VMware Cloud on AWS Specialist — Question 1

An environment is running a VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC) with six i3.metal hosts. Storage space usage has increased and the administrator is required to add storage capacity. Which two approaches can the administrator take to add storage capacity? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Deploy Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) file shares from the AWS console and attach them to the i3.metal hosts. Use VMware Storage vMotion to migrate the storage-bound virtual machines to the Amazon EFS data stores.
• B. Deploy Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) storage volumes (GP2) from the AWS console and attach them to the i3.metal hosts. Allow VMware vSAN extend the storage capacity automatically.
• C. Deploy an additional cluster based on i3en.metal hosts and migrate the storage-bound virtual machines to the i3en.metal hosts.
• D. Add additional i3.metal hosts to increase the total vSAN storage space.
• E. Add additional i3en.metal hosts and migrate the storage-bound virtual machines to the i3en.metal hosts.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because deploying Amazon EBS volumes allows for additional storage that VMware vSAN can utilize to automatically expand capacity. Option D is also correct as adding more i3.metal hosts directly increases the storage available through vSAN. The other options either involve file storage that isn’t integrated with vSAN or require additional migration steps that do not address the immediate need for increased capacity.
