VCP-CMA 2024 Question 220
Select 3You are a cloud administrator for an organization using VMware Aria Automation. Your team wants to send notifications via a custom Slack channel whenever a virtual machine deployment is completed. To achieve this, you decide to create a subscription in VMware Aria Automation. Which steps should you follow to configure and implement this extensibility requirement?
- A
Create a subscription in VMware Aria Automation and associate it with the 'Deployment Completed' event topic.
- B
Develop an ABX action that sends a Slack notification and configure it to trigger upon execution of the subscription.
- C
Use VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator to create a workflow that polls the Slack API and configure it to listen for deployment events.
- D
Assign the appropriate role-based access to ensure the ABX action can access the Slack API.
- E
Enable the 'Deployment Started' event topic in the subscription instead of 'Deployment Completed' to capture all deployment-related events.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To fulfill the requirement of sending a Slack notification upon completion of a virtual machine deployment, you must create a subscription tied to the 'Deployment Completed' event topic. An ABX action should be developed to handle the notification logic, and the appropriate permissions must be in place for the ABX action to communicate with the Slack API. VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator workflows and unrelated event topics are unnecessary for this particular scenario.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Creating a subscription tied to the 'Deployment Completed' event topic ensures the action is triggered when a deployment is finalized.
- B. Correct.
Correct. An ABX action can be used to execute custom logic, such as sending a Slack notification, when the subscription's event is triggered.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator workflows are not required for this specific use case; an ABX action is sufficient for sending notifications.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Proper permissions are required to ensure the ABX action can authenticate and communicate with the Slack API successfully.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The 'Deployment Started' event topic is not relevant as the requirement is to trigger actions upon completion of the deployment, not its initiation.
