VMware vRealize Log Insight Specialist — Question 12

An administrator recently deployed a four node I3 SDDC on VMware Cloud on AWS. One of the developers has requested a shared drive with 200TB of storage.
This drive will be used by multiple Linux machines inside the SDDC.
Which solution best meets the requirements of this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Provision an EFS datashare at AWS and connect to this via the ENI connection between the SDDC and AWS peered VPC.
• B. Provision an EBS share and attach this share to the virtual machines inside your SDDC. Traffic will flow through the ENI connection between the SDDC and AWS peered VPC.
• C. Provision a VSAN cluster and make it accessible to the public. Have the virtual machines connect to the VSAN cluster via the ENI connection.
• D. Create a vSphere physical RDM drive and attach this to the virtual machines inside the SDDC.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because an EBS share can be easily attached to multiple virtual machines within the SDDC and fulfills the storage requirement. Option A is incorrect as EFS is not typically used in this context for Linux machines in SDDC. Option C is wrong because making a VSAN cluster public poses security risks and isn't needed for this scenario. Option D is also not suitable since a vSphere physical RDM may not provide the required shared access for multiple VMs.
