VMware Certified Professional - Cloud Management and Automation Practice Exam 2025: Latest Questions

An organization wants to allow developers to provision workloads in VMware Aria Automation while ensuring those workloads are placed only on a specific vSphere cluster reserved for development. Which configuration best meets this requirement?

A cloud administrator needs to ensure that all deployments created from a set of cloud templates automatically receive a project-specific cost center tag for reporting. Which approach is the most appropriate?

In a VMware Aria Automation cloud template, an architect wants a network to be created only if the user selects an optional feature. Which design is best to implement this behavior?

A customer needs to integrate VMware Aria Automation with an enterprise identity provider so users can sign in using corporate credentials and group membership can be used for access control. What is the recommended integration approach?

A team reports that deployments to AWS are failing in VMware Aria Automation with authorization errors when attempting to create instances. The cloud account test connection succeeds, but provisioning fails. What is the most likely cause?

A cloud template must deploy a VM and attach an additional disk whose size is provided by the requester. The architect also wants to prevent disk sizes smaller than 20 GB or larger than 200 GB. Which template design best meets the requirement?

An administrator needs to ensure that only a specific set of instance sizes can be provisioned in a public cloud from VMware Aria Automation to control cost. Which capability is best suited to enforce this?

A cloud template uses an existing network and assigns static IP addresses from an IPAM source. Deployments intermittently fail with errors indicating no IP addresses are available. What is the best operational response to reduce recurrence?

A company uses VMware Aria Automation with multiple regions in a public cloud. They want a single cloud template that deploys to the region selected by the requester, while still enforcing that only approved regions are selectable per project. Which design best fulfills both requirements?

After an outage, an administrator needs to restore VMware Aria Automation service quickly. Which architectural best practice most directly improves recoverability while minimizing data loss for critical components?

An administrator is preparing to onboard VMware Aria Automation and wants to use the simplest authentication method that supports single sign-on with existing corporate identities. Which integration is the recommended approach?

A Cloud Administrator needs project members to deploy to AWS, but must prevent them from creating public IP addresses. Which control best enforces this requirement in VMware Aria Automation?

A developer wants a cloud template to deploy the same application to different regions without editing the template each time. Which feature best supports this goal?

A cloud template includes a Cloud.Machine resource. Deployments intermittently fail with a placement error stating no valid compute was found. The administrator confirms compute exists but notes hosts are missing required tags. What is the most likely cause?

A company needs to delegate infrastructure administration to two teams. Team A should manage cloud accounts and zones, while Team B should only create and manage templates and catalog items. What is the best practice for implementing this in VMware Aria Automation?

A template author wants to pass configuration data to a configuration management system after deployment. The data must include the VM’s IP address and be sent automatically as part of the deployment. Which approach best meets this requirement?

A Cloud Administrator wants to ensure that only specific networks can be consumed by a project when deploying to vSphere. Which configuration provides the most direct control in VMware Aria Automation?

A template needs to deploy two application tiers where the web tier must be created before the application tier configuration runs, and the application tier must receive the web tier IP as an input. Which design best accomplishes this?

After onboarding a new cloud account, resources do not appear in Aria Automation and deployments fail with authorization errors. The cloud provider shows successful authentication, but the integration user has minimal permissions. What should the administrator do FIRST to resolve the issue following best practices?

An organization requires that all deployments automatically receive a cost center tag and that users cannot modify or omit it. The tag must also be used for reporting/chargeback. Which approach is most appropriate?

An administrator needs to publish a catalog item that allows users to request a VM while preventing them from changing CPU and memory sizes. Which approach is the MOST appropriate in VMware Aria Automation?

A tenant reports that deployments to vSphere fail with an error indicating that no placement is available for the selected project, even though the cluster has sufficient free resources. Which configuration issue is the MOST likely cause?

A cloud administrator wants to enforce that all deployed machines automatically join the corporate Active Directory domain and receive a standard set of post-provisioning configuration steps. The organization wants this behavior to be consistent across multiple templates. What is the BEST solution?

An enterprise plans to deploy VMware Aria Automation in a highly available architecture and wants to minimize the impact of a single node failure. Which design choice BEST supports this requirement?

A cloud template includes a network resource and a machine resource. The deployment fails during provisioning with an error that the requested network cannot be allocated for the project. The network exists in vCenter and is available to other projects. What is the MOST likely fix within VMware Aria Automation?
