Which VCF architecture was suggested for this customer?

A customer purchased six new HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 hosts and is interested in deploying a VCF infrastructure that will coexist with the current VMware on AWS cloud DR solution in a hybrid model.

The architect suggests the VCF architecture that will help the customer run the workloads while offering workload isolation.

Which VCF architecture was suggested for this customer?
A . node management domain and 3-node VI workload domain in a VCF standard model, while leveraging resource pools
B . 3-node management domain and 3-node VI workload domain in a VCF standard model
C . node management/workload domain in a VCF consolidated model, while leveraging resource pools
D . node management/workload domain in a VCF consolidated model

Answer: B

Explanation:

This is because according to VMware documentation45, VCF supports two architecture models – standard and consolidated. The standard architecture model separates management workloads and user workloads into different domains, while the consolidated architecture model combines them into one domain. For a hybrid model that coexists with VMware on AWS cloud DR solution, the standard architecture model is recommended as it provides workload isolation and mobility across VCF instances6. The minimum requirement for creating a management domain or a VI workload domain is three hosts45.
