In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 5.2, isolated domains within a single NSX management pane
(i.e., a single NSX Manager cluster) require a solution that provides logical isolation without
additional management overhead. Option A, "An NSX VPC" (Virtual Private Cloud), is the correct
choice as it enables tenant-specific isolated networking environments within a single NSX instance,
managed via the same NSX Manager. Introduced in NSX-T 3.2 (supported in VCF 5.2), NSX VPCs allow
segmentation with dedicated routing, security policies, and resource allocation, meeting the
isolation requirement efficiently. Option B, "A Shared NSX Instance," implies no isolation,
contradicting the requirement. Option C, "NSX Federation," supports multi-site management with
multiple NSX Managers, exceeding the single-pane constraint. Option D, "A 1:1 NSX Instance,"
suggests a dedicated NSX Manager per domain, also violating the constraint. NSX VPC is explicitly
designed for this use case in VCF.
