A cloud administrator wants to migrate a virtual machine using VMware vSphere vMotion 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.)
To migrate a virtual machine using VMware vSphere vMotion from an on-premises data center to VMware Cloud on AWS using vMotion, it is necessary to have a direct, low-latency connection to support the live migration of workloads. AWS Direct Connect (option C) provides a dedicated connection that ensures reliable and high-bandwidth connectivity necessary for vMotion. Additionally, IPsec VPN (option D) helps in securely extending the on-premises network to the VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC, which is crucial for the migration process. Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) does not require configuration in VMware Cloud on AWS as it is managed by VMware, and while having matching VMware vSphere versions may be recommended, it is not a strict requirement for migration.
For a successful vMotion migration from the on-premises data center to VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC), the following requirements need to be met: B. A Layer 2 connection is configured between the on-premises data center and the cloud SDDC. This is because vMotion between on-premises and VMware Cloud on AWS requires the VM to retain its IP address, so a Layer 2 connection is needed. E. Cluster-level Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) is configured in the on-premises data center and the cloud SDDC. EVC ensures that VMs remain compatible with the hosts in both the source and target locations. This means even if there are CPU discrepancies between on-premises and VMware Cloud on AWS hosts, VMs can still be migrated without issues.

Based on the doc link below
A and E are definitely wrong, B is misleading (L2 'connection' not L2VPN) so it must be CD based on https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-on-AWS/services/com.vmware.vmc-aws-operations/GUID-1A175E91-2317-4261-A63E-B398D92ECE8D.html

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.
E is not supported on AWS, EVC cannot be enabled on cloud SDDC, A; versions do not need to match, min on prem is 6.7. B; trick answer if it said L2VPN it could be correct. Only C and D are remaining correct answers
Given the point that we'd have to use an "existing private line", I'd actually exclude B, C and D, also because all of them can be L2 connects.
I will say B & C as it states an existing private line already exists between on-prem and the SDDC.
I choose in my head C&D which seems to me the right answers
CD are correct
