VMware Cloud Provider Specialist Intermediate Practice Exam: Medium Difficulty 2025

A Cloud Service Provider is designing a multi-tenant VMware Cloud Director environment and needs to ensure resource isolation while maximizing hardware utilization. The provider plans to support both production and development workloads for different customers. Which architecture approach best meets these requirements?

An administrator notices that several tenant organizations in VMware Cloud Director are experiencing slow vApp deployments from catalogs. After investigation, they find that the catalog items are being transferred over the management network. What configuration change would optimize this scenario?

A service provider needs to implement a solution where tenant organizations can deploy workloads that require direct connectivity to external networks without traversing the provider's edge gateway. The solution must maintain security boundaries between tenants. Which networking approach should be implemented?

During a troubleshooting session, an administrator discovers that a tenant's vApp is consuming significantly more CPU resources than allocated in their organization VDC. The organization VDC uses the Allocation Pool model with a 2 GHz limit. What is the most likely explanation?

A Cloud Service Provider is experiencing certificate validation errors when tenant organizations attempt to access vApp consoles through VMware Cloud Director. The provider recently renewed the SSL certificate for the Cloud Director cells. What is the most likely cause and resolution?

A service provider wants to implement a chargeback model based on actual resource consumption rather than allocation. They need to track CPU, memory, and storage usage for each tenant organization. Which combination of VMware Cloud Director features should be configured?

A tenant organization reports that their multi-tier application deployed in VMware Cloud Director cannot communicate between tiers despite being on the same organization VDC network. The network is configured as a routed network connected to an Edge Gateway with DHCP enabled. What should the administrator check first?

A Cloud Service Provider needs to perform maintenance on a cluster that hosts a Provider Virtual Data Center with running tenant workloads. The maintenance window is limited, and the provider wants to minimize tenant impact. Which approach should be taken?

An administrator needs to implement network segmentation for a tenant's PCI-DSS compliant workloads in VMware Cloud Director. The tenant requires strict isolation between their cardholder data environment (CDE) and general corporate VMs, with all traffic logged and inspected. Which solution provides the most comprehensive security approach?

A VMware Cloud Director cell is showing high CPU utilization and slow API response times during peak business hours. The environment has three cells in a load-balanced configuration. After reviewing logs, the administrator notices numerous database connection timeout errors. What is the most effective remediation approach?
