A county-run municipal hospital needs a new clinic subnet this week and cannot wait for a forklift of extra switches. Which SDDC concept covers adding that capacity from the existing pool?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Elasticity is the hospital adding a wing from leftover rooms, not waiting on a truck of new walls. The SDDC already pooled hosts and overlay capacity. A clinic subnet should come from that pool, not from a forklift of extra switches.
Full Explanation
Elastic virtual capacity means adding network and compute from pooled SDDC resources without a physical forklift for each clinic subnet. A county-run municipal hospital needing a clinic subnet this week should consume overlay and compute pool capacity on the prepared fabric. Requiring a new physical switch stack by forklift before any overlay can exist denies elasticity. Elasticity is not limited to vSAN disk groups. Horizon instant clones do not supply clinic subnets in place of NSX. Exam caveat: elasticity assumes spare pool capacity and Edge/host headroom; software speed does not create free hardware that was never procured. Operational check: provision the clinic segment and place a test workload from existing cluster capacity within the week without a switch forklift ticket. Keep municipal naming and change tickets aligned with the software objects so civic audits can trace intent. Prefer verifying with a non-production agency workload before promoting the same pattern to life-safety systems. Record realization state and underlay health in the runbook used by on-call city operators. Keep municipal naming and change tickets aligned with the software objects so civic audits can trace intent.
