VMware Cloud on AWS Specialist — Question 26

Which statement is true about a VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC)?

Answer options

• A. It is a VMware environment integrating VMware vCenter Server, VMware vSAN and, optionally, VMware NSX-T that runs on an AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) bare-metal infrastructure and is able to consume native AWS services.
• B. It is a VMware environment integrating VMware vCenter Server, VMware vSAN and VMware NSX-T that runs nested VMware ESXi on AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances and is able to consume native AWS services.
• C. It is a VMware environment integrating VMware vCenter Server, VMware vSAN and VMware NSX-T that runs VMware ESXi on an AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) bare-metal infrastructure and is able to consume native AWS services.
• D. It is a VMware environment with VMware vCenter Server, VMware vSAN and VMware NSX-T managing native AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances and able to consume native AWS services.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as it accurately describes the VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC as operating on bare-metal AWS EC2 infrastructure. Options A and B incorrectly suggest optional components or nested ESXi, which do not apply to this environment. Option D misrepresents the relationship between VMware components and native EC2 instances, implying management rather than integration.
