VMware Horizon 8 Specialist — Question 78

There is a planned project to move all the workloads that support a business-critical application from the company's vSphere environment, which is running in a data center, to a public cloud. The vSphere environment is being monitored by vRealize Operations, and all of the workloads supporting the critical application are members of a custom group in vRealize Operations.

The CTO has asked for an estimate of the monthly cost to run all of these workloads in IBM Cloud instead of the private cloud.

Which steps, if any, could the administrator take to obtain this information?

Answer options

• A. vRealize Operations does not support IBM Cloud as a provider for public cloud migration planning scenarios.
• B. What-If Analysis --> Migration Planning --> Select the appropriate IBM Cloud region --> Import from existing VM --> Filter on the custom group --> Select all machines --> Run Scenario.
• C. What-If Analysis --> Datacenter Comparison --> Select the appropriate IBM Cloud region --> Import from existing VM --> Filter on the custom group - -> Select all machines --> Run Scenario.
• D. What-If Analysis --> Import Rate Card --> upload a comma-separated value text file with IBM Cloud rates --> Import from existing VM --> Filter on the custom group --> Select all machines --> Run Scenario.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because it outlines the exact steps needed to estimate the monthly cost of running workloads in IBM Cloud using vRealize Operations. The other options either mention incorrect processes or do not align with the requirements for migration planning to IBM Cloud.
