An architect is working with an organization on the creation of a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Private Cloud. The organization has provided the following business objectives they wish to achieve with the new platform:
Reduce the operating costs associated with running separate areas of hosting capacity and separate/duplicate systems.
Reduce the risks, time and effort associated with managing platforms that are out of vendor support.
Reduce the operating costs associated with native public cloud usage.
Reduce the risks associated with having incomplete documentation for application inventory and dependency mappings.
They have grouped these business objectives into a set of use cases:
Migration - Provide a platform that supports the migration of virtualized workloads from existing platforms.
Containerization - Provide a platform that supports the deployment of containerized workloads.
Centralization and Consolidation - Provide a central private cloud platform accessible to all relevant areas of the business.
When considering these objectives and use cases, what should the architect include in the design documentation as a part of the Conceptual Model?

  • A. A requirement that the solution will provide support for provisioning and managing workloads based on virtualization and containerization technologies.
  • B. A constraint that the solution must be accessible via a HTTPS GUI to all relevant areas of the business.
  • C. A risk that the solution may not support the migration of containerized workloads.
  • D. An assumption that a complete mapping of application dependencies is not available.
