VMware Certified Professional - Tanzu for Kubernetes Operations Intermediate Practice Exam: Medium Difficulty 2025

A platform team is deploying a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid management cluster in a vSphere environment. They need to ensure high availability for the control plane components. Which configuration should they implement to achieve this requirement?

An administrator is troubleshooting a workload cluster that cannot be provisioned. The management cluster is operational, but the workload cluster creation times out. After checking, they find that the bootstrap VM is created but the control plane nodes are not being initialized. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

A development team needs to deploy applications across multiple Tanzu Kubernetes Grid workload clusters with consistent networking policies and service mesh capabilities. Which combination of components should be implemented to meet these requirements?

An operations team is scaling a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid workload cluster from 3 to 5 worker nodes to handle increased application load. During the scaling operation, they notice that new pods scheduled on the new nodes are failing with ImagePullBackOff errors, while pods on existing nodes work fine. What is the most likely cause and resolution?

A company wants to implement automated cluster lifecycle management for their Tanzu Kubernetes Grid environment, including automated upgrades and configuration management across multiple workload clusters. Which approach best aligns with Tanzu Kubernetes Grid's architecture and recommended practices?

An administrator needs to provide persistent storage for stateful applications running on a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid cluster deployed on vSphere. The applications require storage that can be dynamically provisioned and support volume snapshots for backup purposes. What should be configured to meet these requirements?

A security team requires that all communication between pods in different Tanzu Kubernetes Grid workload clusters must be encrypted and authenticated. The solution must work across clusters deployed in different environments. Which approach should be implemented?

During a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid management cluster upgrade, an administrator notices that some workload clusters are showing reconciliation errors. The management cluster upgrade completed successfully, but workload clusters are now reporting version compatibility issues. What is the recommended approach to resolve this situation?

An application team reports that their pods are being evicted frequently on a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid workload cluster, despite having resource requests and limits defined. Investigation shows that node memory utilization spikes when system daemons perform scheduled tasks. How should this be addressed to ensure application stability?

A company is implementing a multi-tenant Tanzu Kubernetes Grid environment where different teams will deploy workload clusters. They need to ensure proper isolation, resource quotas, and access control while maintaining centralized management. Which combination of strategies should be implemented?
