2V0-33.22PSE VMware Cloud Professional Free Practice Exam Questions (2025 Updated)

Compatible top of rack switches are necessary to ensure that the data center is able to support the VMware Cloud on Dell EMC or VMware Cloud on AWS Outposts deployments [1]. The switches must support 10GE and 25GE ports, as well as Layer 3 routing protocols such as OSPF and BGP.

Dedicated subnets for SDDC management network are also needed for the deployment of VMware Cloud on Dell EMC or VMware Cloud on AWS Outposts [1]. The SDDC management network will be used for communication between the VMware Cloud components and the data center, and must be isolated from the customer network.

VMware vSAN is a distributed storage platform that is integrated into the VMware Cloud software-defined data center (SDDC). It provides policy-based storage management, allowing cloud administrators to define storage policies that can be applied to virtual machines and other workloads. These policies govern how data is stored, replicated, and secured, and are used to ensure that data is stored in a consistent and compliant manner.

Tanzu Kubernetes clusters can be deployed in a VMware Cloud environment using the VMware Cloud Console. The VMware Cloud Console provides a user-friendly interface that allows users to quickly deploy and manage Tanzu Kubernetes clusters. The standard open-source kubectl can also be used to deploy Tanzu Kubernetes clusters. However, this requires a more in-depth knowledge of the kubectl command-line interface. Additionally, users can use the vSphere Plugin for kubectl to deploy and manage Tanzu Kubernetes clusters. This plugin provides a graphical user interface to manage the clusters, as well as additional features such as the ability to make cluster-level changes

For migrating a virtual machine using VMware vSphere vMotion from an on-premises data center to VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC, specific network requirements must be met. A Layer 2 connection (B) ensures that VMs can retain the same IP address and network settings post-migration, facilitating seamless migration without the need for reconfiguration. AWS Direct Connect (C) establishes a dedicated network connection between the on-premises data center and AWS, providing a more reliable and consistent network experience compared to internet-based connections. This setup is crucial for high-bandwidth, low-latency connections required by vMotion to efficiently transfer VM memory and state information during migration.

A private network segment is an isolated network segment that is used for disaster recovery testing. Private network segments provide a secure and isolated environment for testing, allowing administrators to test their disaster recovery plans without risking the stability of their production environment. Private network segments also provide additional security, as they are not connected to the public internet, making them less vulnerable to external attacks. [1]

To allow HTTPS access to a specific VM through the public Internet for VMware Cloud on AWS, the administrator should take the following two steps:

Request a public IP address in the VMware Cloud console. This is required because the VM needs a public IP address to be reachable from the Internet1. The administrator can request a public IP address from the Networking & Security tab in the VMware Cloud console1. The public IP address is allocated from the AWS pool and is associated with the SDDC1.

Configure a DNAT rule translating a public IP address to an internal IP address. This is required because the VM has an internal IP address assigned by the SDDC DHCP server, and the DNAT rule maps the public IP address to the internal IP address of the VM2. The administrator can configure a DNAT rule from the Networking & Security tab in the VMware Cloud console2. The DNAT rule must specify the public IP address as the source, the internal IP address as the destination, and the HTTPS service (TCP 443) as the applied to2. References: 1: Request a Public IP Address - VMware Docs, 2: Configure NAT Rules - VMware Docs

To deploy an instance of Azure VMware Solutions, an administrator must take the following two steps:

Create a support request with Microsoft Azure Support to create a host quota. This is required because Azure VMware Solution hosts are dedicated bare-metal servers that are not shared with other customers1. The host quota determines the number and size of hosts that can be provisioned in a subscription1. The host quota can be requested for an eligible Azure plan, such as Microsoft Enterprise Agreement or Cloud Solution Provider2.

Deploy and configure Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute. This is required because Azure VMware Solution uses ExpressRoute to connect the private cloud to the Azure virtual network and the on-premises network3. ExpressRoute provides a secure, high-bandwidth, and low-latency connection that enables seamless workload migration and hybrid cloud scenarios3. The administrator must deploy and configure an ExpressRoute circuit, a virtual network gateway, and a virtual network3. References: 1: Deploy and configure Azure VMware Solution, 2: Plan the Azure VMware Solution deployment, 3: Tutorial: Deploy an Azure VMware Solution private cloud

VMware Cloud on AWS Outposts (A):

On-premises VMware Environment: This solution deploys a VMware SDDC (Software-Defined Data Center) as a fully managed service offering on your premises. It provides a consistent VMware environment that is maintained and operated by VMware and AWS.

Reduced OpEx and CapEx: Outposts eliminates the need to purchase and maintain hardware, reducing both capital and operational expenses.

Regulatory Compliance: The on-premises deployment ensures that data remains within your data center boundaries, addressing regulatory concerns.

VMware Cloud on Dell EMC (B):

Hybrid Cloud with Hardware Ownership: This solution brings VMware's software-defined stack onto Dell EMC hardware that remains under your ownership. Dell EMC manages the hardware lifecycle, reducing some operational burden.

OpEx Savings: This solution shifts some operational costs to a subscription-based model, helping to reduce operational expenses compared to full hardware ownership.

Regulatory Compliance: Similar to Outposts, deployment in your datacenter helps address potential regulatory requirements for data sovereignty.

Why Other Options Are Less Ideal:

VMware Cloud Foundation (C): While a great on-premises SDDC solution, it primarily addresses operational efficiency but doesn't inherently reduce capital expenditures (as you still need to own the hardware).

Oracle Cloud VMware Solution (D) & VMware Cloud on AWS (E): These are public cloud solutions and wouldn't meet the regulatory requirement of keeping the applications on-premises.

The two use cases that apply to NSX logical routing are A. You must provide external connectivity to VMs and containers, and B. Your organization must provide connectivity between VMs and containers that are connected to different segments. NSX logical routing allows you to provide external connectivity to VMs and containers, and to provide layer 3 connectivity between VMs and containers that are connected to different segments. It does not provide layer 2 connectivity between VMs and microservices or intrinsic security for VMs connected to different segments.

RAID-1 is a mirror configuration that provides high availability by creating multiple copies of a VMDK. RAID-5 and RAID-6 are erasure coding configurations that provide fault tolerance by distributing data and parity across multiple hosts.

The number of failures to tolerate (FTT) determines how many copies or parity blocks are created for each VMDK. For example, RAID-1 FTT = 2 means that there are three copies of each VMDK.

Therefore, based on your requirements, a possible VM storage policy setting could be RAID-1 FTT = 2, which would provide redundancy at the highest level possible with six hosts.

"The VMware HCX on-premises deployment requires five IP addresses: two for the WAN appliance, two for the vMotion feature, and one for the management network." 

In this scenario, the cloud administrator is utilizing the vMotion feature of VMware HCX to migrate several dozen workloads from an on-premises location to a VMware public cloud. They are also stretching three networks for the migration. When using vMotion, two IP addresses will be needed per vMotioned virtual machine: one for the source and one for the target. For the migration of several dozen workloads, this will require several dozens of IP addresses. Additionally, the administrator is also utilizing the capabilities of the WAN appliance to optimize migration traffic. In order to optimize the traffic, one IP address will be needed for the WAN appliance on the on-premises site, and another IP address will be needed for the WAN appliance on the public cloud side. Therefore, the total number of IP addresses that need to be reserved for the on-premises deployment of VMware HCX is the number of IP addresses required for the virtual machines plus one IP address for the WAN appliance on the on-premises site plus another IP address for the WAN appliance on the public cloud side, which totals to five IP addresses.

The VMware technology that ensures availability of the VMs in your SDDC and uses multiple ESXi hosts to provide rapid recovery from outages and cost-effective high availability for applications is B. vSphere HA. vSphere HA is an agentless cluster-level availability solution that enables rapid recovery from outages and cost-effective high availability for applications. vSphere DRaaS, vSphere DPM, and vSphere eDRS are not suitable for this purpose.

The best solution for enabling network extension from the cloud side to the on-premises data center in this scenario is to ensure that the on-premises environment has at least a VMware vSphere Distributed Switch with version 6.5 configured. This will enable the reverse L2E feature, which is necessary for extending the native layer 2 network segment from the cloud back into the on-premises data center. For more information on how to configure reverse L2E and extend a network segment from the cloud to the on-premises data center, please refer to the official VMware documentation here.

When a VPN is established between the data center and the SDDC Instance, it allows the organization to create a private and secure connection between their on-premises infrastructure and their workloads running in the cloud. By advertising a 0.0.0.0/0 route, the organization is essentially routing all traffic to the VPN tunnel, which means that all traffic including traffic destined for the data center and internet traffic, will be sent through the VPN tunnel to the company's data center.

It is important to note that this configuration depends on the company's network architecture and security policies, and that there may be other alternatives that better fit the organization's needs.

The three types of gateways that can be found in VMware Cloud on AWS are Option A: Distributed Tier-1, Option B: Standard Tier-1, and Option D: Compute Tier-1.

Distributed Tier-1 gateways are used for secure access between on-premises networks and the VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC network. Standard Tier-1 gateways are used for secure access between the VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC network and the public internet. Compute Tier-1 gateways are used for secure access between the workloads running on the VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC and the public internet.

For more information, please refer to the official VMware documentation on VMware Cloud on AWS Gateways: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-on-AWS/services/com.vmware.vmc-aws.networking/GUID-1F2D1BFC-F5C7-4534-8B49-39F9D08E7F1A.html
