In a hybrid deployment, the VDA that will register with a Citrix Cloud-managed Site should communicate with which component located on-premises?

• A. Delivery Controller
• B. Cloud Connector
• C. Delivery Controller, Citrix Cloud
• D. Cloud Connector, on-premises

Answer: (D)

In a hybrid deployment with a Citrix Cloud-managed site, the on‑prem VDA registers through the cloud bridge rather than directly with a traditional on‑prem broker. The on‑prem Cloud Connector is the component that mediates between your local resources and Citrix Cloud, providing the broker service and the secure channel to the cloud control plane. Therefore, the VDA should communicate with the Cloud Connector located on‑premises so it can register and receive its brokered entitlements through that bridge. The Delivery Controller on its own isn’t the endpoint for VDA registration in this cloud-managed hybrid setup, and communicating straight to Citrix Cloud bypasses the necessary on‑prem broker bridge.
