5V0-31.23 Exam Dumps : VMware Cloud Foundation Deployment Specialist

When deploying a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment, the VMware Cloud Builder Virtual Appliance must be deployed on an ESXi host, and it can be placed on either an ESXi host designated for the Management Domain or on a separate ESXi host that is not yet assigned to any specific domain. These options allow for flexibility in the initial deployment process and ensure the Cloud Builder appliance is hosted within a compatible and stable environment.

Other options, such as deploying Cloud Builder on systems running non-ESXi platforms like VMware Workstation, VMware Fusion, or other operating systems (e.g., Windows or Red Hat Enterprise Linux), are not supported for deploying Cloud Builder in VCF.

vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM)in VMware Cloud Foundation is primarily responsible forupdating and managing the lifecycle of ESXi hostsin a standardized manner. It allows administrators to define update baselines and images for the ESXi hosts in workload domains.

vCenter ServerandNSX Managerare generally managed bySDDC Managerwithin VCF, not directly by vLCM.

SDDC Manageritself also has its own update mechanism separate from vLCM.

When enabling Workload Management on a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Workload Domain, the Supervisor control plane VMs are assigned floating IP addresses on the management network. This network setup ensures that the control plane can communicate effectively within the management infrastructure and allows centralized management and orchestration of Kubernetes workloads.
