VCP550 Question #68: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is B: Web Server virtual machines. vFlash Read Cache benefits workloads with highly repetitive, read-intensive access patterns, and web servers serving static content represent the ideal use case due to their predictable, cache-friendly I/O profile.

Question

An administrator needs to configure vFlash Read Cache to improve performance. What would benefit the most from enabling vFlash Read Cache?

Options

  • AVirtual machines replicated with vSphere Replication
  • BWeb Server virtual machines
  • CDatabase virtual machines
  • DVirtual machines migrated using Storage vMotion

Explanation

vFlash Read Cache benefits workloads with highly repetitive, read-intensive access patterns, and web servers serving static content represent the ideal use case due to their predictable, cache-friendly I/O profile.

Common mistakes.

  • A. VMs using vSphere Replication are involved in asynchronous data replication for disaster recovery, a data-movement workload that does not produce the repetitive read patterns vFlash Read Cache is designed to accelerate.
  • C. Database VMs often have large working sets that exceed flash cache capacity and involve significant write I/O, making their read cache hit rates lower and less consistent than a web server workload.
  • D. Storage vMotion is a one-time migration operation that sequentially reads and writes VM storage, not a steady-state repetitive read workload that benefits from caching.

Concept tested. vFlash Read Cache workload suitability selection
