VCP-VMC 2024 Question 4
Select 2Your organization is planning to migrate its on-premises workloads to a VMware Cloud on AWS environment. As part of the architecture design, you need to ensure that the workloads can leverage native AWS services while maintaining low latency and secure connectivity. Which two architectural considerations should you prioritize when designing this hybrid cloud architecture?
- A
Deploy VMware Cloud on AWS in the same AWS region as the native AWS services your workloads will use.
- B
Use VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer to optimize cross-region traffic between VMware Cloud on AWS and native AWS services.
- C
Ensure that the Subnet CIDR blocks for VMware Cloud on AWS do not overlap with the native AWS VPCs.
- D
Utilize VMware HCX to replicate data between VMware Cloud on AWS and the native AWS services for better integration.
- E
Enable Elastic vSAN storage to extend on-premises storage into the VMware Cloud on AWS environment.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
When designing a hybrid cloud architecture with VMware Cloud on AWS, it is essential to ensure low-latency connectivity by deploying VMware Cloud in the same region as the native AWS services. Additionally, avoiding overlapping Subnet CIDR blocks is necessary to maintain proper network routing and connectivity. These considerations are critical for seamless integration and optimal performance between VMware Cloud on AWS and native AWS services.
- A. Correct.
Deploying VMware Cloud on AWS in the same AWS region as the native AWS services ensures low-latency connectivity between the workloads and the AWS services they utilize. This is a key architectural consideration for performance optimization.
- B. Incorrect.
VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer is not specifically designed for optimizing cross-region traffic between VMware Cloud on AWS and AWS services. This option is not relevant to the scenario.
- C. Correct.
Avoiding overlapping Subnet CIDR blocks between VMware Cloud on AWS and native AWS VPCs is critical for network routing and connectivity. Overlapping subnets can cause routing conflicts and connectivity issues.
- D. Incorrect.
VMware HCX is primarily used for workload migration and disaster recovery. While it is useful for replicating data, it is not a direct requirement for integrating VMware Cloud on AWS with native AWS services.
- E. Incorrect.
Elastic vSAN storage is not a feature of VMware Cloud on AWS and does not apply to extending on-premises storage into the cloud environment. This option is incorrect.
