2V0-13.25 Exam Dumps : VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Architect

Constraints are design limitations that cannot be changed and must be worked around.

B (no funding for new storage, so existing must be used) is a clear constraint, as it restricts the architect from proposing new storage hardware.

A (out of maintenance) represents a risk (unsupported hardware may fail).

C and D are requirements, not constraints, because they describe desired functionality of the solution.

Thus, the correct constraint is that existing storage must be used due to funding limitations.

Due to the explicit constraint that no internet access is permitted, the VCF Installer cannot connect to an online depot. Instead, the architect must use the offline depot model, where binaries are downloaded externally and made accessible locally within the VCF environment (e.g., using a local web server).

This setup aligns with VMware's "air-gapped" deployment guidance for VCF environments with strict security postures.

Deploying two VCF Instances allows isolation between environments. One instance can serve as development/test and the other as production.

This separation enables patch/upgrade validation without impacting production. VCF architecture supports managing multiple VCF instances in a Fleet for centralized visibility and policy enforcement.

VMware explicitly recommends separating environments for lifecycle testing in environments with strict change control policies.
