2V0-21.23 Question 289
Single answerAn administrator is configuring VMware vSphere with Tanzu in their environment. They want to ensure that they can deploy Tanzu Kubernetes clusters on their vSphere infrastructure. Which step is mandatory during the configuration process?
- A
Enable the vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) for NSX-T integration.
- B
Create a Supervisor Cluster by enabling Workload Management on a vSphere cluster.
- C
Deploy vCenter Server in Enhanced Linked Mode for Tanzu compatibility.
- D
Install the Kubernetes CLI (kubectl) on the vCenter Server.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
To configure VMware vSphere with Tanzu and deploy Tanzu Kubernetes clusters, the administrator must create a Supervisor Cluster by enabling Workload Management on a vSphere cluster. This step initializes the integration of Kubernetes with the vSphere environment, enabling the deployment and management of Kubernetes resources directly from vSphere.
- A. Incorrect.
While the vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) is used in some configurations, it is not mandatory to enable it specifically for NSX-T integration to deploy Tanzu Kubernetes clusters.
- B. Correct.
Creating a Supervisor Cluster by enabling Workload Management on a vSphere cluster is a key step in configuring vSphere with Tanzu. This allows the deployment of Tanzu Kubernetes clusters.
- C. Incorrect.
Deploying vCenter Server in Enhanced Linked Mode is not a requirement for setting up vSphere with Tanzu. It is used for managing multiple vCenter instances but is unrelated to Tanzu configuration.
- D. Incorrect.
Installing the Kubernetes CLI (kubectl) on the vCenter Server is unnecessary. While kubectl is used to manage Kubernetes clusters, it is installed on the administrator's machine, not the vCenter Server.
