VMware NSX-T Data Center for Operators — Question 26

A customer is looking to leverage a VMware Public Cloud solution to provide them with additional compute capacity as seasonal demand increases for their online business.
The current on-premises data center is configured as follows:

VMware vSphere 7.0 -
VMware vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) 7.0
Management and Server network - 172.18.0.0/16
vMotion network - 192.168.120.0/24
250 application servers
Given the information in the scenario, which capability of VMware HCX will the customer not be able to utilize?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Layer 2 extension, because this capability requires a compatible Layer 2 network configuration to maintain the same subnet across both environments, which is not possible with the provided setup. Cold migration, bulk migration, and WAN optimization can still be utilized under the current configuration, making those options valid for the customer.
