VMware Cloud on AWS Specialist — Question 38

A customer is deploying a new solution based on VMware Cloud on AWS. The customer is already running several native AWS services and would like the new workloads deployed into VMware Cloud on AWS to consume these services without incurring additional traffic charges. During the initial deployment of the
VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC), which option must the customer choose to meet the requirement?

Answer options

• A. Choose a connected Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) that is located in the same region as the native AWSservices to be consumed.
• B. Any availability zone within the same AWS region can be selected. After the SDDC deployment, deploy a services gateway and connect it to the target availability zone.
• C. Choose a subnet from the connected Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) that is located in the same availability zone as the native AWS services to be consumed.
• D. Choose a connected Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) that is located in the same availability zone as the native AWS services to be consumed.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because choosing a subnet from a connected VPC in the same availability zone ensures that the VMware workloads can communicate with the native AWS services without incurring additional traffic charges. Option A is incorrect as it only ensures regional connectivity, not availability zone proximity. Option B does not guarantee the required availability zone placement at the time of SDDC deployment, and option D incorrectly suggests selecting a VPC instead of a subnet, which does not meet the requirement.
