VMware Cloud on AWS Master Specialist Free Sample Questions

A financial services firm is migrating a legacy monolithic application to VMware Cloud on AWS. The application has high inter-VM latency sensitivity. During the planning phase, the architect needs to ensure that specific VMs within the application tier remain on the same physical host to minimize network latency. Which vSphere feature should be configured in the SDDC to achieve this requirement?

A retail company is using vRealize Network Insight Cloud to analyze traffic flows before migrating their e-commerce platform to VMware Cloud on AWS. The goal is to create a micro-segmentation strategy. After a week of data collection, the security team needs to identify all traffic flows to and from the production database servers that are using unencrypted protocols. Which feature within vRealize Network Insight Cloud is best suited for this specific task?

During a routine audit, an administrator discovers that several development VMs in a VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC have been configured with a storage policy providing RAID-6 (Erasure Coding), which is consuming more capacity than necessary for a non-production environment. The administrator needs to create and apply a new, more space-efficient storage policy for these VMs. Which TWO settings would be appropriate for a space-efficient policy in a multi-host cluster? (Select TWO)

A university is designing a VMware Cloud on AWS solution for a new virtual computer lab. The primary requirement is to minimize costs, as usage will be highly variable, with peaks during final exams and very low usage during summer break. The solution must automatically scale the cluster size based on memory utilization to avoid paying for idle hosts. Which Elastic DRS policy should be configured?

True or False: When using VMware HCX Replication Assisted vMotion (RAV), a complete switchover to the destination site can be scheduled for a future maintenance window, minimizing the downtime required during the final cutover.

An administrator is troubleshooting a connectivity issue where on-premises VMs cannot communicate with VMs in a VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC over a newly configured route-based IPsec VPN. The VPN tunnel status is 'Up' in the NSX Manager. The administrator has verified that firewall rules on both the on-premises gateway and the SDDC Compute Gateway allow the traffic. What is the most likely remaining cause of the connectivity failure?

A healthcare organization is deploying a new electronic health record (EHR) system on VMware Cloud on AWS. To meet HIPAA compliance requirements, all log data from the SDDC (including vCenter, ESXi, and NSX) must be forwarded to a centralized, compliant SIEM solution for long-term retention and analysis. The organization is already using vRealize Log Insight Cloud. What is the correct procedure to meet this requirement?

An administrator needs to provide a junior colleague with the ability to create, delete, and manage virtual machines within a specific resource pool in the SDDC, but prevent them from making any changes to cluster-level settings like DRS or HA. What is the most effective way to grant these specific permissions?

A media company wants to extend their on-premises data center to VMware Cloud on AWS to handle burst rendering workloads. They need a high-bandwidth, low-latency, private connection. The on-premises data center is located in an AWS Direct Connect enabled facility. They have already provisioned a 10 Gbps Direct Connect connection. Which type of virtual interface (VIF) must be configured on the Direct Connect connection to establish private connectivity to the SDDC?

Case Study:

A global logistics company, 'ShipFast', is planning a full data center evacuation to VMware Cloud on AWS. Their on-premises environment consists of 500 VMs with a total of 2000 vCPU, 8TB RAM, and 150TB of utilized storage. The workloads include Oracle databases, web servers, and custom Java applications. An analysis with Live Optics shows an average of 80,000 IOPS with a 70/30 read/write ratio. The CIO has mandated that the new cloud environment must support disaster recovery to a different AWS region with an RPO of 15 minutes.

The project team must select the appropriate host type and size the initial SDDC. They also need to choose a DR solution. The primary goal is to balance performance for the database workloads with overall cost-effectiveness. The migration must be completed within three months with minimal downtime for critical applications.

Which combination of host type and disaster recovery solution best meets ShipFast's requirements?
