An environment is running a VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC) with six i3.metal hosts. Storage space usage has increased and the administrator is required to add storage capacity. Which two approaches can the administrator take to add storage capacity? (Choose two.)
A. Deploy Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) file shares from the AWS console and attach them to the i3.metal hosts. Use VMware Storage vMotion to migrate the storage-bound virtual machines to the Amazon EFS data stores.
B. Deploy Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) storage volumes (GP2) from the AWS console and attach them to the i3.metal hosts. Allow VMware vSAN extend the storage capacity automatically.
C. Deploy an additional cluster based on i3en.metal hosts and migrate the storage-bound virtual machines to the i3en.metal hosts.
D. Add additional i3.metal hosts to increase the total vSAN storage space.
E. Add additional i3en.metal hosts and migrate the storage-bound virtual machines to the i3en.metal hosts.
An administrator deploys a virtual machine and configures it to perform backups to an AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket. After the first month of use, the administrator receives a bill from AWS indicating egress charges were applied to the backup traffic leaving the software-defined data center (SDCC), destined for the AWS S3 bucket. What can the administrator do to ensure backup traffic travels to the linked Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) through the Elastic Network Interface?
A. Configure the S3 bucket with a public endpoint accessible over the Internet through HTTPS.
B. Configure Direct Connect to a private virtual interface for access to AWS services.
C. Create a gateway endpoint in the linked AWS VPC and configure it for use with the S3 bucket.
D. Configure a route-based virtual private network (VPN) for the SDDC to the VPC.
An administrator has deployed VMware Cloud on AWS and requires a single broadcast domain for a set of virtual machines that reside both in the data center and in the software-defined data center (SDDC) over a DirectConnect connection. How can the administrator accomplish this without adding additional components in the cloud?
A. Duplicate the IP space in both locations and manually move the virtual machines.
B. Deploy a Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN).
C. Use a third-party networking tool to extend the broadcast domain.
D. Deploy VMware HCX and a Service Mesh with a Network Extension appliance.
When deploying a VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC), which components are deployed automatically?
A. VMware ESXi, vCenter, vSAN, NSX, Hybrid Linked Mode
B. VMware ESXi, vCenter, vSAN, NSX in active/passive mode
C. VMware ESXi, vCenter, vSAN, NSX, HCX
D. VMware ESXi, vCenter, vSAN, NSX in active/active mode
An administrator is deploying a VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC) in an AWS region and needs to plan for mission-critical application availability across availability zones. Which AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) configuration needs to be in place in order to accomplish this?
A. One AWS VPC with four subnets, one per availability zone
B. Two AWS VPCs with two subnets, two per availability zone
C. One AWS VPC with two subnets, one per availability zone
D. Four AWS VPCs with two subnets, two per availability zone
Which two VMware Cloud on AWS maintenance tasks are the responsibility of AWS personnel? (Choose two.)
A. Back up and restore VMware appliances and infrastructure.
B. Patch VMware Cloud on AWS components.
C. Refresh hardware and replace failed components.
D. Upgrade workload VMware Tools.
A customer is deploying a new solution based on VMware Cloud on AWS. The customer is already running several native AWS services and would like the new workloads deployed into VMware Cloud on AWS to consume these services without incurring additional traffic charges. During the initial deployment of the VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC), which option must the customer choose to meet the requirement?
A. Choose a connected Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) that is located in the same region as the native AWSservices to be consumed.
B. Any availability zone within the same AWS region can be selected. After the SDDC deployment, deploy a services gateway and connect it to the target availability zone.
C. Choose a subnet from the connected Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) that is located in the same availability zone as the native AWS services to be consumed.
D. Choose a connected Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) that is located in the same availability zone as the native AWS services to be consumed.
A customer plans to use VMware Cloud on AWS to support their public cloud adoption initiatives. Their use case for VMware Cloud on AWS is predominately data center extension to support seasonal and business specific demands. There will also be a number of workloads running in VMware Cloud on AWS on a long-term, permanent basis. Based on a recent sizing assessment, it is determined that utilization of VMware Cloud on AWS will fluctuate between two and five hosts throughout the year based on seasonal and market conditions. Which possible subscription option would result in the greatest benefit to this customer and why?
A. Create a subscription for five hosts for three years. This option provides the greatest cost savings to the customer and eliminates the amount of time needed to provision and configure VMware ESXi hosts as consumption fluctuates.
B. Create a subscription for two hosts for one year and consume the remaining hosts, as needed, on-demand. This option allows the customer to lock in a term rate for required hosts and leverage on-demand rates for additional hosts as needed.
C. Consume VMware Cloud on AWS on-demand based on seasonal and business requirements. This option provides the cost benefits of cloud through an on-demand consumption model.
D. Create a subscription for three hosts for three years and consume the remaining hosts, as needed, on-demand. This option allows the customer to lock in a term rate for required hosts and leverage on-demand rates for additional hosts as needed.
Which statement is true about a VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC)?
A. It is a VMware environment integrating VMware vCenter Server, VMware vSAN and, optionally, VMware NSX-T that runs on an AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) bare-metal infrastructure and is able to consume native AWS services.
B. It is a VMware environment integrating VMware vCenter Server, VMware vSAN and VMware NSX-T that runs nested VMware ESXi on AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances and is able to consume native AWS services.
C. It is a VMware environment integrating VMware vCenter Server, VMware vSAN and VMware NSX-T that runs VMware ESXi on an AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) bare-metal infrastructure and is able to consume native AWS services.
D. It is a VMware environment with VMware vCenter Server, VMware vSAN and VMware NSX-T managing native AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances and able to consume native AWS services.
