You are designing a vSphere 7.x environment for a financial institution that requires strict resource isolation for its 'High Frequency Trading' (HFT) workloads. These VMs require exclusive access to physical CPU cores to minimize latency.
Which combination of settings must you configure to satisfy this requirement? (Select TWO)
Answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Setting Latency Sensitivity to 'High' requires the VM to have a 100% CPU memory reservation. This setting advises the ESXi scheduler to bypass the virtualization layer's CPU scheduling overhead and give the VM exclusive access to the physical core.
For Latency Sensitivity 'High' to function effectively and grant exclusive core access, the virtual machine must have a 100% CPU reservation configured.
