- D
Integration with AWS Direct Connect for low-latency hybrid cloud connectivity
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The ability to run VMware vSphere-based workloads natively on AWS bare-metal infrastructure is the key feature of VMware Cloud on AWS that allows organizations to maintain their existing VMware environment while taking advantage of AWS's native services. This capability ensures operational consistency and enables application modernization efforts, meeting the company's requirements.
- A. Correct.
This is the correct option. VMware Cloud on AWS enables customers to run their VMware vSphere-based workloads natively on AWS bare-metal infrastructure. This allows organizations to use their existing tools and operational processes while also taking advantage of native AWS services.
- B. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. VMware Cloud on AWS does not support third-party hypervisors alongside VMware workloads. It is specifically designed to run VMware's software stack on AWS infrastructure.
- C. Incorrect.
While VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) is a useful tool for disaster recovery, it does not directly address the requirement to leverage existing VMware tools while modernizing applications with native AWS services.
- D. Incorrect.
Although AWS Direct Connect can provide low-latency connectivity between on-premises data centers and AWS, it does not fulfill the requirement of running VMware workloads natively or integrating AWS services for application modernization.
