Which API endpoint serves as the authentication point for VMware Cloud on AWS?

A. Cloud Services Platform API

B. NSX-T Data Center API

C. Deployed SDDC API

D. VMware Cloud on AWS API

An administrator deploys a virtual machine and configures it to perform backups to an AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket. After the first month of use, the administrator receives a bill from AWS indicating egress charges were applied to the backup traffic leaving the software-defined data center (SDCC), destined for the AWS S3 bucket. What can the administrator do to ensure backup traffic travels to the linked Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) through the Elastic Network Interface?

A. Configure the S3 bucket with a public endpoint accessible over the Internet through HTTPS.

B. Configure Direct Connect to a private virtual interface for access to AWS services.

C. Create a gateway endpoint in the linked AWS VPC and configure it for use with the S3 bucket.

D. Configure a route-based virtual private network (VPN) for the SDDC to the VPC.

Due to a recent acquisition, an architect is being asked to identify and design a cloud-based solution that will assist in merging several data centers together without incurring undue operational overhead while adhering to a very strict project timeline. The proposed solution must have the capability to be rapidly recovered in the event of a cloud provider outage. After careful consideration, the architect determines that VMware Cloud on AWS would be an appropriate solution, requiring a total of nine hosts for capacity. Which additional configuration options would satisfy the requirements of this project?

A. Deploy a VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC) with a single stand-alone cluster. Deploy a second stand-alone cluster into the SDDC in a separate region. Configure VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery to replicate and protect workloads to the second cluster.

B. Deploy a VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC) with a single stretched cluster across two separate availability zones. Configure the cluster to ensure that all virtual machines can be restarted in the second availability zone with a near zero recovery point objective (RPO) in the event of any environment or system failures.

C. Deploy a VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC) with a single stretched cluster across two separate regions. Configure the cluster to ensure that all virtual machines can be restarted in the second region with a near zero recovery point objective (RPO) in the event of any environment or system failures.

D. Deploy a VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC) with a single stand-alone cluster. Deploy a second SDDC with a stand-alone cluster into a different AWS region. Configure VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery to replicate and protect workloads to the second cluster.

What is a key functionality of the vRealize Automation Cloud Service Broker?

A. Provides a common catalog for easy consumption on VMware Cloud.

B. Manages blueprints as a code in a YAML format.

C. Automates the DevOps release lifecycle.

D. Creates and deploys virtual machines, applications, and services to multiple clouds.

When configuring Hybrid Linked Mode from the vCenter Cloud Gateway appliance, which groups are mapped from a customer's on-premises environment to the cloud?

A. LDAP Groups

B. vSphere Groups

C. Active Directory Groups

D. Local Groups
