A customer needs to deploy Kubernetes-based workloads in a newly created VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) workload domain. Which two prerequisites must…

To deploy Kubernetes-based workloads via VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Automation, two key prerequisites are necessary. First, the target VCF workload domain must have the Supervisor enabled, which transforms the vSphere cluster into a platform for running Kubernetes workloads natively. Second, within VCF Automation (formerly vRealize Automation), a "Region" must be configured. This Region acts as a cloud provider endpoint, mapping to the vCenter Server of the workload domain and defining placement policies and resource limits for deployments. These two steps connect the automation platform to the Kubernetes-capable infrastructure.

A. VMware Kubernetes Service (VKS) is a separate cloud offering and is not activated within the VCF Management domain for this purpose.

B. The Supervisor is enabled on workload domains where applications run, not typically on the management domain for this use case.

C. VMware NSX Federation is for multi-site or multi-region deployments and is not a prerequisite for a single workload domain setup.

1. VMware Cloud Foundation Documentation

"Enable Workload Management on a vSphere Cluster in a Workload Domain". This guide details the process of activating the Supervisor on a workload domain cluster

a mandatory step before it can host Tanzu Kubernetes Grid clusters.

2. VMware vRealize Automation Documentation

"Add a vCenter Server cloud account in Cloud Assembly". This document explains that to use a vSphere endpoint

you must configure a cloud account and associate it with a data center and a cloud zone (Region)

making it available for deployments.
