VCP-VMC 2024 Question 1
Single answerYou are designing a hybrid cloud solution for a company that wants to extend their on-premises VMware infrastructure to VMware Cloud on AWS. The company has a strict requirement for low-latency connectivity between their on-premises data center and VMware Cloud on AWS. Which connectivity option would best meet this requirement?
- A
VMware Transit Connect
- B
Direct Connect
- C
VPN over the Internet
- D
SD-WAN with VMware Cloud Gateway
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The best option for low-latency connectivity between an on-premises data center and VMware Cloud on AWS is Direct Connect. This service provides a dedicated physical connection between the on-premises environment and AWS, ensuring predictable, high-performance, and low-latency network communication. While other options such as VPN or SD-WAN may offer connectivity, they do not meet the strict low-latency requirements specified in the scenario.
- A. Incorrect.
VMware Transit Connect is used for connecting multiple SDDCs or enabling high-bandwidth connections among VMware Cloud on AWS environments, but it is not designed specifically for low-latency connectivity between on-premises and cloud environments.
- B. Correct.
Direct Connect provides a dedicated, low-latency, and high-bandwidth connection between the on-premises data center and VMware Cloud on AWS, making it the best option for this scenario.
- C. Incorrect.
VPN over the Internet is a cost-effective solution but can suffer from unpredictable latency and bandwidth issues, making it unsuitable for low-latency requirements.
- D. Incorrect.
SD-WAN with VMware Cloud Gateway can optimize WAN traffic and provide efficient connectivity, but it is not designed to guarantee the low-latency performance required in this scenario.
