VCP-CMA 2024 Question 226
Single answerYou are a cloud administrator managing deployments in VMware Aria Automation. A team reports that their workload is no longer needed and requests its removal. However, you need to ensure the deployment is archived for auditing purposes before removal. Which action should you take to properly handle this request?
- A
Delete the deployment directly from the Deployments tab in VMware Aria Automation.
- B
Suspend the deployment before deleting it to create an archive.
- C
Export the deployment logs and metadata, then delete the deployment.
- D
Perform a 'Destroy' operation on the deployment, which archives it automatically.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
To meet the auditing requirement, the deployment logs and metadata need to be exported before deletion. While other options either remove the deployment permanently or fail to address the archival need, exporting logs ensures that the required information is retained for future use.
- A. Incorrect.
Deleting the deployment directly will remove it permanently without creating an archive, which does not meet the requirement to retain it for auditing purposes.
- B. Incorrect.
Suspending the deployment pauses the resources but does not create an archive or address the requirement to retain it for auditing.
- C. Correct.
Exporting the deployment logs and metadata ensures you have an archive of the deployment before deletion, which meets the given requirement for auditing purposes.
- D. Incorrect.
The 'Destroy' operation removes the deployment and its associated resources but does not guarantee the creation of an archive unless manually configured.
