VCP-VMC 2024 Question 81
Single answerA company is running mission-critical workloads on VMware Cloud on AWS and has strict requirements for minimal downtime and data loss in case of a disaster. They need a disaster recovery solution that provides automated failover and failback with near real-time replication. Which solution would best meet their requirements?
- A
Use VMware Site Recovery with VMware Cloud on AWS
- B
Implement traditional backup solutions with daily snapshots
- C
Utilize vSphere Replication without orchestration
- D
Rely on native AWS backup services for VMware Cloud workloads
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
VMware Site Recovery is the most appropriate solution for the given scenario as it is specifically designed for VMware Cloud on AWS environments. It provides near real-time replication, automated failover and failback, and orchestration capabilities, meeting the strict requirements for minimal downtime and data loss. Other options either lack the necessary features or are not designed for VMware Cloud workloads.
- A. Correct.
VMware Site Recovery is specifically designed for disaster recovery in VMware Cloud environments. It provides near real-time replication, automated failover, failback capabilities, and orchestration, making it ideal for mission-critical workloads.
- B. Incorrect.
Traditional backup solutions with daily snapshots are not sufficient for strict RPO and RTO requirements. They lack real-time replication and automated failover, leading to higher downtime and potential data loss.
- C. Incorrect.
While vSphere Replication can handle replication tasks, it does not provide the orchestration or automation needed for failover and failback, making it less suitable for mission-critical workloads.
- D. Incorrect.
Native AWS backup services are not tailored for VMware Cloud workloads and lack the integration and functionality required for disaster recovery in this context.
