VMware Cloud on AWS Specialist — Question 50

An administrator is looking to establish a hybrid connection between on-premises and VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC) environments in order to migrate virtual machines. The on-premises environment is NOT using NSX today; however, the administrator wants to avoid having to change IP addresses after each migration, and there are some applications that require the same broadcast domain. Which connection is needed to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Policy-based VPN
• B. Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN)
• C. AWS Direct Connect
• D. Route-based VPN

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) is the correct answer because it enables the extension of the on-premises broadcast domain to the cloud without requiring IP address changes, which is essential for the applications mentioned. The other options, such as Policy-based VPN, AWS Direct Connect, and Route-based VPN, do not provide the necessary Layer 2 connectivity needed for maintaining the same broadcast domain.
