VMware Exam 2V0-13.25 Topic 4 Question 5 Discussion

Actual exam question for VMware's 2V0-13.25 exam
Question #: 5
Topic #: 4
[All 2V0-13.25 Questions]

An architect is designing a Business Continuity Disaster Recovery (BCDR) strategy for a Virtual Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment with a management domain and multiple workload domains deployed in two datacenters located in the same city.

During one of the initial workshops with stakeholders, the following information was identified:

The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for workloads is 24 hours.

The management domain must remain continuously available with Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of 0.

Hardware overhead should be minimized by utilizing standby resources that host test workloads during normal operation.

Operational overhead should be minimized.

Latency between both datacenters is 2 ms.

Which design decision should the architect document to satisfy provided requirements?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

To ensure zero RPO and high availability for the management domain, the best-fit design is to use a vSAN Stretched Cluster. With a 2ms latency and shared witness site, this design enables synchronous replication and automatic failover, ensuring no data loss (RPO 0) and minimal downtime.

For the workload domains where 24-hour RTO is acceptable, Live Recovery (leveraging replication and automation like Site Recovery Manager or Aria Automation Orchestrator) can be used to minimize operational effort and still meet recovery timelines. This strategy also aligns with minimizing hardware overhead by using the standby test infrastructure as failover capacity.

I agree, the stretched cluster and Live Recovery approach looks like the best fit here.

Option B seems like the most comprehensive solution to meet the given requirements.

This is a tricky one. I'm not super familiar with VCF, but from the details provided, it sounds like we need a highly available and resilient solution. The low latency between datacenters opens up some interesting options. I'm leaning towards option D, as the async replication could give us the flexibility we need to meet the RTO and RPO requirements.

Okay, I think I've got a handle on this. The management domain needs zero RPO, so that rules out option C. And since the latency is low, a stretched cluster for the management domain seems like the way to go, along with async replication for the workloads. That should satisfy the RTO and minimize overhead. I'll go with option B.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the latency requirement. Does that mean we need to keep the datacenters in the same city? And what exactly is a "VCF environment" - is that like a VMware thing? I'll need to brush up on my cloud infrastructure knowledge for this one.

This looks like a pretty straightforward BCDR question. I'd probably start by focusing on the key requirements - continuous availability for the management domain, 24-hour RTO for workloads, and minimizing hardware/operational overhead.
