VCP-CMA 2024 Question 200
Select 2You are a cloud administrator managing a VMware vRealize Automation (vRA) environment. A development team requires that their workloads only run on hosts equipped with GPUs to support their machine learning applications. You decide to use capability and constraint tags to enforce this requirement. What steps should you take to ensure the workloads are deployed correctly?
- A
Apply a capability tag to compute resources with GPUs in the infrastructure.
- B
Assign a constraint tag to the blueprint that specifies GPU resources.
- C
Apply a constraint tag to the project associated with the development team.
- D
Ensure that all compute resources in the fabric have the same capability tag.
- E
Use vSphere DRS rules to enforce GPU workload placement instead of tags.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
To enforce workload placement on GPU-equipped hosts, capability and constraint tags must be used in tandem. Capability tags are applied to the infrastructure resources (e.g., compute resources) to designate specific capabilities, such as GPU availability. Constraint tags are then applied to blueprints to restrict workloads to resources with matching capability tags. This ensures that the workloads are deployed only to the desired resources. Other options, such as applying tags to projects or using vSphere DRS rules, do not address the requirement in this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Applying a capability tag to compute resources with GPUs allows vRA to identify these resources as capable of handling GPU-specific workloads.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Assigning a constraint tag to the blueprint ensures that workloads can only be deployed to resources with matching capability tags, enforcing the requirement for GPU-equipped hosts.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Applying a constraint tag to the project is unnecessary in this scenario because the tags must align to the compute resource and blueprint to enforce placement.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Ensuring uniform capability tags across all compute resources is not required and would defeat the purpose of using tags to differentiate specific resources like GPU-enabled hosts.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. vSphere DRS rules are not used to manage capability and constraint tags in vRA. Tags provide a more flexible and scalable mechanism for resource placement in vRA.
