Question 1
IntermediateDay 2 Tasks in VCF Operations · Configure Unified Cloud Proxies or Collector Groups
A cloud architect is designing a monitoring solution for a multi-site VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 deployment. The primary data center is in New York, with remote branch offices in London and Tokyo. The London office has 2,000 VMs and stable bandwidth, while Tokyo has 4,000 VMs and limited bandwidth. The architect needs to ensure data collection is resilient and minimizes WAN traffic for the Tokyo site.
Which architectural component should be deployed in Tokyo?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
In VCF Operations 9.0, Cloud Proxies are the preferred method for remote data collection over legacy Remote Collectors. Cloud Proxies support data persistence during network outages (resilience) and compress data before transmission, which is critical for the Tokyo site's limited bandwidth. Remote collectors are deprecated in newer versions.
