VCP-VMC 2024 Question 238
Single answerA company is migrating its workloads to VMware Cloud on AWS and wants to establish a secure and high-performance connection between their on-premises data center and the VMware Cloud SDDC. The company has a high volume of data that will be transferred regularly. Which network connectivity option should they choose to meet their requirements?
- A
VPN (IPSec) connectivity
- B
AWS Direct Connect
- C
Public Internet connection
- D
VMware Transit Connect with Direct Connect
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct option is AWS Direct Connect because it provides a private, high-bandwidth, and low-latency connection between the on-premises data center and VMware Cloud on AWS. This makes it ideal for scenarios involving high data transfer volumes and performance-sensitive workloads. Other options either lack the required performance or are designed for different use cases.
- A. Incorrect.
VPN (IPSec) connectivity provides a secure connection over the public internet but might not meet high-performance requirements for large data transfers.
- B. Correct.
AWS Direct Connect offers a dedicated, high-bandwidth, low-latency connection, making it suitable for high-volume data transfers and performance-sensitive applications.
- C. Incorrect.
A public internet connection is cost-effective but lacks the performance, reliability, and security required for transferring large amounts of data regularly.
- D. Incorrect.
VMware Transit Connect with Direct Connect is used primarily for enabling connectivity between multiple SDDCs or for hybrid scenarios but does not directly address the on-premises to VMware Cloud connection described in the scenario.
