2V0-21.23 Question 132
Single answerAn organization has multiple data centers across different geographic locations. They want to simplify cluster management for these data centers while ensuring workload placement flexibility and maintaining high availability. Which feature of vSphere Zones makes it suitable for this use case?
- A
vSphere Zones enable the grouping of clusters across different data centers into a single logical construct.
- B
vSphere Zones allow running a single ESXi host across multiple data centers for better workload distribution.
- C
vSphere Zones provide enhanced virtual machine backup capabilities across multiple clusters.
- D
vSphere Zones enforce workload placement policies across clusters for availability and fault tolerance.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
vSphere Zones are designed to group clusters from different data centers into a single logical construct, simplifying management and providing flexibility in workload placement. This makes them ideal for scenarios involving multiple data centers and the need for high availability, such as the one described in the question.
- A. Correct.
vSphere Zones allow administrators to logically group clusters across multiple geographic locations, which simplifies management and ensures workload placement flexibility. This is the correct feature for the scenario described.
- B. Incorrect.
It is not possible to run a single ESXi host across multiple data centers. This option is incorrect.
- C. Incorrect.
vSphere Zones are not focused on backup capabilities. Backup and recovery are managed by other VMware solutions like vSphere Data Protection or third-party tools. This option is incorrect.
- D. Incorrect.
While vSphere Zones can enforce workload placement policies, the key feature relevant to the scenario is their ability to group clusters across data centers into a single logical construct. This option is partially correct but not the most appropriate.
