As a result of the review, which recommendation should the architect make regarding the design of this platform?

A customer requests a review of its current vSphere platform design.

The following information is noted:

There are three different workload profiles for the virtual machines:

– Tier-1 virtual machines operate resource-intensive applications and require dedicated allocations for CPU and RAM.

– Tier-2 virtual machines operate internet-facing applications and require access to externally facing networks.

– Tier-3 virtual machines operate platform management tools such as vCenter Server and have different lifecycle management requirements.

– Tier-1, Tier-2 and Tier-3 virtual machines are all hosted on a single large vSphere cluster.

– The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has raised concerns that hosting externally facing applications alongside management tools does not meet internal compliance standards.

– The Operations team has raised concerns about Tier-1 virtual machines negatively impacting the performance of vCenter Server.

– The Operations lead has stated that management changes have consistently been rejected by application teams.

As a result of the review, which recommendation should the architect make regarding the design of this platform?
A . Separate Tier-1, Tier-2 and Tier-3 virtual machines using dedicated distributed virtual switches (DVS)
B . Separate Tier-2 virtual machines onto a dedicated cluster
C . Separate Tier-1, Tier-2 and Tier-3 virtual machines onto dedicated clusters
D . Separate Tier-1, Tier-2 and Tier-3 virtual machines using resource pools and shares
