VMware Certified Professional - VMware Cloud Foundation Administrator Practice Exam 2025: Latest Questions

An administrator is reviewing the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) SDDC Manager inventory and needs to explain its primary role in the platform. Which statement best describes SDDC Manager in VCF?

During initial VCF planning, an architect is asked which workload domain is created first and is required to deploy and manage other workload domains. Which workload domain is this?

An administrator must add additional ESXi hosts to an existing VCF workload domain cluster. Which approach aligns with VCF best practices for host expansion?

A VCF administrator needs to perform routine operations and wants to ensure changes do not conflict with VCF lifecycle management. Where should the administrator initiate upgrades for VCF-managed components?

A company wants to deploy a new application with strict network isolation from existing workloads. They are using VCF with NSX and need an approach that reduces blast radius while keeping operations manageable. What is the recommended design choice?

After an expansion, several hosts in a VCF workload domain show a 'drift' or non-compliant state against the desired configuration. Which action is the most appropriate first step to remediate while maintaining VCF intended state?

A VI Workload Domain cluster is experiencing intermittent east-west connectivity issues between VMs on different segments. North-south traffic appears normal. Which component and log/source is the best starting point to investigate this issue in a VCF environment using NSX?

An administrator needs to ensure that VCF operations teams can quickly identify capacity risk for a workload domain without logging into each individual component. Which approach best aligns with VCF operational best practices?

A VCF administrator plans a maintenance window to upgrade the VCF stack. Prechecks in SDDC Manager report that one ESXi host is not in a consistent image/compliance state and blocks the upgrade. The business requires minimizing downtime and avoiding unsupported changes. What is the best corrective action?

A security team requires strict separation of duties: platform administrators must manage the VCF infrastructure, while application teams manage only their workloads. The organization also needs consistent lifecycle management across environments. Which design most effectively supports this requirement in VCF?

Which VMware Cloud Foundation component is the primary lifecycle and automation engine used to deploy and update the VCF software stack in a workload domain?

An administrator needs to add host capacity to an existing VI Workload Domain. Which VCF construct is used to bring hosts into VCF so they can be consumed by a workload domain expansion workflow?

A VI Workload Domain uses vSAN. The operations team wants to understand which objects are consuming capacity and what policies they use. Where should they look first for an authoritative view of vSAN object usage tied to the cluster?

During a planned maintenance window, you must patch ESXi hosts in a workload domain while minimizing workload impact. Which approach aligns best with VCF best practices?

A customer wants to isolate tenant workloads by providing separate network segments with centralized routing between them inside the VI Workload Domain. Which NSX construct best meets this requirement?

After expanding a workload domain cluster, several newly added hosts show as connected in vCenter but do not appear as available for NSX transport in the domain. What is the most likely cause in a VCF-managed environment?

An administrator needs to delegate day-to-day VM operations (power on/off, console access) to an application team in a VI Workload Domain, but should not grant permissions to modify hosts, clusters, or VCF lifecycle workflows. What is the best practice approach?

A VCF environment uses a management domain and one VI Workload Domain. The security team requires that management components (SDDC Manager, vCenter, NSX Managers) remain isolated from tenant workload networks while still allowing controlled administrative access. Which design principle best addresses this?

While attempting a VCF lifecycle upgrade, the precheck fails indicating a certificate trust issue between SDDC Manager and a workload domain vCenter Server. What is the most appropriate corrective action?

A VI Workload Domain cluster experiences intermittent east-west connectivity issues only for overlay-backed segments. Underlay connectivity and physical network health appear normal. Which NSX troubleshooting method is most effective to pinpoint whether packet drops are occurring at the transport node level versus gateway services?

During commissioning, a VCF administrator discovers that the physical switches connected to the ESXi hosts have MTU set to 1500 on the VLANs used for the VTEP network. NSX host preparation later fails with intermittent overlay transport issues. What is the recommended corrective action?

A new workload domain has been deployed successfully, but its hosts are not showing up in vRealize Operations (Aria Operations) inventory. The management domain objects appear normally. Which action is most likely required to restore visibility for the workload domain?

An administrator needs to perform maintenance on a physical ToR switch. The impacted VCF workload domain uses vSphere Distributed Switch uplinks, and the goal is to minimize workload disruption during the change. Which approach aligns best with recommended operational practices?

A Cloud Foundation administrator is asked to explain why VCF uses a dedicated management domain instead of placing SDDC Manager, vCenter, and NSX Manager directly into a tenant workload domain. What is the primary architectural reason for this design?

An administrator runs a VCF upgrade precheck in SDDC Manager and receives a warning that a vSphere Distributed Switch has been modified outside of SDDC Manager (for example, adding a new uplink or changing port group settings). The precheck indicates the upgrade might fail due to configuration drift. What is the best next step?
