Key Concepts
Review these important points before starting the quiz
Supervisor Cluster integrates Kubernetes: Direct integration into vSphere and VCF lifecycle, security, operations
Kubernetes as infrastructure capability: Consumed as a service alongside VMs, governed like compute/storage/networking
Central identity integration: Consistent authentication and authorization across VMs and containers via vSphere SSO
NSX provides unified networking: Consistent networking and security for both VMs and containers
Zero-trust microsegmentation for containers: Enforces least privilege and limits lateral movement by default
Supervisor inherits VCF governance: Unified lifecycle, security, and operations control
Policy-driven persistent storage: Storage policies define resilience, performance, and portability for stateful workloads
Platform-managed services with RBAC: Enables controlled self-service while maintaining governance
Network stability is critical: Service discovery, security, and traffic flow depend on stable network fabric
Containers are first-class citizens: Integrated into private cloud operating model, not isolated or independent
Supervisor vs unmanaged clusters: Supervisor provides lifecycle integration, unmanaged clusters do not
Identity fragmentation is a risk: Separate identity systems per platform fragment governance
Storage policies enable portability: Define characteristics that follow workloads across infrastructure
VCF positions Kubernetes as consumption model: Not a replacement for VMs, but another way to consume infrastructure
