What-If Modeling can only be done on either Cluster or Hosts level. You are given three ways to view the trend and plan the capacity accordingly.
The what-if scenario will take these virtual machines into consideration when calculating the overall resource demand.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Host and Cluster Optimization reports is helpful when right-sizing the virtual machines , clusters and hosts, it will not be particularly helpful to understand how adding more hosts or increasing resources will address the growing resource requirements of virtual machines.
C: The Density badge is measures your virtual infrastructure consolidation ratios to ensure that you are maximizing your virtual infrastructure investment.
The Reclaimable Waste badge indicates what resources you can get back from your virtual infrastructure.
D: The Optimization report will help with right-sizing the virtual machines and not be particularly helpful to understand how adding more hosts or increasing resources will address the growing resource requirements of virtual machines.
