What is the reason to use a custom profile type when deploying an NSX Edge cluster via SDDC Manager?
In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), a custom profile type is used when deploying an NSX Edge cluster if the environment requires specific configurations, such as Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD). BFD is used to detect link failures quickly, especially in dynamic routing environments, and requires custom configuration that is not part of the standard NSX Edge deployment profiles provided by SDDC Manager.
Which two steps would an administrator complete to upgrade the components of a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) aware Aria Suite? (Choose two.)
In a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment, the process for upgrading Aria Suite components (formerly vRealize Suite) and Aria Suite Lifecycle is as follows:
1. Upgrade Aria Suite components through Aria Suite Lifecycle: Aria Suite Lifecycle is the designated tool for managing and upgrading individual Aria Suite components, ensuring they are properly updated and maintained within VCF.
2. Upgrade Aria Suite Lifecycle through the SDDC Manager: SDDC Manager manages the lifecycle of Aria Suite Lifecycle itself to ensure compatibility with the VCF stack.
An administrator is planning to upgrade an existing VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment:
* 2 VCF instances across 2 sites
* NSX Federated environment
* 1 VMware Cloud Director instance at each site
* Aria suite at each site
Which three components can be upgraded as part of the VCF automated lifecycle management via SDDC manager? (Choose three.)
In a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment, SDDC Manager automates the lifecycle management of key infrastructure components. The components that can be upgraded through SDDC Manager's automated lifecycle management include:
1. VMware ESXi Hosts: SDDC Manager can manage and automate the upgrade of ESXi hosts across the VCF environment.
2. VMware NSX Local Managers: Local NSX Managers at each site are managed and upgraded by SDDC Manager as part of the VCF lifecycle management.
3. VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle: The Aria Suite Lifecycle (formerly vRealize Suite Lifecycle) can also be upgraded via SDDC Manager to maintain compatibility with VCF.
For which three products can SDDC Manager manage the certificates? (Choose three.)
In a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment, SDDC Manager is responsible for managing certificates for several core infrastructure components to ensure secure communication:
1. VMware vCenter Server: SDDC Manager manages the certificates for vCenter Server to maintain secure connectivity and trust within the environment.
2. VMware SDDC Manager: Certificates for SDDC Manager itself are managed to secure its interactions with other VCF components.
3. VMware NSX Manager: Certificates for NSX Manager are managed by SDDC Manager, ensuring secure network management and data transport.
Which two are valid considerations describing VMware Cloud Gateway in VMware Cloud Foundation+ (VCF+) environment? (Choose two.)
In a VMware Cloud Foundation+ (VCF+) environment, the VMware Cloud Gateway facilitates connectivity between the on-premises VCF infrastructure and VMware Cloud services. Key considerations include:
1. It connects to on-premises SDDC Manager: The Cloud Gateway establishes a connection with SDDC Manager, enabling VCF to leverage cloud-based services and central management.
2. It is deployed in the VCF Management Domain: The Cloud Gateway is typically deployed within the Management Domain, where it can securely integrate with the VCF core management infrastructure.
