When configuring VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (VCDR), with what can protection groups and disaster recovery plans be associated?

Question

Options

• AOnly a single vCenter Instance In the on-premises data center or VMware Cloud software-
• BMultiple vCenter instances in the same VMware Cloud software-defined data center (SDDC)
• CMultiple vCenter instances in the same VMware Cloud software-defined data center (SDDC)
• DOnly a single vCenter Instance in the VMware Cloud software-defined data center (SDDC) or

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  88% (35)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  8% (3)

Explanation

In VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery, protection groups and DR plans support association with multiple vCenter instances within the same VMware Cloud SDDC, giving organizations the flexibility to protect workloads managed across different vCenter deployments without being artificially limited to a single management point.

Options A and D are wrong because they both restrict association to only a single vCenter instance - this is the core misconception being tested. VCDR is designed for enterprise-scale environments where multiple vCenter instances commonly exist within one SDDC, so a single-instance limitation would make it far less practical. Option C appears to duplicate option B due to a likely formatting issue in the question; B is the intended correct answer as written.

Memory tip: Think "DR needs flexibility - if disaster strikes, you want multiple vCenter instances covered, not just one." Associate the word Disaster with Distributed (multiple vCenter instances) to remember that VCDR's protection scope spans across vCenter instances in the same SDDC.
