This certification validates practical ability to design, deploy, and operate scalable cloud services, with emphasis on cloud architecture and operations. It is intended for professionals who manage reliable, secure, and cost-aware environments.
An architect has made an assumption that existing support staff are adequately skilled to operate the proposed infrastructure design.
The risk associated with this assumption would be that existing support staff are inadequately skilled to operate the proposed infrastructure design.
How would the architect mitigate the risk?
An architect is designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based solution. The company policy mandates that all VCF patches and upgrades must be tested in a development environment before applying to production.
Which VCF construct design decision would comply with this mandate?
An architect is responsible for designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based solution for a customer. The customer has the following requirement:
There should be no single points of failure within the solution.
To comply with the customer requirement, the architect has decided to include physical NIC teaming for all ESX servers in the design.
When documenting this design decision, which consideration should the architect make?
An architect is designing a Business Continuity Disaster Recovery (BCDR) strategy for a Virtual Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment with a management domain and multiple workload domains deployed in two datacenters located in the same city.
During one of the initial workshops with stakeholders, the following information was identified:
The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for workloads is 24 hours.
The management domain must remain continuously available with Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of 0.
Hardware overhead should be minimized by utilizing standby resources that hosts test workloads during normal operation.
Operational overhead should be minimized.
Latency between both datacenters is 2 ms.
Which design decision should the architect document to satisfy provided requirements?
An architect is responsible for the design of a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Fleet and the following risk has been identified:
RISK001: There is a risk that frequent infrastructure design changes may break Disaster Recovery (DR) plans and Service Level Objectives.
What should the architect suggest to mitigate this risk?
