Key Concepts
Review these important points before starting the quiz
Istio Service Mesh integrates with Supervisor to provide advanced microservices networking, including traffic management, security, and observability for containerized workloads.
vSAN File Services enables NFS file shares directly from vSAN storage, requiring minimum 4 hosts and deploying dedicated file service VMs with FTT=1 protection.
NSX Service Insertion redirects traffic to third-party security appliances for advanced threat detection without requiring inline physical appliances.
Cross-vCenter vMotion enables live VM migration between different vCenter instances, supporting migration from legacy environments to VCF without downtime.
NSX Intelligence provides network flow visualization and analytics by analyzing East-West traffic patterns, helping optimize micro-segmentation policies.
FIPS 140-2 compliance must be enabled on SDDC Manager during initial deployment, which then orchestrates FIPS configuration across all VCF components.
vSAN Stretched Clusters support maximum 5ms RTT latency between data sites for synchronous replication and site-level disaster recovery.
VCF Terraform Provider enables declarative infrastructure-as-code management, allowing teams to define desired state and automate lifecycle operations.
Site Recovery Manager (SRM) provides automated disaster recovery orchestration with failover/failback workflows and recovery plan testing for VCF environments.
NSX Global Manager enables centralized policy management across multiple NSX Manager instances in geographically distributed VCF deployments.
NSX Advanced Load Balancer (Avi) provides enterprise-grade Layer 4-7 load balancing with SSL offload, content switching, and application analytics.
SDDC Manager Lifecycle Management orchestrates coordinated upgrades across all VCF components with dependency ordering and rollback capabilities.
NSX VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) provides complete network isolation for multi-tenant environments with dedicated routing and security policies.
vSAN Performance Service collects real-time performance metrics and identifies bottlenecks at cluster, host, and VM levels for troubleshooting.
GitOps workflows leverage VCF REST APIs from CI/CD pipelines to apply configurations from Git repositories with version control and peer review.
