There are two vSphere clusters in a company environment.
One cluster is hosting development workloads and another is hosting production workloads.
Both vSphere clusters are managed by the same vCenter Server.
The application team would like to move a new virtual machine from the development to production cluster with no downtime.
Which feature would allow non-disruptive movement between these two clusters? (Choose the best answer.)

A. B. C. D.C.
The feature that allows non-disruptive movement of virtual machines between different vSphere clusters managed by the same vCenter Server is Cross vCenter Migration, which is also known as Cross vCenter vMotion.
Cross vCenter Migration allows the migration of a virtual machine between two vCenter Servers while the virtual machine is running without any disruption to the application. The source and destination vCenter Servers must be connected through a high-speed network with low latency to perform the migration.
In this scenario, the application team wants to move a new virtual machine from the development to production cluster with no downtime. Cross vCenter Migration allows them to move the virtual machine from one cluster to another without any service interruption.
Option B, vSphere High Availability (HA), is a feature that provides high availability for virtual machines in the event of a host failure. vSphere HA does not migrate virtual machines between clusters, and it is not designed to perform migrations.
Option C, vSphere vMotion, is a feature that allows the migration of a running virtual machine from one host to another within the same cluster. vSphere vMotion is not designed to move virtual machines between different clusters.
Option D, vSphere Replication, is a feature that allows the replication of virtual machines from one vSphere environment to another. vSphere Replication does not perform live migrations and is not designed for moving virtual machines between clusters.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. Cross vCenter Migration.
