2V0-71.23 Question 233
Single answerAn organization has deployed vSphere with Tanzu and wants to enable Kubernetes workloads on their environment. During the configuration, they need to ensure proper networking is set up for the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service. Which step is required to ensure that Kubernetes workloads will have external access and can communicate with other services?
- A
Configure a Load Balancer service using NSX-T or HAProxy.
- B
Assign a separate vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) for workload communication.
- C
Enable Kubernetes API access through the Supervisor Cluster.
- D
Set up an NFS server for persistent storage.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
In vSphere with Tanzu, the Load Balancer service (NSX-T or HAProxy) plays a critical role in facilitating external access to Kubernetes workloads by providing ingress and managing traffic routing. Without a properly configured Load Balancer, external communication to workloads would not function correctly.
- A. Correct.
Configuring a Load Balancer service is required for external access to Kubernetes workloads. vSphere with Tanzu relies on a Load Balancer (NSX-T or HAProxy) to manage traffic for Kubernetes services and ingress.
- B. Incorrect.
While using a vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) is necessary for the overall networking of vSphere with Tanzu, simply assigning another vDS does not directly enable external access for workloads.
- C. Incorrect.
Enabling Kubernetes API access is important for managing the Supervisor Cluster, but it does not directly ensure that Kubernetes workloads have external access.
- D. Incorrect.
Setting up an NFS server is a storage-related task and is unrelated to enabling external network access for Kubernetes workloads.
