• PROD and DEV should be administratively separated.

• PROD will use two different hardware server types, and DEV will only use one hardware server type.

• The VCF infrastructure design should be flexible and scalable as much as possible

Answer: D

Explanation:

According to the VMware documentation, each NSX-T Local Manager is associated with a vCenter Server, and each NSX-T Local Manager can manage up to three vCenters. In a VCF deployment with two environments (PROD and DEV) and two different hardware server types in PROD, there would be a total of three vCenter Servers. Therefore, a total of three NSX-T Local Managers would be provisioned to manage the three vCenter Servers.
