSphere environment to meet the following requirements:
✑ Asynchronous replication is required between two sites.
✑ The impact on the storage layer should not impact the performance of the compute layer.
✑ Each application tier will require different replication attributes.
✑ Virtual machine live migration across compute and storage must be supported.
✑ Virtual machine aware back up will be leveraged.
✑ Operational management overhead should be minimized.
✑ Operational automation should be supported.
Which storage design recommendations would meet the requirements?

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.)
