VCP-VMC 2024 Question 162
Select 3An organization is deploying VMware Cloud on AWS and needs to ensure seamless connectivity between their on-premises data center and their VMware Cloud Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC). They are also planning to use native AWS services. Which of the following networking considerations must the organization address to achieve their goals?
- A
Establish a Direct Connect or VPN connection for on-premises to VMware Cloud SDDC connectivity.
- B
Configure the Elastic Network Interface (ENI) to enable high-speed and low-latency access to native AWS services from the VMware Cloud SDDC.
- C
Deploy a dedicated firewall appliance within the VMware Cloud SDDC to manage traffic between on-premises and AWS services.
- D
Ensure proper routing is configured between the on-premises network, the VMware Cloud SDDC, and the connected AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
- E
Enable VMware Transit Connect for simplified multi-region connectivity between VMware Cloud SDDCs.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To achieve seamless connectivity, the organization must establish a Direct Connect or VPN connection to link their on-premises environment to the VMware Cloud SDDC. Additionally, the Elastic Network Interface (ENI) enables high-speed access to AWS native services from the VMware Cloud SDDC. Proper routing is crucial to ensure smooth communication between the on-premises network, the VMware Cloud SDDC, and the AWS VPC. Other considerations like deploying a dedicated firewall appliance or enabling VMware Transit Connect are not applicable to the requirements described in this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Correct. A Direct Connect or VPN connection is essential for establishing connectivity between the on-premises data center and the VMware Cloud SDDC, ensuring secure communication.
- B. Correct.
Correct. The ENI provides a direct, high-speed connection between the VMware Cloud SDDC and the associated AWS VPC, enabling efficient use of native AWS services.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. A dedicated firewall appliance is not required; VMware Cloud on AWS provides built-in networking and security features to manage traffic between on-premises and AWS services.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Proper routing ensures that traffic flows correctly between the on-premises network, the VMware Cloud SDDC, and the AWS VPC, preventing connectivity issues.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. VMware Transit Connect is primarily used for multi-region connectivity between VMware Cloud SDDCs, which is not a requirement in this scenario.
