VCP-VMC 2024 Question 213
Select 3A cloud administrator is tasked with ensuring consistent access to critical workloads hosted on VMware Cloud. The administrator also wants to automate operational tasks such as backup and resource optimization while minimizing manual intervention. Which VMware Cloud services and features should the administrator configure to achieve these objectives?
- A
Enable VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (VCDR) for automated backup and recovery.
- B
Use VMware vSphere Auto Deploy to optimize resource allocation across hosts.
- C
Configure VMware vRealize Operations Cloud for workload optimization and monitoring.
- D
Set up VMware HCX (Hybrid Cloud Extension) for workload migration and replication.
- E
Leverage VMware Cloud Automation (vRealize Automation Cloud) for task automation.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
To meet the administrator's requirements, VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (VCDR) ensures automated backup and recovery for critical workloads. VMware vRealize Operations Cloud optimizes workload performance and provides actionable insights for resource management. Additionally, VMware Cloud Automation (vRealize Automation Cloud) enables task automation, reducing manual efforts. These services collectively address the objectives of consistent workload access, backup, and operational task automation.
- A. Correct.
Enabling VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (VCDR) ensures that critical workloads are automatically backed up and recoverable, addressing the administrator's need for backup automation.
- B. Incorrect.
VMware vSphere Auto Deploy is used for provisioning ESXi hosts, not for optimizing workload resources across hosts. It does not meet the requirements for automation or resource optimization in this scenario.
- C. Correct.
Configuring VMware vRealize Operations Cloud provides workload optimization, monitoring, and insights, which helps in minimizing manual intervention and ensures consistent performance.
- D. Incorrect.
VMware HCX (Hybrid Cloud Extension) is primarily used for migrating workloads between environments and disaster recovery but does not directly assist with task automation or resource optimization in this context.
- E. Correct.
VMware Cloud Automation (vRealize Automation Cloud) allows for the automation of operational tasks, ensuring consistency and reducing manual intervention.
