VMware by Broadcom 2V0-13.25: VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Architect (VCP-VCF Architect)

Last checked November 10, 2026 against the official VMware by Broadcom exam page.

1. Question 1Section 1 - IT Architectures, Technologies, Standards

   A retail company's sponsor states that marketing must be able to launch a campaign within one business day instead of one week. How should this statement be classified?

   1. AA business requirement, because it states an outcome the organization needs to achieve
   2. BAn assumption, because marketing staff are expected to learn the new tools
   3. CA constraint, because it limits how much the project may spend in its first year
   4. DA technical requirement that fixes the hypervisor version to be used for the marketing workloads
   Show answer and explanationHide answer

   Correct answer: A

   The sentence states a business outcome (a faster campaign launch) without describing how the platform will be built, so it is a business requirement. The hypervisor option describes a technical solution, the training statement is an assumption, and the spending limit is a constraint.

2. Question 2Section 2 - VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Fundamentals

   A company with a small number of hosts wants a single-site pilot in which management components and tenant workloads run on the same hardware. Which VCF architecture option fits this best?

   1. AFederated architecture, with each tenant running its own independent management stack
   2. BStandard architecture, with a dedicated management domain and separate workload domains for tenants
   3. CStretched architecture, with management components spread evenly across two availability zones
   4. DConsolidated architecture, with management and workload components in a single domain
   Show answer and explanationHide answer

   Correct answer: D

   A consolidated architecture runs management and workload components in one domain, which suits a small footprint. A standard architecture needs a separate management domain, and the other two labels describe availability or tenancy patterns rather than VCF architecture options.

3. Question 3Section 3 - Plan and Design

   An architect has interviewed the CIO and the finance lead. The CIO wants faster provisioning of workloads and finance wants predictable chargeback. What should the architect do first to build the conceptual model?

   1. ASelect hardware models that match the vendor's reference architecture
   2. BCreate the physical rack elevation so that the budget can be checked early
   3. CTranslate each objective into measurable outcomes and identify the components that support them
   4. DStart configuring tenant networks and VM templates so business users can test the platform early in the project
   Show answer and explanationHide answer

   Correct answer: C

   A conceptual model starts from business objectives, so each objective is turned into a measurable outcome and linked to the components that deliver it. Selecting hardware, drawing racks or configuring networks jumps ahead to physical or logical design before the objectives are understood.

4. Question 4Section 1 - IT Architectures, Technologies, Standards

   Which description best distinguishes conceptual design from logical design in a VCF architecture?

   1. AConceptual design lists vendor product SKUs and rack elevations, while logical design lists hardware models and firmware levels
   2. BConceptual design shows high-level components and relationships, while logical design maps them to domains and networks
   3. CConceptual design is the final bill of materials, while logical design is an early sketch shown only to executive stakeholders
   4. DConceptual and logical designs are identical, and differ only in the diagram tool used to draw them
   Show answer and explanationHide answer

   Correct answer: B

   Conceptual design captures the high-level components and how they relate without technology detail, and logical design turns that into a technology-independent structure of domains and networks. The other options confuse the stages, for example by placing physical product details or procurement lists into the conceptual or logical stage.

5. Question 5Section 2 - VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Fundamentals

   A regulated business unit needs its own change windows and an administrative boundary that other tenants cannot reach. Which VCF construct best matches this need?

   1. AAn additional vSphere cluster added to the existing management domain alongside the platform components
   2. BA distributed port group that is restricted by VLAN tags
   3. CA separate workload domain with its own lifecycle and administrative boundary
   4. DA resource pool with higher CPU shares assigned to the business unit
   Show answer and explanationHide answer

   Correct answer: C

   A workload domain is a separately managed unit with its own lifecycle and boundary, which fits the need for independent change windows and isolation. Adding a cluster to the management domain, a VLAN-restricted port group, or a CPU share setting does not give the same lifecycle or administrative separation.
