An architect is designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based private cloud solution for a customer. The customer has stated the following requirement: All management tooling must be resilient…

Question

Options

• AThe solution will deploy the VCF Workload domain in a stretched topology across two sites.
• BThe solution will deploy three Aria Automation appliances in a clustered topology.
• CThe solution will deploy Aria Suite Lifecycle in a clustered topology.
• DThe solution will deploy an external load balancer for Aria Operations Cloud Proxies.

• B

• C

Explanation

Resilience against a single ESXi host failure requires high availability (HA) for management components in VCF. VMware Aria Suite, including Aria Automation, supports HA via clustering. Option B, deploying "three Aria Automation appliances in a clustered topology," ensures that if one host fails, the remaining two can maintain service, meeting the requirement directly. A cluster of three nodes is the minimum for HA in Aria Automation, providing fault tolerance within a VCF management domain. Option A (stretched workload domain) is unrelated to management tooling HA, C (Aria Suite Lifecycle clustering) isn't a standard HA feature for that component, and D (load balancer for Operations proxies) addresses a different component and purpose.
