VCP-VMC 2024 Question 237
Single answerA company is planning to deploy a hybrid cloud architecture using VMware Cloud on AWS. The company needs to extend its on-premises data center network to the VMware Cloud environment while ensuring low latency, high bandwidth, and secure connectivity. Which network connectivity option is the most appropriate for this scenario?
- A
Site-to-Site VPN
- B
AWS Direct Connect
- C
Public Internet Access
- D
VMware Cloud Transit Connect
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
When extending an on-premises data center to VMware Cloud on AWS in a hybrid cloud architecture, AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated, private connection that ensures low latency, high bandwidth, and secure communication. This makes it the most appropriate option for the company's requirements compared to Site-to-Site VPN, Public Internet Access, or VMware Cloud Transit Connect.
- A. Incorrect.
Site-to-Site VPN can be used to establish connectivity to VMware Cloud on AWS; however, it may not provide the low latency and high bandwidth required by the company for their hybrid cloud architecture.
- B. Correct.
AWS Direct Connect is the best option for this scenario as it provides a dedicated connection between the on-premises data center and VMware Cloud on AWS. It ensures low latency, high bandwidth, and secure connectivity, meeting the company's requirements.
- C. Incorrect.
Public Internet Access is not suitable for this scenario as it does not guarantee low latency or the level of security needed for enterprise-grade hybrid cloud deployments.
- D. Incorrect.
VMware Cloud Transit Connect is used to establish connectivity between multiple VMware Cloud on AWS SDDCs or between VMware Cloud on AWS SDDCs and AWS Transit Gateway. It is not designed for extending on-premises networks to VMware Cloud.
