Mateus R.Dec 3, 2025Dedicated Cloud is your answer, and here is why it clicks: think of it like renting an entire apartment building just for yourself instead of sharing a floor with strangers. That single-tenant isolation is exactly what "Dedicated Cloud" means, and VMware designed it specifically to connect back to on-premises vRealize Automation so your existing automation workflows plug right in without fighting over shared resources with other customers.
Johan G.Dec 5, 2025The apartment analogy holds but the vRA integration point is worth sharpening: it is VMware Cloud on AWS Dedicated Host that pairs with vRealize Automation via the Cloud Extensibility Proxy, so the automation handshake is a configured connector, not a built-in plug-and-play.
Samuel O.Nov 28, 2025Dedicated Cloud is the right call here, and the key phrase they're testing is "single-tenant," because Virtual Private Cloud will trip you up if you're not careful since it sounds like isolation but it's actually a shared multi-tenant environment. In the real world we used vCloud Air Dedicated Cloud specifically when a client had existing vRealize Automation they needed to hook into, and that single-tenant architecture is what made that integration clean.
Johan G.Nov 21, 2025I am going with D on this one and I feel pretty solid about it. The key phrase the question is giving you is "connected to an existing on-site vRealize Automation infrastructure," and that integration story, where you are extending a vRA endpoint out to vCloud Air, maps directly to the Disaster Recovery Cloud offering because it is built around tight coupling with your on-premises control plane. The single-tenant requirement fits too, since DR workloads that are replicated from a production environment need isolation to avoid noisy-neighbor interference during a failover event. Dedicated Cloud is a distractor here because it does not carry the native vRA integration hooks the way the DR offering does, and Virtual Private Cloud is multi-tenant underneath regardless of what the marketing says. Read the question stem as describing a DR topology and D falls right out of it.
Mateus R.Nov 22, 2025Johan, the DR offering is like renting a storage unit that only unlocks when your house catches fire, so it is purpose-built for failover events and not for running live workloads tied to your on-prem vRA, whereas Dedicated Cloud is the single-tenant environment VMware designed specifically for extending an existing vRA endpoint into vCloud Air as an active compute destination.
