VCP-CMA 2024 Question 193
Select 3You are tasked with creating a new deployment in VMware Aria Automation. The deployment requires a virtual machine with specific CPU and memory configurations. Instead of defining these specifications directly in the blueprint, you decide to use a flavor mapping to simplify the process. Which of the following actions are required to successfully configure and use a flavor mapping in this scenario?
- A
Define a flavor mapping that specifies the CPU and memory combinations.
- B
Assign the flavor mapping to a cloud zone in VMware Aria Automation.
- C
Reference the flavor mapping in the blueprint using the 'flavor' property.
- D
Use tags in the flavor mapping to match the appropriate cloud resources.
- E
Manually set the CPU and memory values in the blueprint to override the flavor mapping.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
Flavor mappings simplify the management of virtual machine configurations by predefining CPU and memory combinations. To use a flavor mapping, you must first define it with the required specifications, reference it in the blueprint using the 'flavor' property, and ensure it matches the appropriate cloud resources using tags. This eliminates the need to manually define CPU and memory in the blueprint, making deployments more standardized and efficient.
- A. Correct.
Correct. A flavor mapping must be created to specify CPU and memory combinations for use in the blueprint.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Flavor mappings are not assigned to cloud zones; rather, they are referenced in blueprints to define resource configurations.
- C. Correct.
Correct. The flavor mapping must be referenced in the blueprint using the 'flavor' property to apply the predefined specifications.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Tags in the flavor mapping help match the defined configuration to the appropriate cloud resources during deployment.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Manually setting CPU and memory values in the blueprint would negate the purpose of using a flavor mapping.
