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 preparing to deploy only VMware Aria Automation using the clustered deployment model.
Which three ports are required for the successful communication between VMware Aria Automation components? (Choose three.)
Answer : B, D, E
For VMware Aria Automation components to communicate successfully in a clustered deployment, certain ports must be open. Typically, port 443 (HTTPS) is required for secure web traffic, port 80 (HTTP) for web traffic redirection to HTTPS, and port 8008 might be used for internal communication purposes among VMware Aria Automation components.
Within VMware Aria Automation Assembler, what would an administrator configure to allow a flavor mapping to be selected?
Answer : A
Within VMware Aria Automation Assembler, an administrator would configure a flavor mapping to be selected in the VMware Aria Automation Cloud zones. A flavor mapping groups a set of target deployment sizings for a specific cloud account/region in VMware Aria Automation using natural language naming. Flavor mapping lets you create a named mapping that contains similar flavor sizings across your account regions. For example, a flavor map named standard_small might contain a similar flavor sizing (such as 1 CPU, 2 GB RAM) for some or all available account/regions in your project. When you build a cloud template, you pick an available flavor that fits your needs. You can organize flavor mappings for your project by deployment intent. You can also select a pre-configuration option when you add a new cloud account, which will select the most popular flavor mapping and image mapping for the specified region. The other options, VMware Aria Automation Templates, VMware Aria Automation Custom forms, and VMware Aria Automation Projects, are not the places where you can configure the flavor mapping for VMware Aria Automation Assembler.Reference:

To allow a flavor mapping to be selected within VMware Aria Automation Assembler, it's typically configured within the VMware Aria Automation Cloud Zones (A). Cloud Zones define the specific compute resources available for deployment, and flavor mappings are associated with these zones to specify the virtual hardware configurations for VMs.
