Zorluk: Çok zorHybrid and VMware Cloud on AWS Migrations

An enterprise is planning to migrate a hybrid portfolio of VMware vSphere-based workloads to AWS. The workload consists of two main tiers:

- Tier 1: Active-active transaction processing VMs (3030 VMs, 12 TB12\text{ TB} total storage) that have strict zero-downtime requirements (no service interruption during migration) and require preservation of IP addresses because of hardcoded application dependencies.
- Tier 2: Batch processing and reporting workloads (150150 VMs, 45 TB45\text{ TB} total storage) that can tolerate a brief service interruption (reboot) of up to 30 minutes30\text{ minutes} during the final cutover, but data replication must occur continuously to minimize the final cutover window.

Network connectivity is established via a 10 Gbps10\text{ Gbps} Dedicated AWS Direct Connect connection terminating at a customer-managed transit router. The target architecture includes a VMware Cloud (VMC) on AWS Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) and three native AWS spoke VPCs in a multi-account organization. Private DNS resolution must be maintained across on-premises, VMC on AWS SDDC, and native VPC workloads.

Which combination of migration and networking configuration steps should the solutions architect implement to meet these requirements with the least operational overhead? (Select THREE.)

  1. Use VMware HCX Replication-Assisted vMotion (RAV) to migrate Tier 1 VMs, utilizing an HCX L2 Network Extension to stretch the broadcast domain and maintain IP addresses with zero service downtime.Cevap
  2. Use VMware HCX Bulk Migration to perform scheduled, low-downtime migrations of Tier 2 VMs, allowing replication to occur in the background and performing a virtual machine reboot during cutover.Cevap
  3. Connect the VMC on AWS SDDC to a VMware Cloud Transit Connect (VTGW), associate the VTGW with the Direct Connect Gateway (DXGW) for hybrid connectivity, and peer the customer-managed AWS Transit Gateway (TGW) with the VTGW to enable routing between the native VPCs and the SDDC.Cevap
  4. D
    Use AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) to replicate the Tier 1 database and application VMs directly to native EC2 instances over the stretched layer 2 network to achieve zero-downtime migrations.
  5. E
    Associate the Route 53 Private Hosted Zones (PHZs) of the native VPCs directly with the VMC on AWS SDDC management VPC to ensure seamless cross-environment private DNS resolution.
  6. F
    Configure the Direct Connect Gateway (DXGW) to route traffic transitively between the native spoke VPCs and the VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC over the Direct Connect link without establishing a Transit Gateway.

Cevap

Use VMware HCX Replication-Assisted vMotion (RAV) to migrate Tier 1 VMs, VMware HCX Bulk Migration for Tier 2 VMs, and connect VMC on AWS SDDC using VMware Cloud Transit Connect (VTGW) peered with the customer-managed AWS Transit Gateway (TGW).
The correct answer combines VMware HCX Replication-Assisted vMotion (RAV) with L2 Network Extension to migrate Tier 1 VMs live with no downtime, uses HCX Bulk Migration to replicate Tier 2 VMs in the background with a scheduled reboot, and uses VMware Cloud Transit Connect (VTGW) peered with a customer-managed AWS Transit Gateway (TGW) to build a fully routed hybrid network path across native VPCs, the VMC SDDC, and the on-premises environment.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Tier 1 migration requirements: zero downtime and preservation of IP addresses.
Determine that VMware HCX Replication-Assisted vMotion (RAV) along with HCX L2 Network Extension is required because it allows live migration without state loss or IP modification.
RAV supports zero-downtime migrations by utilizing vMotion over a stretched Layer 2 network, matching the strict SLA.
2
Analyze Tier 2 migration requirements: bulk migration of 150 VMs with up to 30 minutes downtime allowed.
Select VMware HCX Bulk Migration, which handles parallel background replication and triggers a virtual machine reboot during cutover.
Bulk migration is optimized for large-scale migrations where a brief downtime is acceptable for final cutover.
3
Design the network connectivity architecture for native VPCs, VMC SDDC, and on-premises.
Connect VMC SDDC to VMware Cloud Transit Connect (VTGW), associate the VTGW with the DXGW, and peer the customer-managed TGW with the VTGW.
This establishes valid transitive routing paths across VMC SDDC, native VPCs, and on-premises over the Direct Connect connection.
