VCP-VMC 2024 Question 139
Single answerYou are designing a VMware Cloud environment with VMware Cloud on AWS. The customer requires secure and reliable connectivity between their on-premises data center and the VMware Cloud SDDC. Which type of gateway should be configured to establish this connection?
- A
Management Gateway (MGW)
- B
Compute Gateway (CGW)
- C
Internet Gateway (IGW)
- D
Tier-0 Gateway
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The Tier-0 Gateway in VMware Cloud on AWS is a key networking component that facilitates connectivity between on-premises environments and the VMware Cloud SDDC. It supports technologies like VPN and AWS Direct Connect, ensuring secure and high-performance communication. While other gateways have specific roles within the SDDC, they do not fulfill the requirements for connecting to on-premises data centers.
- A. Incorrect.
The Management Gateway (MGW) is responsible for managing the VMware Cloud SDDC infrastructure and does not handle external connectivity for workloads.
- B. Incorrect.
The Compute Gateway (CGW) is used to manage traffic related to workloads running within the SDDC but is not designed to establish connectivity to on-premises environments.
- C. Incorrect.
The Internet Gateway (IGW) provides internet access for workloads but is not relevant for connecting to on-premises environments.
- D. Correct.
The Tier-0 Gateway is the correct option because it is specifically designed to provide secure and reliable connectivity between the on-premises data center and the VMware Cloud SDDC, typically through VPN or Direct Connect.
