VCP-VMC 2024 Question 84
Single answerA company is running critical workloads on VMware Cloud on AWS and is planning their disaster recovery (DR) strategy. They need a solution that allows them to replicate their VMs to a secondary site while ensuring a low Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and automated failover in case of a disaster. Which disaster recovery method should the company choose?
- A
Configure VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (VCDR) for automated failover and recovery.
- B
Use native AWS S3 for VM backups and manual recovery.
- C
Leverage vSphere Replication to manually replicate VMs to an on-premises environment.
- D
Deploy a third-party backup solution for file-level recovery.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
For VMware Cloud on AWS, VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (VCDR) is the most appropriate solution for disaster recovery. It is optimized for VMware environments and provides critical features such as automated failover, low RTO, and simplified management, which are essential for minimizing downtime and ensuring business continuity during a disaster.
- A. Correct.
VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (VCDR) is specifically designed for VMware Cloud on AWS environments and provides automated failover, low RTO, and simplified management for disaster recovery scenarios.
- B. Incorrect.
AWS S3 is primarily used for object storage and is not designed for automated failover or low RTO scenarios. Recovery from S3 would require significant manual effort and time.
- C. Incorrect.
vSphere Replication can replicate VMs, but it does not provide automated failover or meet low RTO requirements without additional tools or configuration.
- D. Incorrect.
Third-party backup solutions focus on backup and file-level recovery. They are not typically used for full DR scenarios requiring automated failover and low RTO.
