2V0-32.24 Question 213
Select 3A company is planning to migrate their on-premises workloads to a VMware Cloud on AWS environment. As part of the cost assessment, they need to evaluate resource consumption and understand the factors impacting the total cost. Which of the following factors should be considered when assessing the cost of a managed VMware Cloud environment?
- A
The number of hosts required to support the workloads
- B
The cost of data egress from VMware Cloud to external systems
- C
The version of VMware vSphere being used in the managed environment
- D
The operational overhead of manually managing the VMware Cloud environment
- E
The cost of additional VMware services such as HCX (Hybrid Cloud Extension)
- F
The latency between the on-premises data center and the VMware Cloud environment
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, E
Explanation
When assessing the cost of a managed VMware Cloud environment, it is critical to consider factors such as the number of hosts for workload support, data egress fees, and any additional VMware services that may be required. These directly contribute to the overall cost model. Factors like operational overhead and latency are relevant to operational planning but do not directly impact the financial cost assessment.
- A. Correct.
Correct: The number of hosts directly impacts the cost of the VMware Cloud environment, as you are billed based on host consumption.
- B. Correct.
Correct: Data egress costs are an important factor in cloud cost assessments, as transferring data out of the VMware Cloud incurs additional charges.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: The version of VMware vSphere being used typically does not impact the cost of a managed VMware Cloud environment, as the cost is primarily based on resource consumption and services used.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Managed VMware Cloud environments reduce operational overhead, but this does not directly factor into the cost model, which centers on resources and additional services.
- E. Correct.
Correct: Additional VMware services, such as HCX, are often billed separately and must be factored into the total cost assessment.
- F. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While latency is important for performance considerations, it does not directly influence the cost of the managed VMware Cloud environment.
