VCP-VMC 2024 Question 161
Select 2A company is deploying a VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC and needs to design the network connectivity between their on-premises data center and the cloud environment. The company has high-bandwidth requirements and wants to ensure minimal latency for their workloads. Which networking considerations should the company prioritize to meet their requirements?
- A
Implement a VMware Transit Connect with AWS Direct Connect to establish a private, high-bandwidth connection.
- B
Use a VPN over the internet for connectivity to reduce costs while maintaining adequate performance.
- C
Ensure the on-premises network has sufficient bandwidth to handle the expected workload traffic to the cloud.
- D
Leverage AWS Elastic Load Balancing to distribute traffic between on-premises and the VMware Cloud on AWS environment.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To meet high-bandwidth and low-latency requirements, the company should implement a VMware Transit Connect with AWS Direct Connect and ensure their on-premises network can handle the expected traffic. These solutions provide a private, reliable, and high-performance connection between on-premises and VMware Cloud on AWS. A VPN or Elastic Load Balancer would not adequately address the company's performance needs in this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Implementing VMware Transit Connect with AWS Direct Connect is a best practice for high-bandwidth and low-latency connections. This directly addresses the company's requirements.
- B. Incorrect.
Using a VPN over the internet may reduce costs but introduces higher latency and lower reliability, which does not meet the company's high-bandwidth and low-latency requirements.
- C. Correct.
Ensuring sufficient on-premises network bandwidth is critical for handling traffic between on-premises and the cloud environment. Without this, performance goals cannot be met.
- D. Incorrect.
AWS Elastic Load Balancing is used for distributing traffic across multiple resources, but it does not directly address connectivity or latency between on-premises and VMware Cloud on AWS.
