Which feature of VMware vRealize Automation enables this functionality?
- A
Cloud Templates
- B
Extensibility via vRealize Orchestrator
- C
Cloud Zones
- D
Approval Policies
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Cloud Templates in vRealize Automation allow you to define reusable, consistent blueprints for deploying applications and services. These templates ensure that multi-tier applications are deployed in a standardized way across development, staging, and production environments, which is essential for maintaining consistency and adhering to organizational policies.
- A. Correct.
Cloud Templates are reusable blueprints that define the structure, configuration, and policies for applications and services. They ensure consistency across environments and are the key feature for deploying multi-tier applications in vRealize Automation.
- B. Incorrect.
Extensibility via vRealize Orchestrator is used to integrate and extend automation workflows but does not directly ensure consistent application deployment across environments.
- C. Incorrect.
Cloud Zones are logical groupings of cloud resources like clusters or regions, but they do not define application deployment structures or ensure consistency.
- D. Incorrect.
Approval Policies are used for governance and to control resource requests but do not automate or define application deployment across environments.
