Correct answer: A
Explanation
Cisco SD-WAN Cloud OnRamp for IaaS provides a seamless way to connect workloads hosted in cloud platforms like AWS and Azure to the SD-WAN fabric. This feature simplifies cloud connectivity while ensuring secure and optimized application performance. It is managed via the vManage controller, making it the correct choice in this scenario.
- A. Correct.
vManage Cloud OnRamp for IaaS is designed to integrate IaaS workloads with the Cisco SD-WAN fabric, providing secure connectivity and centralized management.
- B. Incorrect.
vSmart Policy for Cloud Integration is incorrect because vSmart deals with centralized policy enforcement and does not directly handle IaaS integration.
- C. Incorrect.
Direct Internet Access (DIA) supports direct internet breakout from branch sites but does not provide specific integration for IaaS workloads into the SD-WAN fabric.
- D. Incorrect.
Secure Extensible Network (SEN) is not a specific feature of Cisco SD-WAN for integrating IaaS environments. It is a general term for the overall secure WAN architecture.
