VMware vSphere 7.x Delta — Question 82

An encrypted VM needs to be migrated from New York to London. This particular VM houses sensitive information that needs to be encrypted during transit.
What must be done to ensure Long Distance vMotion traffic is encrypted in flight?

Answer options

• A. Encryption must be handled at the physical network layer.
• B. vSphere vMotion uses encryption when migrating encrypted virtual machines.
• C. Long-Distance vSphere vMotion does not support encryption.
• D. Select encryption in the transit option.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because vSphere vMotion automatically provides encryption for encrypted virtual machines during migration, ensuring data security in transit. Option A is incorrect as encryption at the physical layer is not necessary for vMotion, option C is false since Long-Distance vMotion does support encryption, and option D is misleading since the encryption is handled automatically.
