2V0-71.23 Question 135
Select 3You are tasked with deploying a workload cluster in VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG) for a production environment. The requirements specify that the cluster must be highly available, use a custom machine image, and integrate with an external load balancer. What steps should you take to ensure the workload cluster meets these requirements?
- A
Configure the cluster plan as 'prod' in the cluster configuration file.
- B
Specify the custom machine image in the 'OSImage' field of the cluster configuration file.
- C
Use the 'tanzu cluster create' command without specifying a configuration file to deploy the cluster.
- D
Integrate with the external load balancer by setting the 'clusterAPIExternalLB' field in the configuration file.
- E
Deploy the cluster using a single control plane node to simplify the setup process.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To deploy a workload cluster that meets the requirements for high availability, a custom machine image, and external load balancer integration, you must use a 'prod' cluster plan, specify the custom OS image in the configuration file, and configure the external load balancer integration. Skipping a configuration file or deploying a single control plane node would fail to meet the specified requirements.
- A. Correct.
Configuring the cluster plan as 'prod' ensures that the workload cluster is deployed with a highly available setup, typically including multiple control plane nodes.
- B. Correct.
Specifying the custom machine image in the 'OSImage' field ensures that the workload cluster uses the required operating system image during deployment.
- C. Incorrect.
Using the 'tanzu cluster create' command without a configuration file does not allow for customization, which means you cannot meet the requirements for a custom machine image or external load balancer integration.
- D. Correct.
Setting the 'clusterAPIExternalLB' field in the configuration file enables the workload cluster to integrate with an external load balancer, which is a requirement for the scenario.
- E. Incorrect.
Deploying the cluster with a single control plane node does not meet the high availability requirement specified for the production environment.
