Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
AWS Direct Connect is the optimal choice for scenarios requiring secure, low-latency, and high-throughput connectivity between an on-premises data center and VMware Cloud on AWS. It provides a private, dedicated connection that meets the company's migration needs.
- A. Incorrect.
VPN over the public internet provides secure communication but is not suitable for low-latency, high-throughput requirements due to the unpredictable performance of the public internet.
- B. Correct.
AWS Direct Connect offers a dedicated private connection between the on-premises data center and VMware Cloud on AWS. It ensures low latency, high throughput, and reliable performance, making it the best option for this scenario.
- C. Incorrect.
Internet-based access using VMware Cloud Console is used for managing VMware Cloud resources but does not provide the required low-latency, high-throughput connectivity for workload migration.
- D. Incorrect.
VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud is designed for optimizing WAN connections over the internet but does not provide the dedicated connectivity needed for low-latency, high-throughput requirements.
