2V0-13.25 Exam Dumps - VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Architect

Deployingtwo VCF Instancesallows isolation between environments. One instance can serve asdevelopment/testand the other asproduction.

This separation enables patch/upgrade validation without impacting production. VCF architecture supports managing multiple VCF instances in aFleetfor centralized visibility and policy enforcement.

VMware explicitly recommends separating environments for lifecycle testing in environments with strict change control policies.

According to VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 documentation, when a stretched cluster is deployed across sites with sub-5ms latency and high-speed interconnects,vSANcan be configured for zero RPO (Recovery Point Objective), ensuring 100% data consistency and availability in the event of a site failure.vSANsupports co-locating management and application workloads and provides the shared storage functionality with automatic failover capabilities.

Additionally,vSphere Virtual Volumes (vVols)provide granular control of virtual machine storage, and when backed by a storage system that supports replication and failover across sites (with support for VASA 3.0 or later), vVols can meet the same requirements for data availability and disaster recovery.

Requirementsdefine what the solutionmust deliver.

B (block-based storage in WLD)is atechnical requirementthat specifies a mandatory design need.

Other options:

A(must use existing storage) is aconstraint.

C(sufficient storage) is anassumption.

D(network team not trained) is arisk.

Hence, the validrequirementis thatblock-based storage must be used in the workload domain.

Due to theexplicit constraint that no internet accessis permitted, the VCF Installer cannot connect to an online depot. Instead, the architect must use theoffline depot model, where binaries are downloaded externally and made accessiblelocally within the VCF environment(e.g., using a local web server).

This setup aligns with VMware's"air-gapped" deployment guidancefor VCF environments with strict security postures.

To enforcestrict separation of monitoring data, logs, and access control,deploying two separate VCF Operations instancesis the recommended solution. This ensures that each department (HR and Finance) has acompletely isolated monitoring stack, including dashboards, alerts, log retention, and user roles.

Although scopes and index partitions can provide some level of logical segregation within a single instance, they donot guarantee complete security isolation, especially in environments with strict compliance or multi-tenancy concerns. Deploying two separate instances ensurescompliance with data isolation and privacy requirements, making it the most secure and compliant option.
