An architect is responsible for designing a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based Private Cloud
solution.
During the requirements gathering workshop with key customer stakeholders, the following information
was captured:
The solution must support a yearly workload growth of up to 10%.
When creating the design document, which design quality should be used to classify the stated
requirements?
Answer
- A. Performance Correct
- B. Availability
- C. Manageability
- D. Security
Explanation
The requirement specifying "yearly workload growth of up to 10%" relates directly to the system's abilityto handle increased demand over time, which falls under the design quality of Performance.
Performance in VMware Cloud Foundation design includes considerations for scalability and the ability
to sustain projected growth. This requirement addresses the system’s capacity to manage future
workload expansion without degradation in service levels.
