VMware Horizon 8 Specialist — Question 60

An administrator would like to use vRealize Operations Cloud to monitor an on-premises deployment.
Which initial step must the administrator take?

Answer options

• A. Deploy a Cloud Proxy on-premises, and pair it with vRealize Operations Cloud.
• B. Initiate a Cloud Proxy deployment on the cloud console, and pair it with vRealize Operations Cloud.
• C. Open firewall ports to vRealize Operations Cloud from the on-premises vCenter, and then add the on-premises deployment.
• D. Deploy a vRealize Operations node on-premises, and pair it with vRealize Operations Cloud.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because deploying a Cloud Proxy on-premises is necessary to establish a connection between the on-premises environment and vRealize Operations Cloud. Option B is incorrect as it suggests initiating the deployment from the cloud console, which does not address the on-premises requirement. Options C and D do not provide the initial step required for monitoring; they focus on firewall configurations and on-premises node deployment, respectively.
