QUESTION 69
VCF design workshops were conducted, and the architect collected the following customer requirements for the newly planned VCF infrastructure:
– The new VCF infrastructure must target two zones: DEV/UAT and DMZ.
– The security team would like to have full management and network isolation between these two zones.
– 12 hosts have been ordered for the solution.
– DEV/UAT workloads must comply with an erasure coding vSAN storage policy with the ability to tolerate the failure of two hosts.
Which workload domain sizing will be required to achieve these requirements?

QUESTION 72
Which two roles are provided by a local NSX Manager appliance? (Choose two.)
Explanation
The NSX Manager is a standalone appliance that hosts the API services, the management plane, control plane, and policy management. As a result of this combined format, you no longer need to install the manager and controllers as separate VMs. The NSX Manager has three built-in roles: policy, manager, and controller 1.
Policy: NSX Manager is responsible for the creation and management of NSX-T policies, which are used to define networking and security configurations and rules.
Controller: NSX Manager also serves as a central management point for NSX-T controllers, which are responsible for implementing and enforcing networking and security policies across the NSX-T environment.

QUESTION 83
A systems administrator is tasked to deploy VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and has already deployed the VMware Cloud Builder appliance.
What is the next step the systems administrator should take?
The next step the systems administrator should take is to prepare and configure the ESXi hosts to be used in the deployment. According to the VMware Cloud Foundation documentation1, before you can deploy the management domain using VMware Cloud Builder, you must prepare the ESXi hosts that will be part of the management domain and the VI workload domains. You need to install ESXi on the hosts, configure the network settings, claim disks for vSAN, and optionally configure certificates for the hosts. You can use different methods to prepare the ESXi hosts, such as using a custom ISO image, using the VMware Imaging Appliance, or installing ESXi interactively1 Uploading the Deployment Parameter Workbook is not the next step, because it is done after preparing the ESXi hosts. The Deployment Parameter Workbook is a spreadsheet that contains all the parameters required for deploying VMware Cloud Foundation, such as IP addresses, host names, passwords, and license keys. You need to download and complete the workbook before uploading it to VMware Cloud Builder1 Configuring the Management Domain using custom certificates is not the next step, because it is an optional step that can be done after deploying the management domain. Custom certificates are used to secure the communication between the components of VMware Cloud Foundation, such as SDDC Manager, vCenter Server, and NSX-T Manager. You can use either self-signed certificates or certificates signed by a certificate authority (CA)1 Deploying the Management Domain using VMware Cloud Builder is not the next step, because it is done after preparing the ESXi hosts and uploading the Deployment Parameter Workbook. The management domain is the first domain that is deployed in VMware Cloud Foundation, and it contains the components for managing and operating the SDDC platform, such as SDDC Manager, vCenter Server, NSX-T Manager, and NSX Edge nodes. You use VMware Cloud Builder to deploy the management domain by following a guided workflow on its UI1
