VMware 5V0-31.23 Exam - Topic 2 Question 21 Discussion

Posted by Lynelle on Nov 22, 2025 at 01:35 PM

An administrator wants to manage certificates of various SDDC Components.

What are the two components certificates an SDDC manager can manage? (Choose two.)

Suggested Answer: C, D

In VMware Cloud Foundation, SDDC Manager provides certificate management for key infrastructure components, specifically ESXi hosts and vCenter Server. This feature allows administrators to replace or renew certificates for these components, ensuring secure communication within the VCF environment.

Certificates for other VMware Aria components (formerly vRealize Suite), such as VMware Aria Operations, VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle, and VMware Aria Automation, are managed independently through their respective interfaces and not directly by SDDC Manager.

I've got a strategy for this - I'll eliminate the options that don't seem relevant, then focus on the two that seem most likely.
