Single answerAn organization is using VMware Aria Automation Config to manage the state of its workloads. A systems administrator needs to ensure that configurations for a specific workload are automatically remediated if they drift from the desired state. Which step should the administrator take to achieve this?
- A
Enable the 'Enforcement' mode for the configuration in VMware Aria Automation Config.
- B
Manually run the 'Check Compliance' task for the workload in VMware Aria Automation Config.
- C
Schedule a periodic compliance report for the workload in VMware Aria Automation Config.
- D
Assign a dynamic group to the workload to monitor configuration changes.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To automatically remediate configuration drift in VMware Aria Automation Config, the 'Enforcement' mode must be enabled. This ensures that configurations are monitored and automatically corrected to align with the desired state. Other options like running compliance checks or generating reports are useful for monitoring but do not actively enforce state management.
- A. Correct.
Enabling 'Enforcement' mode ensures that VMware Aria Automation Config automatically remediates any configuration drift and maintains the desired state.
- B. Incorrect.
Manually running the 'Check Compliance' task only identifies configuration drift but does not automatically remediate it.
- C. Incorrect.
Scheduling a compliance report provides insights into configuration compliance but does not enforce the desired state automatically.
- D. Incorrect.
Assigning a dynamic group allows you to organize workloads for reporting and management but does not directly enforce configuration compliance.
