2V0-32.24 Question 51
Select 3A company is designing a private cloud infrastructure and needs to ensure it can handle future growth while minimizing downtime. They are considering VMware vSphere and VMware vSAN to support their cloud operations. What key design considerations should they focus on to meet their scalability and availability requirements?
- A
Implementing a stretched cluster configuration for VMware vSAN.
- B
Using a single vSphere host with local storage to reduce costs.
- C
Designing for N+1 redundancy in the cluster.
- D
Leveraging VMware vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) for automated workload balancing.
- E
Avoiding the use of vSphere High Availability (HA) to simplify the setup.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To meet scalability and availability requirements in a private cloud infrastructure, it is essential to focus on features that provide redundancy, workload balancing, and resilience against failures. A stretched cluster configuration, N+1 redundancy, and leveraging DRS are all design considerations that align with these goals. Avoiding HA or using a single host with local storage would undermine the scalability and availability objectives.
- A. Correct.
Implementing a stretched cluster configuration for VMware vSAN ensures data availability across multiple sites and provides resilience in case of site failures, which directly supports scalability and availability requirements.
- B. Incorrect.
Using a single vSphere host with local storage is not recommended for scalability and availability as it creates a single point of failure and limits future growth.
- C. Correct.
Designing for N+1 redundancy ensures that there is at least one additional resource available to handle failures, improving availability and supporting future scalability.
- D. Correct.
Leveraging VMware vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) ensures workloads are balanced automatically across the cluster, optimizing resource utilization and supporting scalability.
- E. Incorrect.
Avoiding the use of vSphere High Availability (HA) would compromise the ability to recover workloads automatically in case of host failures, which is critical for availability.
