VMware Cloud on AWS Specialist — Question 60

A consultant is asked to help evaluate an environment for deployment into a new software-defined data center (SDDC) in VMware Cloud on AWS. The consultant is provided with a comma-separated value (CSV) file containing a list of workloads exported from VMware vCenter detailing only virtual machine configuration data, including vCPU, vRAM, and utilized storage. How should the consultant use the VMC on AWS Sizer?

Answer options

• A. Use the Advanced Sizer. Create workload profiles for the different workload types and set the values for configured resources manually.
• B. Use the Advanced Sizer. Import the CSV file from VMware vCenter Server and let the VMware Cloud on AWS Sizer set the values for configured resources.
• C. Use the Advanced Sizer. Import the CSV file from VMware vCenter Server and let the VMware Cloud on AWS Sizer set the values for configured resources.
• D. Use the Quick Sizer. Manually enter the number of virtual machines and total resources for configured resources.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the Quick Sizer allows for a straightforward approach by manually entering the number of virtual machines and their resources, which is appropriate given the consultant's task. Options A, B, and C involve the Advanced Sizer, which is more complex and not necessary for this evaluation since the consultant is looking for a simple manual input based on the provided CSV data.
