- The infrastructure components of the VCF solution must have a
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of 4 business hours.
In the context provided, what does the RTO determine?
- A. The maximum tolerable amount of time allowed before an application/service should be recovered to a usable state

- A. Use the embedded VCF Identity Broker model.
- B. Deploy a dedicated VCF Identity Broker for each VCF instance within a VCF Fleet.
- C. Use the external VCF Identity Broker model.
