2V0-21.23 Question 90
Select 3An organization wants to ensure their virtualized environment is secured by validating that only trusted ESXi hosts are part of their cluster. They also want to enforce that workloads are only run on these trusted hosts. How can VMware vSphere Trust Authority help achieve this goal?
- A
By establishing a trusted relationship between a vSphere Trust Authority host and a vCenter Server.
- B
By using a key provider to encrypt workloads and ensure only trusted hosts have access to the keys.
- C
By enabling vSphere Trust Authority to provide attestation for ESXi hosts in the cluster.
- D
By ensuring that only vSphere Distributed Switches are used in trusted environments.
- E
By using TPM 2.0 hardware on ESXi hosts to verify their trustworthiness.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, C, E
Explanation
vSphere Trust Authority enhances security by establishing a trusted environment for workloads. It achieves this by providing attestation for ESXi hosts, using key providers to encrypt workloads, and relying on TPM 2.0 hardware to verify the integrity of hosts. This ensures that workloads run only on trusted hosts, mitigating the risk of compromised infrastructure.
- A. Incorrect.
This option is incorrect because vSphere Trust Authority establishes a trusted relationship between a Trust Authority Cluster and the workload cluster, not directly with the vCenter Server.
- B. Correct.
This option is correct because vSphere Trust Authority uses key providers to encrypt and protect workloads, ensuring only trusted hosts can access encryption keys.
- C. Correct.
This option is correct because vSphere Trust Authority enables attestation, which validates the integrity of ESXi hosts in the cluster.
- D. Incorrect.
This option is incorrect because vSphere Trust Authority is not related to vSphere Distributed Switches; it focuses on securing ESXi hosts and encrypting workloads.
- E. Correct.
This option is correct because vSphere Trust Authority relies on TPM 2.0 hardware to verify the trustworthiness of ESXi hosts.
