2V0-21.23 Question 124
Select 4An organization plans to deploy VMware vSphere with Tanzu to enable Kubernetes-based workload management on their existing vSphere infrastructure. To achieve this, which high-level components must be deployed and configured as part of the solution?
- A
vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS)
- B
Supervisor Cluster
- C
Load Balancer (such as NSX Advanced Load Balancer or HAProxy)
- D
vSphere Replication Appliance
- E
vCenter Server
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C, E
Explanation
Deploying VMware vSphere with Tanzu involves setting up essential components such as the vSphere Distributed Switch for networking, a Supervisor Cluster for Kubernetes management, a Load Balancer for traffic distribution, and vCenter Server for overall management. These components collectively enable the deployment and operation of Kubernetes workloads within a vSphere environment. The vSphere Replication Appliance is not part of this solution, as it serves a different purpose related to disaster recovery.
- A. Correct.
vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) is required to provide network connectivity between Kubernetes workloads, the Supervisor Cluster, and other infrastructure components.
- B. Correct.
The Supervisor Cluster is essential as it transforms vSphere into a platform capable of running Kubernetes workloads by leveraging ESXi hosts.
- C. Correct.
A Load Balancer (e.g., NSX Advanced Load Balancer or HAProxy) is required for managing traffic to Kubernetes services deployed in vSphere with Tanzu.
- D. Incorrect.
The vSphere Replication Appliance is not a required component for running vSphere with Tanzu. It is used for disaster recovery scenarios and is unrelated to Tanzu's Kubernetes functionality.
- E. Correct.
vCenter Server is required for managing the vSphere environment, enabling workload management, and deploying Tanzu components.
