An administrator needs to ensure that all ESXi hosts in a cluster have a consistent configuration.
Which three steps are necessary to achieve this? (Choose three.)
A,B,D
Explanation:
You extract a host profile from the reference host that has the desired configuration.
Before extraction, you configure the reference ESXi host with the settings you want standardized.
You attach the extracted host profile to all other hosts in the cluster to enforce a consistent
configuration.
An administrator is tasked to configure a Content Library to share its contents across multiple
vCenter Server instances.
What are the necessary steps and considerations to ensure the library is accessible for the
consumption by the other vCenter instances?
C
Explanation:
You first create a Local Content Library on the primary vCenter and enable the “Publish” option; this
makes its publishing URL available. Then, on each additional vCenter, you create a Subscribed
Content Library that points to that URL so content can be automatically synchronized.
An administrator is tasked with deploying a new, highly-available application on a VMware Cloud
Foundation (VCF)-based private cloud. The new application will include both virtual machines and
containers.
Which two components of VCF could the administrator use to complete the task? (Choose two.)
C,E
Explanation:
NSX provides the networking, security, and load-balancing services needed for high availability, while
vSphere Supervisor enables Kubernetes integration alongside VMs, allowing you to run and manage
containerized workloads on the same platform.
What are three prerequisites for deploying an NSX Edge cluster in a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)
solution? (Choose three.)
B,C,D
Explanation:
The NSX host overlay VLAN and NSX Edge overlay VLAN must be routed to each other so Edge nodes
can establish overlay tunnels with transport nodes.
DNS A records for each NSX Edge node are required for name resolution during deployment and
operation.
NSX requires distinct VLAN IDs and subnets for the host overlay network (transport nodes) and the
Edge overlay network to segregate traffic and avoid IP space conflicts.

What is the primary use case for Aria Operations within VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)?
A
Explanation:
Aria Operations delivers unified monitoring, capacity planning, and predictive analytics for the VCF
infrastructure, ensuring health and performance visibility across all components.
An administrator is tasked with enabling Workload Management (vSphere Supervisor) on a VMware
Cloud Foundation (VCF) workload domain using the SDDC Manager UI.
Which three are prerequisites for enabling Workload Management? (Choose three.)
A,C,D
Explanation:
Supervisor relies on dedicated port groups on the vSphere Distributed Switch for control plane and
workload traffic.
vSphere with Tanzu requires appropriate licensing on all cluster hosts to enable Workload
Management features.
Workload Management uses NSX Edge clusters (and the associated load balancer services) to
provide Kubernetes API endpoint availability.
Following an internal security audit of the new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) instance, the
following audit finding was documented for priority remediation:
● All users from the custom administrators group could access the Direct Console User Interface
(DCUI) on all ESXi hosts within the workload domain. RISK=High, IMPACT=High
The company IT security policy around accessing ESXi servers states the following:
● Users within the custom administrators group must access ESXi host configurations from within
vCenter Server or the vSphere Web Client only.
● Only users within the restricted administrators group must be allowed direct access to ESXi hosts.
Which two actions should the administrator perform on each of the hosts within the workload
domain to remediate the security finding? (Choose two.)
C,E

An administrator has been tasked with creating a view of key performance indicators for their
VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) private cloud and an automated monthly report that shows the
capacity consumed by each development team who use the environment.
Which VCF component should the administrator configure to complete their objectives?
B
Explanation:
VMware Aria Operations delivers dashboards for key performance indicators and includes built-in
capacity planning and reporting features that can be scheduled to show resource consumption by
team.
An organization is using VMware Aria Automation for automating virtual machine deployments.
Recently, some deployment requests have been failing. An administrator needs to use Aria
Automation to troubleshoot these failures.
Which two steps should be taken? (Choose two.)
B,D
Explanation:
Checking the request logs surfaces the specific error messages and failures during provisioning.
Reviewing the provisioning diagrams helps identify patterns or misconfigurations in the automation
workflow.
An administrator is responsible for maintaining a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) instance. The
administrator has been tasked with scaling the CPU and RAM resources of a virtual machine.
Which three configuration limitations must the administrator consider when completing the task?
(Choose three.)
A,C,F
Explanation:
Memory Hot Add must be enabled before you can add RAM to a running VM.
CPU Hot Add must be enabled before adding vCPUs to a powered-on VM.
You can only toggle the Hot Add features (CPU or Memory) when the VM is powered off.
