If attempting to enable Fault Tolerance on a virtual machine with 4 vCPUs, what is the minimum licensed edition that supports this configuration?

Enterprise
Enterprise Plus
Standard
Essentials Plus

The correct answer is: Enterprise

To enable Fault Tolerance (FT) on a virtual machine, certain licensing levels are required because FT is considered an advanced feature within VMware environments. In this case, the minimum licensed edition that supports running Fault Tolerance on a virtual machine with 4 virtual CPUs is the Enterprise edition. The Enterprise edition provides support for various advanced features, including Fault Tolerance, with the capability to protect virtual machines in a high-availability scenario. This feature is integral for maintaining continuous operations and minimizing downtime in a virtualized infrastructure, especially for critical workloads. In contrast, the other editions such as Standard and Essentials Plus do not support the Fault Tolerance feature for configurations with multiple vCPUs due to limitations in their functionality. Enterprise Plus, while also supporting FT, is more advanced and isn't necessary for this requirement since the question specifically asks for the minimum licensing edition capable of meeting the criteria.
