VCP-VMC 2024 Question 138
Single answerYour organization is deploying VMware Cloud on AWS, and you need to configure a gateway to enable secure communication between the on-premises data center and the VMware Cloud SDDC. Which gateway should you configure to establish this connectivity?
- A
Compute Gateway (CGW)
- B
Management Gateway (MGW)
- C
Tier-0 Gateway
- D
Tier-1 Gateway
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
In VMware Cloud on AWS, the Management Gateway (MGW) is configured to handle secure communication between the on-premises data center and the SDDC. It facilitates management traffic such as vCenter access, NSX Manager, and other critical components that enable hybrid connectivity.
- A. Incorrect.
The Compute Gateway (CGW) is used to manage network traffic for workloads running in the SDDC, but it is not used for establishing connectivity between the on-premises data center and the SDDC.
- B. Correct.
The Management Gateway (MGW) is responsible for managing traffic between the on-premises data center and the VMware Cloud SDDC, including secure communication. This is the correct gateway to configure in this scenario.
- C. Incorrect.
The Tier-0 Gateway is used in NSX-T for north-south traffic and external connectivity, but it is not specific to the VMware Cloud on AWS deployment scenario described here.
- D. Incorrect.
The Tier-1 Gateway is used in NSX-T for east-west traffic and workload routing, but it is not applicable for establishing connectivity between the on-premises data center and the VMware Cloud SDDC.
