Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The Edge Gateway in VMware Cloud is the correct choice for enabling secure external access to workloads. It provides essential features like routing, NAT, and firewall rules to manage external traffic securely and efficiently. Other gateways like the Management Gateway, Compute Gateway, or Transit Gateway serve different purposes within the VMware Cloud environment.
- A. Incorrect.
The Management Gateway is used for managing the SDDC infrastructure and does not handle external traffic for workloads.
- B. Incorrect.
The Compute Gateway is responsible for managing traffic between the workloads within the SDDC, but it does not provide secure external access.
- C. Correct.
The Edge Gateway is specifically designed to handle external connectivity, including secure access, routing, and firewall configurations for workloads.
- D. Incorrect.
The Transit Gateway is used for connecting multiple SDDCs or on-premises environments and is not meant for direct external workload access.
