CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 204

Company XYZ is operating several data centers across the globe to cater to a highly mobile workforce and dynamic workloads. Consider the cost of the connections QoS and latency requirements and the global spread of users. Which cloud connectivity mechanism is the preferred mode of connectivity to public clouds?

Answer options

• A. internet-based direct connect circuits
• B. IPsec over internet
• C. cloud on-ramp
• D. MPLS direct connect

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct choice, cloud on-ramp, is designed to optimize cloud connectivity by providing a direct and efficient pathway to public cloud services, accommodating dynamic workloads and user distribution. In contrast, internet-based direct connect circuits and IPsec over the internet may not provide the necessary performance and reliability, while MPLS direct connect, though reliable, can be more costly and less agile for rapidly changing environments.
