Which two requirements must be met before the migration can occur?

A cloud administrator wants to migrate a virtual machine using VMware vSphere vMotlon from their on-premises data center to their VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC), using an existing private line to the cloud SDDC.

Which two requirements must be met before the migration can occur? (Choose two.)
A . The versions of VMware vSphere need to match between the on-premises data center and the cloud SDDC.
B . A Layer 2 connection is configured between the on-premises data center and the cloud SDDC.
C . AWS Direct Connect is configured between the on-premises data center and the cloud SDDC.
D . IPsec VPN is configured between the on-premises data center and the cloud SDDC.
E . Cluster-level Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) is configured in the on-premises data center and the cloud SDDC.

Answer: BC

Explanation:

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.
