VCP-VMC 2024 Question 164
Select 3You are designing a VMware Cloud on AWS solution for a client who wants to connect their on-premises data center to their VMware Cloud SDDC. The client also plans to integrate their workloads with native AWS services. Which networking considerations should you prioritize to ensure a seamless and secure deployment?
- A
Ensure that the VMware Cloud SDDC is deployed in the same AWS region as the client's on-premises data center.
- B
Verify that the client has configured a Direct Connect or VPN connection for on-premises to VMware Cloud SDDC connectivity.
- C
Enable a Transit Gateway in AWS to interconnect the VMware Cloud SDDC with other AWS VPCs for seamless service integration.
- D
Configure NSX-T Distributed Firewall rules to secure traffic between the on-premises data center and the VMware Cloud SDDC.
- E
Disable the default route propagation in the VMware Cloud SDDC to avoid unnecessary routing complexities.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, C, D
Explanation
When designing a VMware Cloud on AWS solution, it is crucial to focus on connectivity, integration, and security. A Direct Connect or VPN connection is necessary for on-premises to VMware Cloud SDDC communication. AWS Transit Gateway helps to seamlessly integrate the VMware Cloud SDDC with other AWS VPCs. Additionally, NSX-T Distributed Firewall rules ensure secure traffic management between the on-premises and cloud environments. Choosing the correct networking considerations ensures optimal performance and security for the hybrid cloud deployment.
- A. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. While the geographic proximity of the region may impact latency, there is no requirement to deploy the SDDC in the same AWS region as the on-premises data center. The connectivity between on-premises and the VMware Cloud SDDC is primarily achieved through VPN or Direct Connect.
- B. Correct.
This is correct. A Direct Connect or VPN connection is required to establish secure connectivity between the on-premises data center and the VMware Cloud SDDC.
- C. Correct.
This is correct. A Transit Gateway can facilitate the integration of the VMware Cloud SDDC with other AWS VPCs for seamless communication and access to native AWS services.
- D. Correct.
This is correct. NSX-T Distributed Firewall rules are essential for securing traffic between the on-premises data center and the VMware Cloud SDDC, ensuring that only authorized traffic is allowed.
- E. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. Disabling default route propagation could lead to routing issues and make it more difficult to manage network traffic across the hybrid environment.
