AZ-305 Question #439: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Hotspot Question You have an on-premises VMware environment that contains a vCenter Server instance and two ESXi hosts. You have an Azure subscription. You are designing a solution to migrate the virtual machines from the VMware environment to an Azure VMware Solution private cloud. You need to recommend which type of connection to use for the migration and the minimum number of hosts required for the Azure VMware Solution private cloud. The solution must minimize costs and provide full integration between the network in the Azure VMware Solution private cloud, the on-premises VMware network, and other Azure virtual networks. What should you recommend? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Explanation

This question tests knowledge of Azure VMware Solution (AVS) connectivity options and minimum host requirements for a private cloud deployment that supports full network integration.

Approach. For the connection type, ExpressRoute is the correct recommendation because it provides full integration between the AVS private cloud, on-premises VMware network, and other Azure virtual networks with high bandwidth and low latency - and is required for full AVS integration (not just a VPN). For the minimum number of hosts, Azure VMware Solution requires a minimum of 3 hosts to form a private cloud cluster, as this is the minimum supported configuration for vSAN storage and cluster redundancy. A 3-host configuration satisfies the minimum while minimizing costs compared to larger deployments.

Concept tested. Azure VMware Solution (AVS) requires ExpressRoute for full network integration between the private cloud, on-premises VMware environment, and Azure virtual networks. A Site-to-Site VPN would not provide full integration with all Azure virtual networks in the same way. The minimum host count for an AVS private cloud is 3, as vSAN requires at least 3 hosts for fault tolerance (FTT=1) and AVS does not support fewer than 3 hosts in a cluster.
