Which two resource locations are supported for machines running the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) when using the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• ACitrix Cloud
• BOn-premises datacenter
• CAmazon Web Services (AWS)
• DVMware Workspace One

• A
  93% (50)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  6% (3)

Explanation

Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (CVAD) service uses a cloud-based control plane (Citrix Cloud) while VDAs can run either within Citrix Cloud-hosted infrastructure or in an on-premises datacenter connected back to Citrix Cloud via Cloud Connectors - making A and B the supported resource locations for this service model.

Why C is wrong: AWS is a public cloud hyperscaler, not a Citrix-defined "resource location" in the context of this service offering. Citrix has its own managed cloud infrastructure separate from third-party providers like AWS in this context.

Why D is wrong: VMware Workspace ONE is a Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) and digital workspace platform focused on device/app management - it is not an infrastructure location where VDAs are hosted or deployed.

Memory tip: Think "CC + On-Prem" - the Citrix Cloud service keeps control in the cloud but lets compute live either in Citrix's cloud or your own datacenter. If it doesn't fit one of those two buckets, it's not a supported VDA resource location for this service.
