VCP-CMA 2024 Question 62
Single answerAn administrator is tasked with configuring a new Cloud Zone in VMware Aria Automation to support provisioning workloads in a specific vSphere cluster. During the configuration process, they want to ensure that the Cloud Zone has resource availability constraints applied to prevent over-provisioning. Which step is required when adding the Cloud Zone to achieve this goal?
- A
Assign a compute profile to the Cloud Zone.
- B
Enable the 'Limit Resource Allocation' option and configure resource limits.
- C
Create a storage profile and link it to the Cloud Zone.
- D
Add tags to the Cloud Zone to define placement policies.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
To prevent over-provisioning in a Cloud Zone, administrators must enable the 'Limit Resource Allocation' option during the Cloud Zone configuration. This allows them to set specific limits for resources such as CPU, memory, or storage, ensuring workloads stay within defined thresholds. Other options, such as compute profiles and tags, serve different purposes and do not enforce resource constraints directly.
- A. Incorrect.
Assigning a compute profile to the Cloud Zone is optional and is used for defining specific compute settings, not directly for applying resource availability constraints.
- B. Correct.
Enabling the 'Limit Resource Allocation' option and configuring resource limits is required to impose constraints on the resources that can be used in the Cloud Zone, preventing over-provisioning.
- C. Incorrect.
Creating a storage profile and linking it to the Cloud Zone is related to defining storage-specific settings, not resource allocation constraints.
- D. Incorrect.
Adding tags to the Cloud Zone helps with workload placement policies but does not directly enforce resource availability constraints.
