Actual exam question from VMware's 3V0-42.20

Question #: 11
Topic #: 1

An architect is helping an organization with the Physical Design of an NSX-T Data Center solution.
This information was gathered during a workshop:
✑ Any proposed solution must provide low latency.
✑ Any proposed solution must provide high throughput.
✑ Customer is running stock trading applications.
Which two selections should the architect recommend to meet high-performance workload requirements? (Choose two.)

A. Leverage ESXi as the compute host.
B. Use LACP for all uplink profiles.
C. Leverage KVM as the compute host.
D. Enable enhanced data path mode on the N-VDS.
E. Enable latency sensitivity mode on the N-VDS.

A & D are correct. N-VDS and VDS support the following modes: Standard: Provide forwarding capabilities on both KVM and ESX transport nodes and does not require a specialized hardware. Enhanced Datapath: Available for ESXi transport nodes only and provide Enhanced Network Stack (ENS) targeted for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) applications that require a faster performance data path.

Per AI: Considering the nature of stock trading applications, where low latency is crucial, the architect might prioritize options B and D to address the high-throughput and low-latency requirements. The choice between ESXi and KVM (Options A and C) would depend on other organizational factors and preferences. Option E could also be considered if further optimization for latency sensitivity is needed.

Selected Answer: AD

A. Leverage ESXi as the compute host. ESXi is a VMware hypervisor known for its performance capabilities and is often chosen for low-latency, high-throughput applications. D. Enable enhanced data path mode on the N-VDS. Enhanced data path mode is designed to improve performance and reduce latency, making it suitable for high-performance workloads.

Using ESXi isn't a selection whereas LACP and Enhanced Datapath are configuration selection. Since Enhanced Datapath can only be used with ESXi, it is assumed if you select D, you are running ESXi already.
