VMware NSX-T Data Center for Operators — Question 14

A cloud administrator is tasked with moving critical business workloads between two VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data centers (SDDCs) located in different geographical regions. The following requirements must be met:
Migrate 300 virtual machines from region A to region B with minimal downtime of the applications.
Non-disruptively resume application access of the targeted virtual machines in the event the migration fails.
Support concurrent switch over of the application workloads to occur during a pre-defined maintenance window.
Which VMware HCX migration type should be used to meet these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is VMware HCX Replication Assisted vMotion because it allows for minimal downtime during the migration and provides the ability to non-disruptively resume access to applications if needed. VMware HCX Cold Migration does not support live workloads, VMware HCX Bulk Migration is not suitable for minimal downtime requirements, and VMware HCX vMotion lacks the necessary replication features for this scenario.
