VMware vRealize Operations Manager Advanced — Question 32

A company with a full vRealize solution stack deployment has recently been considering the Amazon Web Services (EC2) offering. The vRealize Automation architect is being tasked with integrating the Amazon test account with its environment for testing.
What would be the easiest way to complete this integration without adding any risks to the production environment?

Answer options

• A. Deploy a vCenter 6.0 appliance in Amazon and connect it as an endpoint to vRealize Automation.
• B. Create an Openstack endpoint and connect it to Amazon's cloud.
• C. Use the Amazon EC2 endpoint using a restricted access key for a test environment.
• D. Use the vRealize Orchestrator Plug-in for Amazon Web Services to create an Amazon EC2 endpoint using a restricted access key for a test environment.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because using the vRealize Orchestrator Plug-in allows for a structured integration with Amazon EC2 while maintaining security with a restricted access key. Options A and B introduce unnecessary complexity and risk by connecting additional components or using Openstack, while option C does not leverage the full capabilities of vRealize Automation for this specific integration task.
