Explanation
To manage VMware Aria Automation Cloud Template versioning effectively, administrators should use built-in features like publishing new versions, viewing version history, and marking specific versions as 'Release'. These actions ensure changes are tracked, older versions remain accessible, and the correct version is distributed for deployments. Deleting older versions or relying on manual backups is counterproductive and not aligned with VMware's best practices.
- A. Correct.
Publishing a new version after making changes is essential to update the version history and track changes effectively.
- B. Incorrect.
Deleting older versions of the template is not recommended, as it eliminates the ability to restore or reference previous versions.
- C. Correct.
Using the 'Version History' tab is the correct method to view and restore previous versions within VMware Aria Automation.
- D. Incorrect.
Manually backing up YAML code is unnecessary because VMware Aria Automation provides built-in version control features.
- E. Correct.
Marking a version as 'Release' is a best practice to designate the active version for end users to deploy.
