Where can a VMware Aria Automation administrator use natural language to define target deployment sizes for a specific cloud account?
Answer : D
In VMware Aria Automation, administrators can use natural language to define target deployment sizes for specific cloud accounts within the Flavor Mappings configuration. Flavor Mappings allow administrators to abstractly define compute resource sizes (such as CPU, memory) that are then mapped to specific cloud infrastructure, enabling user-friendly definitions of deployment sizes.
Which two public cloud accounts are supported for VMware Aria Automation? (Choose two.)
Answer : B, D
VMware Aria Automation supports integration with various public cloud providers, including Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS). These integrations allow administrators to deploy and manage resources within these public cloud environments directly from VMware Aria Automation.
An administrator is preparing to deploy VMware Aria Automation as a POC (Proof of Concept). The administrator must minimize on the number of resources being consumed by the POC.
Which type of deployment architecture should the administrator use?
Answer : B
For a Proof of Concept (POC) deployment where the goal is to minimize resource consumption, a stand-alone deployment architecture is most suitable. This architecture involves a single instance of VMware Aria Automation, which requires fewer resources compared to a clustered or distributed architecture, making it ideal for POC environments.
An administrator configures a lease policy with the following settings:
Maximum lease (days): 10
Maximum total lease (days): 30
Grace period (days): 5
If a user does not respond to any emails, after how many days will the deployment be destroyed?
Answer : C
With the lease policy settings provided, the deployment will initially have a maximum lease of 10 days. If the user does not respond to any emails, the grace period of 5 days will come into effect after the lease expires, extending the total to 15 days. Since the maximum total lease is 30 days and considering the initial 10-day lease plus the 5-day grace period, if the user still does not respond, the deployment will be destroyed after the total of 35 days (30 days of total lease plus the 5-day grace period).
An administrator has been tasked with configuring a new image mapping for Linux deployments within VMware Aria Automation to meet the following requirements:
The number of Virtual Machine templates must be minimized.
Additional configuration (local users and groups) must always be applied irrespective of the cloud template used.
Which four steps should the administrator take to meet the requirement? (Choose four.)
Answer : C, E, F, G
To configure a new image mapping for Linux deployments with minimal templates and additional configuration, the administrator should:
Select the original Linux OS Virtual Machine template as the base image (F).
Apply user and group configurations to the Linux OS and convert it to a template (G).
Create a new Image Mapping within VMware Aria Automation Assembler (C).
Save the image mapping (E).
This process ensures that the base image is minimally modified and that essential configurations are applied consistently.
An administrator is looking to install VMware Aria Automation Config to integrate with existing VMware Aria Automation environment.
Which pre-requisite must be met to complete the installation using VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle?
Answer : B
To integrate VMware Aria Automation Config with an existing VMware Aria Automation environment, one fundamental prerequisite is access to a VMware Aria Automation tenant. This access ensures that the Config component can communicate and operate within the specific tenant's context, applying configurations and settings as needed.
Which two types of cloud accounts support IP address assignment in a network profile? (Choose two.)
Answer : C, D
IP address assignment in a network profile is crucial for defining how VMs obtain their IP addresses within specific cloud environments. VMware vCenter (C) and VMware Cloud on AWS (D) both support network profiles that can include static or dynamic IP address assignment, making them compatible with such configurations.
The two types of cloud accounts that support IP address assignment in a network profile are VMware vCenter and VMware Cloud on AWS. IP address assignment is the process of assigning IP addresses to the network interfaces of the provisioned resources. VMware Aria Automation supports three types of IP address assignment: static, dynamic, and mixed. Static IP address assignment means that VMware Aria Automation manages the IP address allocation from a predefined range. Dynamic IP address assignment means that an external DHCP server manages the IP address allocation. Mixed IP address assignment means that both VMware Aria Automation and an external DHCP server manage the IP address allocation. VMware vCenter and VMware Cloud on AWS cloud accounts support all three types of IP address assignment in a network profile. You can configure the IP address assignment type for each network in the network profile. The other cloud accounts, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud Platform, do not support IP address assignment in a network profile. They rely on the native IP address management of the cloud providers. You cannot configure the IP address assignment type for these cloud accounts in VMware Aria Automation.Reference:
