VMware 2V0-17.25 Exam - Topic 2 Question 14 Discussion

Posted by Gerald on May 05, 2026 at 08:16 PM

Which tool does an administrator use to collect and validate the initial inputs for the deployment of a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) fleet?

Suggested Answer: C

VCF 9.0 replaces legacy bring-up tooling with the VCF Installer, which provides a deployment wizard that validates configuration before bring-up. The guide describes: ''The deployment wizard validates your inputs... and displays errors and warnings if any.'' and that administrators ''Download and complete the planning and preparation workbook and have the information ready for validating inputs in the deployment wizard.''

While the workbook is used to collect information, the validation of those inputs is performed by the VCF Installer wizard prior to deployment. SDDC Manager is used after bring-up for lifecycle operations, and Cloud Builder is not used in VCF 9.0 deployments. Therefore, VCF Installer is the correct tool for collecting (via wizard prompts) and validating initial deployment inputs.
