VCP-VMC 2024 Question 113
Select 4An organization is planning to deploy VMware Cloud on AWS to extend their on-premises data center. They need to design the environment to ensure high availability and workload resiliency. Which considerations should the organization include during the planning and design phase?
- A
Select a VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC configuration with multiple availability zones (AZs).
- B
Ensure that the vSAN Storage Policy is configured for RAID-0 to maximize storage performance.
- C
Evaluate the placement of workloads to balance resource utilization across clusters in the SDDC.
- D
Configure VMware HCX for workload migration and disaster recovery planning.
- E
Enable Elastic DRS for automatic scaling of host capacity in response to demand.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D, E
Explanation
When planning and designing a VMware Cloud on AWS deployment, considerations such as high availability, workload resiliency, disaster recovery, and efficient resource utilization are critical. Leveraging features like multi-AZ configurations, workload placement strategies, VMware HCX, and Elastic DRS ensures that the environment can handle failures, scale effectively, and maintain consistent performance. Using RAID-0, while potentially improving performance, does not align with resiliency goals, making it an unsuitable choice in this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Selecting a VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC configuration with multiple availability zones ensures high availability and fault tolerance in the case of an AZ failure.
- B. Incorrect.
RAID-0 does not provide redundancy, making it unsuitable for a design focused on workload resiliency and high availability.
- C. Correct.
Balancing workload placement across clusters is essential to avoid resource contention and maintain consistent performance for critical applications.
- D. Correct.
VMware HCX facilitates workload migration and disaster recovery, which are critical for extending on-premises infrastructure and ensuring business continuity in a VMware Cloud environment.
- E. Correct.
Elastic DRS can dynamically add or remove hosts as demand fluctuates, helping maintain performance and availability under varying workloads.
