What must an engineer consider when deploying an SD-WAN on-premises architecture based on ESXi hypervisor?
The correct answer is C. The IT team is required to provision the SD-WAN controllers and is responsible for backups and disaster recovery implementation. When deploying Cisco SD-WAN controllers on an on-premises ESXi hypervisor, the local IT team is fully responsible for provisioning, managing backups, and implementing disaster recovery for the virtualized controllers.
Question
Options
- AThe IT team must provision the backup and snapshots platform for the SD-WAN architecture.

Why each option
When deploying Cisco SD-WAN controllers on an on-premises ESXi hypervisor, the local IT team is fully responsible for provisioning, managing backups, and implementing disaster recovery for the virtualized controllers.
While provisioning backup and snapshots is part of the responsibility, this choice is less comprehensive than option C, which includes the initial provisioning of controllers and full disaster recovery implementation.
In an on-premises deployment on an ESXi hypervisor, the customer's IT team is responsible for the entire lifecycle of the virtual machines, including provisioning the SD-WAN controllers, configuring their virtual infrastructure, and managing all aspects of data protection like backups and disaster recovery implementation.
