2V0-71.23 Question 234
Select 3An organization is planning to deploy vSphere with Tanzu to enable Kubernetes workloads on their existing vSphere infrastructure. They want to use the vSphere Networking Stack instead of NSX-T for simplicity. Which of the following requirements must be fulfilled in order to enable vSphere with Tanzu without NSX-T?
- A
A vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) version 7.0 or higher must be configured.
- B
The environment must have an external load balancer compatible with vSphere with Tanzu, such as HAProxy.
- C
Each ESXi host in the cluster must have vSphere Standard licensing or higher.
- D
The cluster must have a shared datastore accessible to all ESXi hosts in the cluster.
- E
An NSX-T Manager instance must be deployed and fully configured.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
When deploying vSphere with Tanzu without NSX-T, certain requirements must be met for the environment to support Kubernetes workloads. A vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) version 7.0 or higher is required to handle networking. An external load balancer, such as HAProxy, is needed to manage Kubernetes traffic. Additionally, a shared datastore is necessary for persistent storage across the cluster. NSX-T Manager is not required in this setup, and vSphere Enterprise Plus licensing is mandatory for enabling Tanzu features.
- A. Correct.
Correct: vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) version 7.0 or higher is required when enabling vSphere with Tanzu without NSX-T, as it facilitates the networking for Kubernetes workloads.
- B. Correct.
Correct: An external load balancer, such as HAProxy, is mandatory in environments where NSX-T is not used. It handles the distribution of traffic to Kubernetes services.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: vSphere Enterprise Plus licensing is required to enable vSphere with Tanzu, not vSphere Standard licensing. vSphere Standard licensing will not meet the requirements.
- D. Correct.
Correct: A shared datastore is essential for enabling vSphere with Tanzu because it is used to store persistent data for Kubernetes workloads.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: NSX-T Manager is not required when deploying vSphere with Tanzu using the vSphere Networking Stack and an external load balancer.
