VMware VCAP-DCV Design 2024 3V0-21.23 Question # 6 Topic 1 Discussion

The goal here is to ensure that, in the event of a host failure, the workloads are restarted in the correct order based on their dependencies:

Workload 3 (Identity Broker) is required by both Application A and Application B as a dependency. It needs to be set to High Restart Priority, ensuring that it is restarted before the other dependent workloads.

Workload 4 (Reporting Tool) is required by Application B and Application C, so it should be set to High Restart Priority to ensure it is available before the other dependent workloads (like Workload 5).

Workload 5 (Management Tool) is required by Application C and should have a Medium Restart Priority, meaning it will be restarted after Workload 4.

Workloads 1 and 2 (Self-Service Portal and Database) have Low Restart Priority because they are dependent on Workload 3 (and Workload 4), but they do not have further critical dependencies after Workload 3, so they should be restarted last in the event of a failure.

This setup ensures that all applications can be recovered properly in the event of a host failure, with each workload restarting in the correct order to maintain the application dependencies.
