VCP-CMA 2024 Question 194
Single answerAn administrator is configuring a vRealize Automation blueprint to deploy virtual machines in a multi-cloud environment. The administrator is required to ensure that machine specifications such as CPU and memory are dynamically selected based on predefined policies for each cloud provider. Which step should the administrator take to achieve this?
- A
Create and assign Flavor Mappings for each cloud provider linked to the blueprint.
- B
Manually specify CPU and memory requirements for each deployment in the blueprint properties.
- C
Use a single Flavor Mapping for all cloud providers to simplify the configuration.
- D
Leverage a custom script to dynamically assign CPU and memory values post-deployment.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Flavor Mappings in vRealize Automation enable administrators to define and map machine specifications like CPU and memory to cloud-specific instance types. By assigning these mappings to a blueprint, administrators can ensure consistent and policy-driven resource allocation across multiple clouds. This eliminates the need for manual configurations or custom scripting, improving efficiency and reliability.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Creating and assigning Flavor Mappings allows the administrator to define and map machine specifications like CPU and memory to predefined policies for each cloud provider.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Manually specifying CPU and memory parameters does not provide the flexibility required for multi-cloud deployments and introduces inefficiencies.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Using a single Flavor Mapping for all cloud providers is not suitable as different providers may have varying instance types and requirements.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Custom scripts can add complexity and are unnecessary when the Flavor Mapping feature provides this functionality natively.
