VCP-CMA 2024 Question 219
Select 3Your organization uses VMware Aria Automation (formerly vRealize Automation) for provisioning and managing workloads. You have been tasked with creating a subscription in VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator to trigger a custom ABX action whenever a virtual machine is successfully deployed. Which of the following steps are required to configure and manage this extensibility workflow?
- A
Create a subscription in VMware Aria Automation under the Extensibility tab and specify the event topic as 'Compute Allocation Completed'.
- B
Develop an ABX action in the VMware Aria Automation ABX console and ensure it has the appropriate input/output schema defined.
- C
Assign a tag to the subscription to ensure it only triggers for workloads deployed in a specific project.
- D
Manually execute the subscription by invoking the ABX action directly from the VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator console.
- E
Set the subscription to 'Blocking' mode to ensure that the ABX action is executed before the deployment is marked complete.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
To manage extensibility via subscriptions in VMware Aria Automation, you must create a subscription tied to a specific event topic (e.g., 'Compute Allocation Completed'), develop an ABX action with the correct schema, and optionally use tags to scope the subscription. This ensures that the ABX action is triggered automatically and only for the intended workloads. Manual execution or 'Blocking' mode are not applicable for this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Correct. To trigger the action during a specific event (e.g., virtual machine deployment), you need to create a subscription and associate it with the appropriate event topic like 'Compute Allocation Completed'.
- B. Correct.
Correct. ABX actions must be created in advance with a proper input/output schema to work seamlessly when triggered by a subscription.
- C. Correct.
Correct. Tags can be used to scope subscriptions, ensuring they are only triggered for specific workloads or projects.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Subscriptions are event-driven and automatically trigger based on the defined event topic. Manual execution of the ABX action is not required in this scenario.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Setting a subscription to 'Blocking' mode is not necessary for this use case as the ABX action is intended to run after the deployment is completed, not during the deployment process itself.
