Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To effectively manage VMware Aria Automation Cloud Template versioning, administrators should use built-in features like 'Save As Version' to create new versions and 'Restore Version' to revert to previous ones. Publishing a specific version ensures it is available for deployment. Manual deletion of versions or exporting YAML files is not necessary for version management and could disrupt the versioning process if not carefully handled.
- A. Correct.
Correct: 'Save As Version' ensures changes are tracked, creating a new version each time a template is updated, which is critical for version management.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Older versions should not be manually deleted unless necessary. VMware Aria Automation provides automated version history management and deleting versions may compromise audit trails.
- C. Correct.
Correct: Using the 'Restore Version' option allows the administrator to revert to a previous version of the template for use.
- D. Correct.
Correct: Publishing a version is required to make it available for deployment, which is part of managing template versions.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Exporting the template as a YAML file is useful for backups but is not directly related to VMware Aria Automation’s built-in versioning features.
