Exam 2V0-13.25 topic 1 question 29 discussion

Actual exam question from VMware's 2V0-13.25

Question #: 29
Topic #: 1

An architect is expanding an existing private cloud infrastructure based on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). the requirement is to deploy two additional instances of VCF at two separate datacenters within the existing private cloud with minimal additional footprint.
Datacenter A is 90 miles from the existing VCF fleet instance with a network round trip time of 90ms.
Datacenter B is 120 miles from the existing VCF fleet instance with a network round trip time of 120ms.
Which design decision would meet the requirement for this expansion?

A. Deploy two additional VCF instances within the existing VCF fleet, one each in datacenters A and B.
B. Deploy an additional VCF fleet in datacenter B and an additional VCF instance within the existing VCF fleet in datacenter A.
C. Deploy two additional VCF fleets, one for each VCF instance in datacenters A and B.
D. Deploy an additional VCF fleet in datacenter A and an additional VCF instance within the existing VCF fleet in datacenter B.

With minimal additional footprint, so it must be B

VMware Cloud Foundation requires low latency for fleet operations. Typically, the recommendation is <50ms RTT between VCF instances in the same fleet. Your datacenters have 90ms and 120ms RTT, which exceeds the supported threshold for a single fleet. So I will go with option C.

The correct design decision is to deploy two additional VCF fleets, one for each VCF instance in datacenters A and B. VCF Stretched Cluster Latency Limit: The maximum supported network round-trip time (RTT) for the vSAN data path in a stretched cluster configuration (which allows a single VCF instance across multiple sites) is 5ms.

Why B is correct VCF 9.0 fleet latency threshold: 100 ms RTT. Site A (90 ms) → Within threshold → Can join the existing fleet as a new instance. Site B (120 ms) → Exceeds threshold → Requires a separate fleet.

Selected Answer: B

Site A is inside the 100ms latency threshold for instances in a fleet. Site B is over the 100ms threshold; therefore, a new fleet should be deployed for the site.
