VCP-VMC 2024 Question 99
Single answerA VMware Cloud on AWS deployment leverages VMware NSX for network virtualization. Which statement accurately describes the NSX architecture in VMware Cloud on AWS?
- A
NSX-T implements distributed routing and provides logical networks for the workloads running on VMware Cloud on AWS.
- B
NSX-V is the default network virtualization platform used in VMware Cloud on AWS for managing workload networking.
- C
NSX-T integrates directly with AWS VPCs to extend the logical network to native AWS services.
- D
NSX Manager is not required in VMware Cloud on AWS, as all network configurations are managed by the AWS native networking stack.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The NSX architecture in VMware Cloud on AWS uses NSX-T to implement distributed routing and logical networking for workloads. NSX-T is specifically designed for modern cloud environments and integrates with VMware Cloud on AWS to provide network segmentation, security, and connectivity. NSX-V is no longer used, and while NSX-T interacts with AWS infrastructure, it does not directly manage AWS VPCs. NSX Manager remains a critical component for managing the NSX-T environment in VMware Cloud on AWS.
- A. Correct.
This is the correct answer. NSX-T is the network virtualization technology used in VMware Cloud on AWS to provide logical networks, distributed routing, and other advanced networking features.
- B. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. NSX-V is deprecated and is not used in VMware Cloud on AWS. NSX-T is the platform of choice for modern VMware Cloud environments.
- C. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. While NSX-T provides networking for VMware Cloud on AWS workloads, it does not directly integrate with AWS VPCs. Instead, VMware Cloud on AWS uses Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) to connect to AWS native services.
- D. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. NSX Manager is still required in VMware Cloud on AWS for managing the network configurations and providing centralized control of NSX services.
