VMware Cloud Provider Specialist Practice Exam 2025: Latest Questions

A cloud provider wants tenants to consume IaaS through VMware Cloud Director while ensuring each tenant’s workloads are logically isolated and can be managed independently by different provider teams. Which design best aligns with Cloud Director architecture and operational separation?

A tenant administrator reports they cannot create new VMs because they have reached a limit. The provider wants to enforce per-tenant consumption limits without manually tracking usage. Which VMware Cloud Director feature is designed for this purpose?

A provider wants to offer a self-service network that tenants can create and connect to multiple vApps, while keeping it scoped to the tenant. Which Cloud Director network type best meets this requirement?

A tenant reports that a VM cannot reach an external IP address, but other VMs on the same tenant network can. The provider confirms the edge gateway and upstream routing are healthy. What is the MOST likely issue to check first on the affected VM?

A provider is designing capacity for a Cloud Director environment where tenants have variable workloads and the provider wants strong consolidation while still enforcing tenant entitlements. Which Organization VDC allocation model is generally the best fit for maximizing utilization while keeping predictable enforcement?

A provider wants to allow a tenant to publish a catalog to another organization while ensuring only approved templates are shared and the provider can revoke access if needed. What is the recommended approach in VMware Cloud Director?

A tenant needs inbound access to a web application running in a routed tenant network. The provider must publish the service to the Internet while limiting exposure to only TCP 443 and preserving the tenant’s internal IP addressing. Which configuration is MOST appropriate on the tenant edge gateway?

A provider observes intermittent failures when tenant users log in to the Cloud Director portal. API calls from automation occasionally return authentication errors, but the underlying vCenter and NSX managers are healthy. Which troubleshooting step is MOST appropriate to isolate the issue at the Cloud Director layer?

A cloud provider offers a regulated hosting tier where east-west traffic between tenant workloads must be filtered at the VM NIC level, even when VMs are on the same segment, without relying on perimeter-only controls at the edge gateway. What solution best meets this requirement in a Cloud Director environment backed by NSX?

A provider is onboarding a new resource cluster into an existing Cloud Director deployment. After adding the backing vCenter resources, tenants cannot place workloads because no compute is available in their Organization VDCs. The provider confirms the cluster has free capacity and is visible in vCenter. Which action is REQUIRED in Cloud Director to make that capacity consumable by tenants?

A cloud provider wants to reduce the blast radius of misconfigured tenant networks and ensure predictable north-south routing across multiple VMware Cloud Director (VCD) cells. Which architecture approach is MOST appropriate?

An organization admin reports they cannot see a newly published catalog that should be shared with all tenants. The provider confirms the catalog exists in a separate provider VCD instance used for content management. What is the MOST likely missing configuration?

A provider wants to ensure tenants can only deploy workloads from approved templates and cannot upload arbitrary media/OVAs. Which VCD control BEST enforces this requirement?

A tenant is using a routed Org VDC network and reports that east-west traffic between two VMs on the same segment works, but north-south traffic to the internet fails. Other tenants using the same Provider Gateway are unaffected. What is the MOST likely cause within the tenant configuration?

A provider must allow a tenant to connect their on-premises environment to their Org VDC using a standards-based VPN and ensure BGP is used to dynamically exchange routes. Which solution BEST meets the requirement?

A provider wants to allocate resources to tenants with predictable performance and enforce a hard limit so one tenant cannot burst and starve others. Which allocation approach BEST fits this requirement in an Org VDC design?

A tenant reports that they can create firewall rules on their Edge Gateway but the rules never take effect. The provider verifies the Edge Gateway exists and is connected to the correct Provider Gateway. What is the MOST likely reason the rules are not applied?

A provider needs to troubleshoot intermittent tenant portal slowness. API calls succeed but are delayed during peak usage. Which action is MOST appropriate first step to isolate whether the bottleneck is at the VCD cell tier versus the database tier?

A tenant must expose a public HTTPS service from a VM, but the provider requires that the VM remain on a private network with no direct external attachment. Which configuration BEST satisfies the requirement while adhering to least privilege?

A provider is designing multi-site resiliency for VCD. They want to continue serving tenant operations even if one site becomes unavailable, without relying on manual reconfiguration of tenant endpoints. Which design consideration is MOST critical?

A cloud provider wants tenants to consume a standard set of security controls (firewall, NAT, VPN) while keeping tenant networks isolated and avoiding shared configuration changes across tenants. Which design is the BEST fit in VMware Cloud Director with NSX-T?

A tenant reports they cannot access a newly deployed VM from the Internet. In VMware Cloud Director, the VM is connected to an org network behind an Edge Gateway. Outbound access from the VM works. Which missing configuration is the MOST likely cause?

A cloud provider needs to offer multiple performance tiers to tenants (e.g., standard and premium) while keeping resource contention predictable. Which approach in VMware Cloud Director is MOST appropriate?

An organization administrator wants to let developers deploy VMs but prevent them from creating new external networks, Edge Gateways, or modifying organization-level networking. Which is the BEST way to meet this requirement in VMware Cloud Director?

A provider uses VMware Cloud Director with NSX-T. After a planned maintenance, tenants report that new routed networks cannot be created and Edge Gateway deployments fail across multiple organizations. Existing workloads continue to run. Which underlying issue is MOST likely?
