Question
An architect is responsible for designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based private cloud for a customer. During the customer requirements gathering workshop, the customer has stated the following:
- All Platinum applications/services must have an availability SLA of
99.99%.
- All Gold applications/services must have an availability SLA of
99.9%.
- All Silver applications/services must have an availability SLA of
99%.
- The private cloud must have an availability SLA of 99.9%.
What should the architect recommend to meet the stated requirements?
Options
- AThe private cloud must only be used to host Silver and Gold services.
- BThe private cloud SLA can only be met using multiple VMware Cloud Foundation instances
- CThe Platinum service availability requirements must be met by the application.
- DThe Platinum service availability requirements must be met by configuring Proactive High

Explanation
The overall private cloud SLA is 99.9%, but Platinum applications require 99.99%, which exceeds the infrastructure SLA. VMware design methodology states: If an application's SLA is higher than the infrastructure SLA, then the application itself must provide the additional resilience (e.g., clustering, active-active deployment, or application-level Options A and B reduce flexibility or impose unnecessary complexity. Option D (Proactive HA) improves resiliency but cannot guarantee 99.99%, since Proactive HA still depends on underlying infrastructure SLA. Therefore, the only valid recommendation is that Platinum workloads must implement resilience at the application layer.
