       - question: Are there special instructions for installing and using VMRC with Azure VMware Solution VMs?
         answer: No. To meet the VM prerequisites, follow the [instructions provided by VMware](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-89E7E8F0-DB2B-437F-8F70-BA34C505053F.html).

       - question: Can I migrate vSphere VMs from on-premises environments to Azure VMware Solution private clouds?
-        answer: Yes. VM migration and vMotion can be used to move VMs to a private cloud if standard cross vCenter [vMotion requirements](https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2106952?lang=en_US&queryTerm=2106952) are met.

       - question: Do I need to restrict access from the internet to VMs on logical networks in a private cloud?
         answer: No. Network traffic inbound from the internet directly to private clouds isn't allowed by default.  However, you're able to expose Azure VMware Solution VMs to the internet through the [Public IP](./enable-public-internet-access.md) option in your Azure portal for your Azure VMware Solution private cloud.

         answer: Use the *thin_provision* storage policy for your VM template.
 
       - question: What is the storage capacity of each host?
         answer: Each ESXi host has two vSAN disk groups with a capacity tier of 15.2TB and a 3.2-TB NVMe cache tier (1.6 TB in each disk group).      
 
       - question: Is data stored on the vSAN datastores encrypted at rest?
-        answer: Yes, vSAN datastores use data-at-rest encryption by default using keys stored in Azure Key Vault. The encryption solution is KMS-based and supports vCenter operations for key management.  When a host is removed from a cluster, data on SSDs is invalidated immediately.

       - question: Can I rename a datastore or cluster during creation?
         answer: No, you can't change the name of datastores or clusters. The cluster name is configurable through non-portal deployment mechanisms for non-primary clusters.
 
       - question: What is the Fault tolerance of hardware failure on the vSAN?
-        answer: |
-          RAID-1, FTT-1, with Object Space reservation set to Thin Provisioning is the Default Storage policy for the software-defined datacenters (SDDCs).
+        answer: RAID-1, FTT-1, with Object Space reservation set to Thin Provisioning is the Default Storage policy for the software-defined datacenters (SDDCs).
           
       - question: What is the difference between thick provisioning and thin provisioning? 
         answer: Thick provisioning is reserved or pre-allocated storage space.  Thick provisioning protects systems by allowing them to function even if the vSAN datastore is full because the space is already reserved. For example, suppose you create a 10GB virtual disk with thick provisioning. In that case, the full amount of virtual disk storage capacity is pre-allocated on the physical storage where the virtual disk is created and consumes all the space allocated to it in the datastore.  It won't allow other VMs to share the space from the datastore. A thin-provisioned virtual disk consumes the space that it needs initially and grows to the data space demand used in the datastore.
 
       - question: How many disks can fail on the vSAN before data loss occurs? 
-        answer: It depends on how you plan your application workloads to run inside the SDDC (private cloud). Microsoft governs these failures regularly and replaces the hardware when such events are detected from an infrastructure perspective. As a default, a setting of FFT-1 is used, which accommodates a single host's failure.

       - question: What kind of alerts can I expect to see for vSAN? 
         answer: Microsoft provides alerts when capacity consumption exceeds 75%. Alternatively, you can also monitor capacity consumption metrics that are integrated into Azure Monitor.
