VMware NSX-T Data Center for Operators — Question 21

A cloud administrator wants to migrate a virtual machine using VMware vSphere vMotion from their on-premises data center to their VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC), using an existing private line to the cloud SDDC.
Which two requirements must be met before the migration can occur? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The versions of VMware vSphere need to match between the on-premises data center and the cloud SDDC.
• B. A Layer 2 connection is configured between the on-premises data center and the cloud SDDC.
• C. AWS Direct Connect is configured between the on-premises data center and the cloud SDDC.
• D. IPsec VPN is configured between the on-premises data center and the cloud SDDC.
• E. Cluster-level Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) is configured in the on-premises data center and the cloud SDDC.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers are C and D because AWS Direct Connect facilitates a dedicated connection for data transfer, while an IPsec VPN provides secure communication. The other options are not required for the vMotion process in this scenario, as matching vSphere versions and Layer 2 connections are not mandatory prerequisites for migrating to the cloud SDDC.
