VMware Certified Advanced Professional - VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Operations Intermediate Practice Exam: Medium Difficulty 2025

An administrator is designing a VMware Cloud Foundation deployment for a company that requires separation of management and compute workloads across different physical infrastructure. The company also needs the ability to scale compute capacity independently. Which VI workload domain architecture should the administrator implement?

A VMware Cloud Foundation administrator notices that vSAN performance metrics show increased latency on one host in a cluster. After investigating, they find that one disk group is performing poorly. What is the most appropriate first step to address this issue while maintaining cluster availability?

An organization is planning to perform lifecycle management on their VMware Cloud Foundation environment. They need to update NSX-T Data Center across multiple workload domains. Which tool and approach should the administrator use to ensure consistency and supportability?

A VMware Cloud Foundation administrator is monitoring cluster performance and notices that CPU ready time is consistently above 10% on several VMs during business hours. The cluster has sufficient CPU resources available but memory utilization is at 85%. What is the most likely cause of the elevated CPU ready time?

During a planned maintenance window, an administrator needs to place an ESXi host in a VCF workload domain into maintenance mode. The host is part of a vSAN cluster and runs several critical VMs. What must the administrator verify before proceeding to ensure data availability?

A company's VMware Cloud Foundation environment is experiencing intermittent network connectivity issues for workload VMs. The administrator discovers that the MTU settings are mismatched between the NSX-T overlay network (MTU 9000) and the physical network switches (MTU 1500). What is the correct remediation approach?

An administrator is reviewing vRealize Log Insight (vRLI) data to investigate performance degradation in a VCF workload domain. They need to correlate events across vCenter, NSX-T, and ESXi hosts during a specific time window. What is the most efficient approach to identify the root cause?

A VMware Cloud Foundation environment spans two availability zones with stretched clusters. The administrator needs to implement a network architecture that provides Layer 2 extension and workload mobility between sites while maintaining independent failure domains for management components. Which NSX-T architecture component is most appropriate?

During a health check, an administrator discovers that password rotation for service accounts has not occurred as scheduled in SDDC Manager. Several component passwords are approaching expiration. What should be the administrator's first action to resolve this situation?

An administrator notices that vSAN resynchronization traffic is consuming significant network bandwidth during business hours in a VMware Cloud Foundation workload domain. The cluster is healthy but recently had a host failure and replacement. What configuration change would help manage this bandwidth consumption during business hours?
