VCP-CMA 2024 Question 61
Single answerYou are tasked with configuring a new Cloud Zone in VMware Aria Automation (formerly vRealize Automation) to allow developers to provision workloads in a specific region. During the configuration, you want to ensure that the Cloud Zone utilizes a specific vSphere cluster and restricts provisioning to only this cluster. Which step is required to achieve this?
- A
Add the vSphere cluster as a compute resource and assign it to the Cloud Zone.
- B
Configure placement policies in the Cloud Zone to restrict provisioning to the desired vSphere cluster.
- C
Assign tags to the vSphere cluster and use matching capability tags when defining the Cloud Zone.
- D
Enable the 'Restrict to Cluster' option in the Cloud Zone settings.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
To restrict provisioning within a Cloud Zone to a specific vSphere cluster, you must utilize tags. By assigning tags to the vSphere cluster and then defining matching capability tags in the Cloud Zone, you ensure that workloads are provisioned only to that cluster. Other options, such as adding compute resources or configuring placement policies, do not directly enforce such restrictions.
- A. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While vSphere clusters must be added as compute resources, this step alone does not restrict provisioning to a specific cluster in a Cloud Zone.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Placement policies are used to guide workload placement, but they are not directly tied to restricting Cloud Zones to specific clusters.
- C. Correct.
Correct: Tags can be assigned to the vSphere cluster, and these tags can then be matched within the Cloud Zone using capability tags. This ensures that provisioning is restricted to the desired cluster.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: There is no 'Restrict to Cluster' option in the Cloud Zone settings. Restricting resources is achieved through tagging and matching.
