VCP-CMA 2024 Question 198
Select 3An organization is using VMware vRealize Automation to manage its cloud resources. The cloud administrator is tasked with ensuring that specific workloads are deployed only on hosts that meet certain hardware requirements. To achieve this, the administrator decides to use capability and constraint tags. What steps should the administrator take to enforce this requirement?
- A
Assign a capability tag to the target compute resources that meet the hardware requirements.
- B
Assign a constraint tag to the blueprint or workload deployment profile.
- C
Assign a capability tag to the blueprint or workload deployment profile.
- D
Ensure that the names of the capability and constraint tags match exactly.
- E
Enable a custom property in the blueprint to override constraint tags.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To enforce specific placement of workloads, vRealize Automation uses a tagging mechanism where capability tags define the attributes of compute resources, and constraint tags define deployment requirements in blueprints or workload profiles. The tags must have matching names to ensure proper resource placement.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Capability tags are assigned to compute resources to define the specific attributes or capabilities of those resources.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Constraint tags are assigned to the blueprint or workload deployment profile to define deployment requirements that must match the capability tags.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Capability tags are only assigned to compute resources, not blueprints or workload profiles.
- D. Correct.
Correct. For constraint tags to work, their names must exactly match the corresponding capability tags assigned to the compute resources.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Custom properties are not used to enforce constraint tag behavior. They serve other purposes, such as extending blueprint functionality.
