2V0-17.25 Sample Questions

  1. Q1

    A cloud architect is designing a private cloud solution using VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 to adhere to NIST cloud characteristics. The organization requires a capability where computing resources can be provisioned automatically without human intervention from the service provider side.

    Which VCF 9.0 component primarily satisfies this specific NIST characteristic?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    On-demand self-service is a key NIST cloud characteristic. VCF Automation provides the self-service portal and orchestration engine that allows users to provision resources automatically without IT intervention, directly aligning with this requirement.

  2. Q2

    An organization is adopting a 'Zero Trust' security model for their VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 infrastructure. They need to implement micro-segmentation to restrict East-West traffic between application tiers within the same Workload Domain.

    Which architectural component facilitates this requirement?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: A

    The NSX Distributed Firewall (DFW) is the core component for implementing Zero Trust via micro-segmentation in VCF. It enforces security policies at the vNIC level of every virtual machine, controlling East-West traffic flow within the data center.

  3. Q3

    True or False: In VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0, the concept of a 'Fleet' allows for the centralized management of multiple VCF instances, but each instance must still maintain its own completely isolated lifecycle management lifecycle without any central orchestration.

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    This statement is False. VCF 9.0 Fleet architecture is designed specifically to provide centralized lifecycle management and operations across multiple VCF instances, moving away from isolated management silos.

  4. Q4

    Which VCF 9.0 service provides a unified entry point for authentication across the entire VCF Fleet, supporting protocols like OIDC and SAML to integrate with external identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    The VCF Identity Broker is the specific service in VCF 9.0 responsible for centralized authentication and federation with external Identity Providers (IdPs) like Entra ID or Okta, facilitating Single Sign-On across the fleet.

  5. Q5

    A customer is planning to deploy VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 using vSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA).

    What is a mandatory hardware requirement for the vSAN ESA storage devices in the ReadyNodes?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    vSAN ESA requires NVMe drives for all storage devices. It moves away from the disk groups concept (cache/capacity tiers) to a single tier architecture that leverages the high performance of NVMe.

  6. Q6

    During the design of a VCF 9.0 environment, an architect must determine the correct placement of the NSX Edge Nodes.

    Which cluster type is the recommended location for deploying NSX Edge Nodes to support North-South traffic for the Workload Domains?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: A

    While Edges can be placed in the Management Domain (shared), the recommended best practice for performance, isolation, and scalability in VCF 9.0, especially for high-traffic environments, is to deploy them in a dedicated Edge Cluster (or Shared Edge/Compute cluster) within the Workload Domain they serve.

  7. Q7

    An administrator is preparing to deploy a new Workload Domain in VCF 9.0. The requirement is to use a pre-existing external NFS storage array as the principal storage for the new domain's cluster.

    Which action must be taken to support this configuration?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: A

    VCF supports NFS, vSAN, and vVols as principal storage for Workload Domains. The administrator must select 'NFS' in the wizard and provide the necessary mount details. The NFS storage must be accessible by all hosts prior to commissioning.

  8. Q8Multiple answers

    A VCF administrator needs to patch the ESXi hosts in a specific Workload Domain to a newer version using SDDC Manager. The environment uses vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) images.

    Which two components are typically included in the vLCM image definition used by SDDC Manager for this update? (Select TWO)

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answers: A, B

    The ESXi Base Image is the foundational component of a vLCM image, defining the core hypervisor version.

    Vendor Add-ons contain drivers and software specific to the hardware vendor (e.g., Dell, HPE), which are combined with the base image in vLCM to ensure hardware compatibility.
