Explanation:
The VCF Health feature “provides a central location for monitoring the health of your environment,” including the ability to track “vCenter Server instances,” “ESXi hosts,” and “NSX deployments.” Health monitoring includes connectivity, configuration, and critical services status, surfacing alerts for remediation. The documentation’s scope statements make clear that VCF Health targets the infrastructure components―vCenter, ESXi, and NSX―rather than the VCF Operations applications themselves (for example, Fleet Management or Logs). Therefore, the correct monitored components are ESX hosts, vCenter Server, and NSX.

Explanation:
The VCF 9.0 Logging and Auditing Guide explains that audit information―including user logins, configuration changes, and API requests―is collected and made searchable through VCF Operations for Logs. The extract states:
“VCF Operations for Logs provides centralized log aggregation and auditing for all VCF services, including audit trails of logins and configuration changes.”
Option A (audit logs per instance) is unnecessary because auditing is centralized. Option C (Enable Audit Events) is not a standalone step; it is a capability surfaced through Logs. Option D (Event logs in vCenter) covers only vCenter, not fleet-wide audit trails. Therefore, the correct step is to integrate VCF Operations for Logs.

Explanation:
The vSAN ESA documentation in VCF 9.0 explains that auto-policy management dynamically selects the most efficient data placement policy based on cluster size. For RAID-6 (erasure coding with double parity), the minimum required host count is 6. The docs state: “RAID-6 (Erasure Coding with FTT=2) requires a minimum of six hosts in a vSAN ESA cluster. This
ensures that data and parity components can be distributed across unique failure domains.”
With fewer than six hosts, RAID-6 cannot be enforced and auto-policy management will fall back to
RAID-1 mirroring. RAID-6 in vSAN ESA provides higher storage efficiency but comes with stricter host
count requirements. Options 2 and 4 are far below requirements, while 8 provides more redundancy
but is not the minimum. Therefore, the correct minimum number of hosts for RAID-6 with ESA is 6.

Explanation:
Velero is an open-source Kubernetes backup and restore solution integrated into VMware Cloud Foundation for Kubernetes management. The VCF 9.0 Kubernetes Services Documentation describes it as:
“Velero provides backup, recovery, and migration of Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes.”
Key functionality includes:
Backup and restore of Kubernetes objects such as deployments, services, and namespaces.
Data protection for persistent volumes via storage snapshots.
Migration capabilities across clusters.
Analysis of incorrect options:
Publishing DNS records (A) is handled by CoreDNS or external DNS integrations, not Velero. Monitoring cluster services (B) is the role of Kubernetes health checks and observability tools like Prometheus, not Velero.
Collecting logs and data (C) is done by logging stacks such as Fluent Bit or VCF Operations for Logs.
Therefore, Velero’s primary role is backup and restore of Kubernetes clusters.

Explanation:
The VCF 9.0 Resource Policy Guide describes IaaS Resource Policies as mechanisms to enforce deployment rules for Supervisor-based Kubernetes clusters.
For the production project, only Kubernetes resources are allowed, so administrators must disallow VM deployments (A).
To tolerate a single control plane node failure, production clusters should use multi-control-plane node templates, ensuring availability (B).
In the development project, resources should be minimized, so a single-control-plane node policy is
enforced (D), which reduces overhead.
Incorrect options:
Organization-wide policies (C and F) would apply to both projects, which is not desired since dev and prod have different requirements.
Enforcing single-control-plane nodes in production (E) contradicts the requirement for failure tolerance.
Thus, the correct approach is: Disallow VMs in production, enforce multi-control-plane clusters in production, and enforce single-control-plane clusters in development.
