1Y0-312 Migration and Cloud Integration Practice Question
An administrator is migrating an on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 site to Citrix DaaS. The on-premises site currently uses Provisioning Services (PVS) to stream images to 500 virtual desktops. The administrator wants to continue using PVS during and after the migration. Which statement accurately describes the supported configuration for PVS in a Citrix DaaS deployment?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that migrating to Citrix DaaS forces a conversion from PVS to MCS, when in fact PVS remains supported for on-premises resource locations.
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
✓
Citrix DaaS supports PVS provisioning for on-premises resource locations, but the PVS servers must reside in the same resource location as the VDAs and be managed through Citrix Cloud Studio.
Citrix DaaS supports Provisioning Services for on-premises resource locations, allowing administrators to keep their existing PVS infrastructure while moving the control plane to Citrix Cloud. The PVS servers and target devices must reside in the same resource location, and management is performed through Citrix Cloud Studio. This hybrid approach enables a gradual migration without re-architecting the provisioning method.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Citrix DaaS supports PVS provisioning for on-premises resource locations, but the PVS servers must reside in the same resource location as the VDAs and be managed through Citrix Cloud Studio.
Why this is correct
This is correct because Citrix DaaS supports PVS for on-premises resource locations, and both PVS servers and target devices must be in the same resource location. Citrix Cloud Studio can manage the PVS provisioning, but the infrastructure remains on-premises. This allows organizations to retain their existing PVS investment while migrating the control plane to Citrix Cloud.
- ✗
Citrix DaaS supports PVS provisioning only for session hosts in a Citrix Gateway deployment, and the PVS servers must be located in a different resource location to provide high availability.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because PVS is not limited to Citrix Gateway deployments, and PVS servers should be in the same resource location as the VDAs for optimal performance and to avoid unnecessary network traffic. Placing PVS servers in a different resource location would introduce latency and is not a supported best practice.
- ✗
Citrix DaaS supports PVS only when the PVS servers are hosted in Citrix Cloud and the VDAs are on-premises, using a Cloud Connector for communication.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because PVS servers cannot be hosted in Citrix Cloud; they must run on-premises within the resource location. Cloud Connectors facilitate communication between Citrix Cloud and on-premises resources, but they do not host PVS. The PVS infrastructure, including the streaming service, remains on-premises.
- ✗
Citrix DaaS requires that all PVS-streamed VDAs be converted to Machine Creation Services (MCS) before migration, because PVS is not supported in any Citrix DaaS deployment model.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because PVS is supported in Citrix DaaS for on-premises resource locations. There is no requirement to convert to MCS. While MCS is often used for cloud-hosted workloads, PVS remains a valid option for on-premises resources, especially when leveraging existing PVS infrastructure and image management workflows.
