VMware Cloud on AWS Specialist — Question 7

An administrator deploys a virtual machine to its software-defined data center (SDDC) and configures it to perform backups of the other virtual machines in the
SDDC. The administrator also creates an AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket in the linked Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and is attempting to use the
S3 bucket as a repository for their backups. The administrator confirms that the backup software is capable of using AWS S3 storage as a backup repository, and that the AWS S3 bucket is configured to use an endpoint in the linked VPC. What else should the administrator do to ensure connectivity between SDDC virtual machines and the AWS S3 repository in the linked VPC through the Elastic Network Interface?

Answer options

• A. Configure Direct Connect to a Private Virtual Interface for access to AWS services.
• B. Configure a route-based VPN for the SDDC to the VPC.
• C. Configure Direct Connect to a Public Virtual Interface for access to AWS services.
• D. Ensure Service Access for S3 is enabled in Networking and Security for the SDDC.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because enabling Service Access for S3 in the Networking and Security settings allows the virtual machines in the SDDC to communicate with the AWS S3 bucket. Options A and C are related to Direct Connect configurations, which are not necessary if the S3 bucket is already accessible via the VPC endpoint. Option B, while it establishes a VPN, does not directly address the specific requirement of enabling access to the S3 service.
