Master VMware 2V0-13.25 Exam with Reliable Practice Questions
Upgrade to PremiumDuring a requirements gathering workshop, the customer has provided a list of business and technical requirements.
Which requirement should be classified as a business requirement?
Correct : D
VMware Cloud Foundation architecture uses the RACR framework (Requirements, Assumptions, Constraints, Risks) to classify inputs:
Business requirements describe high-level outcomes the business wants to achieve, often focusing on cost, efficiency, or customer satisfaction.
Technical requirements define how infrastructure should behave to meet performance, resiliency, or security needs.
Among the given options:
A (growth by 30%) and C (no SPOF) are technical requirements.
B (security and resiliency) is also a technical requirement.
D (reduce operational costs) directly aligns with business goals, making it the correct business requirement.

An architect is documenting the design for a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution and makes the following design decision:
Two vSphere clusters will be deployed within the single VI workload domain.
What statement should the architect include as an implication of this design decision?
Correct : B
In VMware Cloud Foundation, each VI workload domain is backed by a single vCenter Server instance. By deploying multiple clusters within the same VI workload domain, the architect can support multiple use cases (e.g., separating prod/dev), without provisioning new vCenters. This design reduces management overhead and operational complexity.
However, if stricter separation is needed (e.g., multi-tenancy or lifecycle independence), separate workload domains may be more suitable. While vSAN is the default, it's not mandatory unless vSAN Ready Nodes are used for bring-up.

An architect has been tasked with designing a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution. The following design decisions were documented after requirements gathering workshops with the customer:
* Deploy a VCF Fleet into each of the DC1 and DC2 datacenters.
* Deploy two VCF instances (VCF1 and VCF2) into each VCF Fleet.
* Use the existing, supported third-party solution to provide Multifactor Authentication (MFA) for users accessing the VCF components.
The architect also documented the following information from the workshops:
* The customer wants to minimize the risk of a single operational task performed by an administrator impacting multiple components.
* The customer wants to avoid single points of failure by using high availability architectures.
Which two design decisions should the architect include for the authentication approach based on the information provided? (Choose two.)
Correct : A, C
To support MFA and integration with third-party authentication, the external VCF Identity Broker model (VIDB) is required. The external model is designed to interface with advanced identity providers supporting MFA, which the embedded model cannot accommodate.
Furthermore, to avoid shared components across multiple VCF instances and to reduce the impact of operational errors (e.g., configuration or certificate issues), a dedicated Identity Broker per VCF instance ensures complete separation and fault isolation.
This approach aligns with VMware's recommended high availability and security practices for VCF 9.0. It ensures the MFA requirement is met and operational risks are minimized.

Requirement: Ensure all management components are redundant at the component level.
Which design quality should classify this requirement?
Correct : C
Availability relates to ensuring services are continuously accessible, even in case of component failure.
Making management components (e.g., vCenter, NSX Manager, SDDC Manager) redundant guarantees higher availability.
Other qualities:
Performance = speed of execution.
Manageability = ease of administration.
Recoverability = ability to restore after failure (not redundancy itself).
Thus, the redundancy requirement directly maps to Availability.

An architect is responsible for designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based private cloud for a customer. The architect noted the following requirements during a design workshop:
Co-locate application workloads with VCF management component workloads within the same vSphere cluster.
Shared storage data is always available and 100% current in the event of a single site outage.
Have two sites available no more than 10 miles apart (10ms latency) connected with high-speed network technology to host their virtual infrastructure.
Protect against outages of a single site designated as an availability zone.
Which two storage technologies could meet the stated requirements? (Choose two.)
Correct : D, E
According to VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 documentation, when a stretched cluster is deployed across sites with sub-5ms latency and high-speed interconnects, vSAN can be configured for zero RPO (Recovery Point Objective), ensuring 100% data consistency and availability in the event of a site failure. vSAN supports co-locating management and application workloads and provides the shared storage functionality with automatic failover capabilities.
Additionally, vSphere Virtual Volumes (vVols) provide granular control of virtual machine storage, and when backed by a storage system that supports replication and failover across sites (with support for VASA 3.0 or later), vVols can meet the same requirements for data availability and disaster recovery.
