Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct approach to update a deployment in VMware Aria Automation without impacting existing resources is to modify the deployment YAML file to reflect the required changes (e.g., VM size) and then apply the changes using the 'Update Deployment' action. This method ensures that only the specific resource is updated while maintaining the integrity of the rest of the deployment.
- A. Incorrect.
Day 2 Actions are designed for operational tasks like powering on/off or adding disks but do not include resizing VMs in this context.
- B. Incorrect.
Deleting the deployment would disrupt the existing environment and result in downtime, which contradicts the requirement to avoid impacting existing resources.
- C. Incorrect.
Updating the blueprint and redeploying the application would result in a full replacement of the deployment, causing downtime and impacting existing resources.
- D. Correct.
Modifying the deployment YAML file allows precise configuration changes to the deployment, and using the 'Update Deployment' action applies the changes without redeploying or affecting other resources.
