An administrator is tasked with adding new capacity to an existing software-defined data center (SDDC).

• The SDDC currently hosts two vSphere clusters (ClusterA and ClusterB) with different CPU compatibilities.

• vSphere vMotion and vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) are currently in use in the SDDC.

• The new capacity will be implemented by provisioning four ESXi hosts running a new generation of Intel Skylake CPUs.

• All workload virtual machines (VMs) must support live migration to any cluster in the SDDC.
