VMware Cloud on AWS Specialist — Question 3

An administrator has deployed VMware Cloud on AWS and requires a single broadcast domain for a set of virtual machines that reside both in the data center and in the software-defined data center (SDDC) over a DirectConnect connection. How can the administrator accomplish this without adding additional components in the cloud?

Answer options

• A. Duplicate the IP space in both locations and manually move the virtual machines.
• B. Deploy a Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN).
• C. Use a third-party networking tool to extend the broadcast domain.
• D. Deploy VMware HCX and a Service Mesh with a Network Extension appliance.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN) allows for the extension of a single broadcast domain over the DirectConnect connection, facilitating seamless communication between the virtual machines across both environments. Options A and C would not provide a true broadcast domain extension, and D involves additional components that the administrator is looking to avoid.
