VCP-VMC 2024 Question 114
Select 3An organization is planning to migrate its on-premises workloads to VMware Cloud on AWS. The IT team needs to ensure the solution meets high availability requirements and minimizes downtime during the migration process. Which design considerations should the IT team prioritize during the planning phase?
- A
Ensure the VMware Hybrid Cloud Extension (HCX) is configured for live migration of workloads.
- B
Design a stretched cluster across multiple availability zones for failover capabilities.
- C
Reduce the number of ESXi hosts in the cluster to minimize cost.
- D
Plan for sufficient network bandwidth between the on-premises data center and VMware Cloud on AWS.
- E
Use only a single management cluster to simplify deployment complexity.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To meet high availability requirements and minimize downtime during migration, the IT team should configure VMware HCX for live migration, design a stretched cluster for redundancy, and ensure adequate network bandwidth between the on-premises data center and VMware Cloud on AWS. Reducing cluster size or using a single management cluster contradicts the goal of ensuring high availability and resilience.
- A. Correct.
Correct. VMware HCX is a critical tool for live migration of workloads to VMware Cloud on AWS, ensuring minimal downtime and seamless migration.
- B. Correct.
Correct. A stretched cluster design across multiple availability zones provides high availability and failover capabilities, meeting the organization's requirements.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Reducing the number of ESXi hosts may lower costs, but it can compromise the cluster's ability to support high availability and workload demands.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Sufficient network bandwidth is essential to ensure smooth data transfer and minimize downtime during workload migration.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Relying on a single management cluster simplifies deployment but introduces a single point of failure, which is not ideal for high availability scenarios.
