Q: 3
An architect is responsible for designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based private cloud for a
customer. The architect noted the following requirements during a design workshop:
Co-locate application workloads with VCF management component workloads within the same
vSphere cluster.
Shared storage data is always available and 100% current in the event of a single site outage.
Have two sites available no more than 10 miles apart (10ms latency) connected with high-speed
network technology to host their virtual infrastructure.
Protect against outages of a single site designated as an availability zone.
Which two storage technologies could meet the stated requirements? (Choose two.)

Probably D and E for this. vSAN supports stretched clusters with synchronous writes and vVols can do it if the backend array supports sync replication. C is tempting but FC alone doesn't guarantee zero RPO or site-level protection. Let me know if you think otherwise.
D and E. Only vSAN and vVols with replication meet the always-available, zero RPO stretched cluster setup across two sites.
I get why C looks tempting, but only D and E can handle synchronous replication for that active-active site setup.
D and E imo. Saw a similar question in exam reports, vSAN and vVols with array-based replication fit these requirements.
