Single answerYou are managing a set of workloads in VMware Aria Automation Config. One of your workloads is no longer compliant with its desired state due to manual changes made outside of automation. How can you ensure this workload is returned to compliance while minimizing downtime?
- A
Trigger a remediation job from VMware Aria Automation Config.
- B
Delete the workload and redeploy it using the original template.
- C
Manually revert the changes on the workload to match the desired state.
- D
Mark the current state of the workload as compliant in VMware Aria Automation Config.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The remediation job in VMware Aria Automation Config is designed to bring workloads back into compliance with their desired state by automatically applying the necessary changes. This minimizes downtime and avoids manual errors, making it the most efficient and reliable solution in this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Triggering a remediation job from VMware Aria Automation Config is the correct approach to automatically restore the workload to its desired state without manually intervening or deleting the workload.
- B. Incorrect.
Deleting and redeploying the workload is unnecessary and can cause downtime, making it an inefficient choice when remediation can achieve the same result.
- C. Incorrect.
Manually reverting changes is error-prone and inefficient compared to using VMware Aria Automation Config to automate the compliance process.
- D. Incorrect.
Marking the current state as compliant does not resolve the issue. It simply acknowledges the current state, leaving the workload non-compliant with the desired state.
