2V0-71.23 Question 63
Select 3You are an administrator tasked with enabling vSphere with Tanzu on an existing vSphere cluster. During the configuration process, you realize that some prerequisites are not met. Which of the following are required to successfully enable vSphere with Tanzu in this environment?
- A
A vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) configured with the correct network settings
- B
A compatible load balancer configured for the Supervisor Cluster
- C
The vSphere cluster must have a minimum of three hosts
- D
A standalone vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) with no attached external Platform Services Controller
- E
An ESXi host configured with a minimum of 8 GB of memory
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
To enable vSphere with Tanzu, a vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) is required for network configuration, a compatible load balancer is necessary for handling workload traffic, and a cluster with a minimum of three hosts ensures high availability. While certain configurations, such as a standalone VCSA or specific ESXi memory values, are important, they are not strict requirements for enabling the feature.
- A. Correct.
A vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) is a fundamental requirement for enabling vSphere with Tanzu as it provides the necessary network configuration for the Supervisor Cluster and TKG workloads.
- B. Correct.
A compatible load balancer, such as NSX Advanced Load Balancer or HAProxy, is required to manage traffic for the Supervisor Cluster and Kubernetes workloads.
- C. Correct.
A minimum of three ESXi hosts is required to form a Supervisor Cluster as it ensures high availability and resource distribution for the Kubernetes control plane.
- D. Incorrect.
While vSphere with Tanzu can operate with a standalone VCSA, having an external Platform Services Controller does not disqualify the setup. This option is not a strict requirement.
- E. Incorrect.
An ESXi host requires more than 8 GB of memory to run vSphere with Tanzu effectively. The recommended minimum for vSphere with Tanzu is significantly higher.
