VMware NSX-T Data Center for Operators — Question 27

A cloud administrator is planning to migrate 1,000 VMs from their existing on-premises location into VMware Cloud on AWS. The migration will need to be completed as quickly as possible. Upon completion, the users will need the most reliable, lowest latency connection possible.
Which on-premises data center connectivity option will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Layer 2 VPN
• B. AWS Direct Connect
• C. VMware Transit Connect
• D. IPsec VPN

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Direct Connect is the best option for providing a dedicated, high-bandwidth, low-latency connection directly to AWS, making it ideal for the migration and ongoing connectivity needs. Layer 2 VPN and IPsec VPN may introduce additional latency and are generally less reliable for large-scale migrations, while VMware Transit Connect is designed for inter-VPC communication rather than direct connectivity to AWS.
