VMware vRealize Log Insight Specialist — Question 7

A customer is looking for a reliable and cost-effective way to back up workload data running in VMware Cloud on AWS.
What is the most appropriate solution?

Answer options

• A. Deploy a virtual machine AWS EC2 and mount AWS Elastic File Storage (EFS) to this virtual machine; configure this virtual machine as the backup target for image-based backups in VMware vSphere Data Protection.
• B. Deploy a virtual machine in VMware Cloud on AWS and mount AWS Elastic File Storage (EFS) to this virtual machine; configure this virtual machine as the backup target for image-based backups in VMware vSphere Data Protection.
• C. Create an S3 bucket in another availability zone and validate that the customers preferred backup solution is supported for VMware Cloud on AWS; otherwise guide the customer to choose another backup solution.
• D. Create an S3 bucket in the same availability zone and validate that the customers preferred backup solution is supported for VMware Cloud on AWS; otherwise guide the customer to choose another backup solution.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because deploying a virtual machine within VMware Cloud on AWS allows for direct integration and optimized performance with VMware vSphere Data Protection, making it a suitable backup target. Option A uses AWS EC2, which is not as effective for workloads specifically running in VMware Cloud on AWS. Options C and D are less ideal as they focus on S3 buckets without leveraging the full capabilities of VMware's backup solutions.
