An enterprise uses a shared business operations platform supporting manufacturing sites across several continents. The network links between sites are unreliable, often degrading or dropping entirely during peak traffic periods. The customer is worried that order-processing may slow under heavy load, but they accept reduced responsiveness as long as core functions never disappear. When cut off from the headquarters, each site must continue running its local production systems.
Based on the above scenario, what are the two design qualities the architect needs to focus on in the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) design? (Choose two.)

• A. Performance
• B. Availability
• C. Manageability
• D. Security
• E. Recoverability

An Architect was provided with a list of findings and statements collected during a presales meeting with the customer.
Which two statements should be classified as requirements in the conceptual model? (Choose two.)

• A. Enough unused capacity is available on the storage array for the new workloads.
• B. A single point of failure exists in the networking infrastructure.
• C. The solution must scale by 20 percent over the next three years.
• D. The architecture must provide a resilient multi-site topology.
• E. The design must use the existing shared storage array.

An enterprise architect is designing the physical networking architecture for a greenfield VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) deployment in a single data center. The deployment includes a management domain and multiple workload domains, utilizing NSX for software-defined networking with Geneve overlay encapsulation. NSX Edge nodes will handle North/South routing and services.
Requirements:
* Scalable, non-blocking fabric with predictable oversubscription and low latency.
* Support for high-throughput traffic including vSAN, vMotion, and NSX overlay.
* End-to-end jumbo frame support for efficiency.
* No dependency on physical multicast routing or snooping for overlay (BUM) Broadcast, Unknown- unicast, and Multicast replication.
* Redundant connectivity from hosts to the fabric.
Constraints:
* Existing Top-of-rack switches are limited to 25 GbE host-facing ports.
* The physical network does not support multicast.
* Future expansion to multiple racks and higher port speeds (25/100 GbE) is anticipated.
What are the four design decisions that fit the architecture ' s physical design? (Choose four.)

• A. Implement Layer 2 extended across aggregation switches for VLAN spanning.
• B. Use multicast replication mode in the NSX overlay transport zone to leverage physical network multicast for BUM traffic.
• C. Enable jumbo frames MTU 9190 end-to-end across all switch ports, inter-switch links, and VLAN Layer 3 interfaces used for host transport traffic.
• D. Configure head-end replication mode for BUM traffic in the NSX overlay transport zone to eliminate multicast dependency.
• E. Each ESX host with at least two 10 GbE physical NICs, connected redundantly to separate leaf (ToR) switches.
• F. Deploy a leaf-spine topology with Layer 3 routing BGP between leaf and spine layers for scalable ECMP routing.
• G. Each ESX host has at least two 25 GbE physical NICs, connected redundantly to separate leaf (ToR) switches.

An architect is designing a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Workload Domain for a software development organization. During the requirements gathering phase, the customer has provided the following requirements:
* The platform must enable multiple development teams to provision both Virtual Machines (VM) and Kubernetes clusters within the same self-service project space.
* Each development team must be separated at network level to ensure isolation within the cloud network.
* The solution must also leverage auto SNAT for automated outbound connectivity for workloads.
Which NSX Tier-0 Gateway HA Mode must the architect choose?

• A. Active/Active Stateless
• B. Active/Active Stateful
• C. Active/Standby
• D. Distributed Only
