An administrator needs to scale out the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Automation node from a small to a medium form factor. The environment is currently deployed using the Simple VCF Automation…

Question

Options

• ADeploy a separate VCF Automation instance in the environment.
• BRedeploy the VCF Automation node as a single medium form factor using the VCF Operations
• CScale up the VCF Automation node to medium form factor using the VCF Operations Console.
• DScale out the VCF Automation deployment to a High Availability model with medium form factor.

• A
  11% (4)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  83% (30)

Explanation

VCF 9.0 states for the Simple Automation model: "Single node... Applies to Small... Can be scaled out to the high availability model by resizing the node to Medium or Large, which also forces the scale out to 3 nodes." In addition, the Day-N procedure confirms the action is a Scale (scale-out) operation: "Scale VCF Automation... choose a larger target deployment type such as Medium or Large..." and provide "Additional VIPs" and a "Cluster Node IP Pool" (Medium requires a minimum of four IPs), then submit the scale out request. Therefore, moving from Small (Simple) to Medium necessarily transitions to the High Availability (3-node) model rather than remaining a single medium node. This aligns the form factor with the documented model behavior and the fleet management workflow.
