Exam 2V0-21.23 topic 1 question 22 discussion

C: VCF is not SaaS, so it cannot be the answer. VCF includes the management domain and multiple workload domains. While VCF does use LCM to manage vCenter lifecycle, it is on-prem only (for now) and is not SaaS based. That only leave vSphere+. See the video in this link about upgrading remote vCenters managed by vSphere+. https://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/vsphere-plus.html

VCF+ is the next cloud-connected SaaS product offering, which builds on vSphere+ and vSAN+. VCF+ delivers cloud connectivity to centralize management and a new consumption-based OPEX model to consume VMware Cloud services. The following components are included in VCF+: vSphere+ vSAN+ NSX (term license) SDDC Manager Aria Universal Suite (formerly vRealize Cloud Universal aka vRCU) Tanzu Standard vCenter (included as part of vSphere+)

VMware Cloud Foundation is Iaas, not Saas (https://blogs.vmware.com/cloud-foundation/2023/06/01/announcing-vmware-cloud-foundation-5-0/). Therefor answer C. VMware vSphere+, which is Saas (https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2022/12/introducing-vmware-vsphere-standard-edition.html)

vSphere Foundation

vSphere+ of course : "Update an entire fleet of ESXi hosts in one operation, across multiple vCenters and clusters, and centrally monitor progress from the Cloud Console" Source : https://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/vsphere-plus.html#features

I vote for C

C: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere+/services/vsphereplus-getting-started/GUID-7FE4A507-B528-4359-A4B0-943C5E4E084D.html

VCF is a SDDC solution, not SaaS solution. Answer is C

yeaa it's C vSphere+ is a SaaS Solution

The key here is the Saas requirement , so it's B , without it i would follow Michael24

C VMware vSphere+ vSphere+ is the multi-cloud workload platform that brings the benefits of cloud to onpremises workloads. vSphere+ combines industry-leading virtualization technology, an enterprise-ready Kubernetes environment, and high-value cloud services to transform existing on-prem deployments into SaaS-enabled infrastructure that centralizes management, supercharges productivity, and accelerates innovation. With vSphere+, IT admins and developers can easily build, run, manage, protect, and secure their traditional and next-gen applications. vSphere+ can be purchased through a flexible subscription plan that better aligns with the business. https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/products/vsphere/vmware-vsphere-pricing-whitepaper.pdf

C - vSphere+ is the SaaS offering and vSphere+ specifically mentions "Entire vCenter lifecycle management is simplified, making it easy to detect and remediate configuration drift." in the product documentation

As per BARD & CHATGPT,as multiple vCenter Server instances in a single, SaaS-based solution, then VMware Cloud Foundation is a good option to consider.

D is the right answer

C is the ans >> https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Aria-Operations/SaaS/Configuring-Operations/GUID-640AD750-301E-4D36-8293-1BFEB67E2600.html

With VMware Cloud Foundation, administrators can centrally manage and automate the deployment, configuration, patching, and upgrading of multiple vCenter Server instances. This helps drive operational efficiency by streamlining and simplifying the management of vCenter Server environments, reducing manual effort, and improving overall consistency and scalability.
