350-601 Compute Practice Question
A company is planning to deploy Cisco Intersight to manage a hybrid environment including on-premises UCS domains and AWS EC2 instances. Which THREE of the following are required components for integrating AWS with Intersight?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that a virtual appliance or VPN tunnel is required for cloud provider integration, but Intersight uses direct API calls over the internet, making network connectivity to AWS public endpoints the only network requirement.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
An Intersight account with appropriate licenses
A valid Intersight account with the appropriate licenses (e.g., Intersight Essentials or Premier) is required to enable the AWS integration feature. Without the proper license tier, the Intersight account cannot access the cloud orchestration or management capabilities needed to connect and manage external cloud providers like AWS.

An Intersight account with appropriate licenses
