View Answer

Answer: A, E

Explanation:

According to the VMware vRealize Operations Reference Materials, two of the public cloud providers that are supported out-of-the-box in vRealize Operations What-If planning for public cloud costs are Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. The What-If planning feature allows the administrator to compare the cost of running workloads in different public cloud providers, such as AWS, IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud. The administrator can select the public cloud provider, the region, and the instance type, and then run the scenario to see the estimated monthly cost for the selected workloads. The administrator can also compare up to three public cloud providers at a time. The other options are incorrect because they are not supported out-of-the-box in vRealize Operations What-If planning for public cloud costs. Salesforce Cloud and Oracle Cloud are not among the public cloud providers that are available by default in vRealize Operations. However, the administrator can create a custom public cloud provider and upload a rate card to include them in the What-If planning. Alibaba Cloud is supported out-of-the-box in vRealize Operations What-If planning for public cloud costs, but it is not one of the correct answers, as only two options are required.
