VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 52
An administrator needs to provide encryption for workloads within an existing vSphere cluster.
The following requirements must be met:
Workloads should be encrypted at rest.
Encrypted workloads must automatically be encrypted during transit.
Encryption should not require any specific hardware.
What should the administrator configure to meet these requirements?
Answer options
- A. Encrypted vSphere vMotion
- B. Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Secure Boot
- C. Host Encryption
- D. VM Encryption
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D, VM Encryption, as it provides encryption for virtual machines both at rest and during transit without the need for specialized hardware. Option A, Encrypted vSphere vMotion, only addresses encryption during data transfer, not at rest. Options B and C do not relate directly to the specific encryption requirements outlined in the question.
