1Z0-997-25 Question 126
Select 2A financial services company wants to extend their existing VMware vSphere 7 environment into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to handle seasonal increases in workloads. They plan to use Oracle Cloud VMware Solution (OCVS) while minimizing downtime and avoiding IP address changes for critical applications. Which two design strategies should they implement to achieve a seamless hybrid solution?
- A
Leverage VMware HCX to extend on-premises networks to the cloud and enable vMotion migrations
- B
Use exclusively Internet-based communication for production traffic to reduce complexity
- C
Establish a private connection via Oracle FastConnect or an IPSec VPN to ensure secure, low-latency network traffic
- D
Use non-overlapping IP ranges in the cloud and on-premises to prevent any shared network segments
- E
Individually re-deploy each on-premises ESXi host in the cloud without using HCX
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To design a functional hybrid cloud with Oracle Cloud VMware Solution, you need seamless connectivity and network integration. VMware HCX extends on-premises networks, enabling vMotion and replication without changing IP addresses. Secure, low-latency connections using FastConnect or IPSec VPN are essential for production workloads. For more information, consult the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution and VMware HCX documentation on the Oracle Help Center.
- A. Correct.
Correct. VMware HCX is specifically designed to extend on-premises networks into Oracle Cloud VMware Solution and facilitate vMotion migrations with minimal downtime. This approach avoids reconfiguring IP addresses.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Production traffic that depends on stable and secure connectivity can be jeopardized if you rely solely on Internet-based communication. This method can introduce latency and potential security risks.
- C. Correct.
Correct. FastConnect or IPSec VPN provides secure, low-latency connectivity between on-premises and OCVS. This ensures reliable performance and improves data integrity for production workloads.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While non-overlapping IP addresses are generally recommended, it does not solve the requirement for extending networks to maintain the same IP addresses across on-premises and cloud. Network extension is crucial for seamless migration.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Re-deploying ESXi hosts manually in OCVS is time-consuming, prone to errors, and does not preserve existing configurations or IP addresses. HCX is the supported and more efficient method for workload migration.
