VCP-VMC 2024 Question 19
Select 3A company is designing a hybrid cloud environment using VMware Cloud on AWS. The solution requires a secure, low-latency connection between their on-premises data center and the VMware Cloud on AWS Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC). Additionally, they need to ensure that the SDDC can integrate seamlessly with native AWS services. Which components are required to achieve this design?
- A
VMware Cloud SDDC Group
- B
AWS Direct Connect
- C
Elastic Load Balancer (ELB)
- D
VMware Transit Connect
- E
On-Premises VPN Gateway
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, D, E
Explanation
To design a hybrid cloud environment with secure, low-latency connectivity, AWS Direct Connect is required to establish a dedicated connection between on-premises and VMware Cloud on AWS. VMware Transit Connect ensures seamless integration with AWS native services, and the on-premises VPN Gateway provides secure communication, either as a backup or secondary option. These components collectively address the requirements of the scenario.
- A. Incorrect.
VMware Cloud SDDC Group is used to link multiple SDDCs together, but it is not required for integrating a single on-premises data center with the VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC or AWS native services.
- B. Correct.
AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated and secure low-latency connection between the on-premises data center and VMware Cloud on AWS, meeting the connectivity requirement.
- C. Incorrect.
Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) is used for distributing traffic to applications running on AWS, but it is not relevant to connecting on-premises environments to VMware Cloud on AWS.
- D. Correct.
VMware Transit Connect is used to enable high-speed connectivity between VMware Cloud SDDCs and native AWS environments, ensuring seamless integration with AWS services.
- E. Correct.
An on-premises VPN Gateway allows for secure connectivity between the on-premises data center and VMware Cloud on AWS over a VPN, which can complement or act as a backup to AWS Direct Connect.
