VCP-CMA 2024 Question 76
Single answerAn administrator is tasked with enabling developers to deploy virtual machines with predefined CPU and memory configurations in VMware Aria Automation. The administrator decides to use Flavor Mappings to achieve this. While creating a Flavor Mapping, which configuration step is essential to ensure it works correctly with the desired cloud zones?
- A
Define the flavor mapping name and associate it with a cloud template.
- B
Specify the instance type or sizing information that matches the target cloud provider.
- C
Map the flavor to a storage profile in the cloud zone.
- D
Assign a priority number to the flavor mapping for conflict resolution.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Flavor mappings in VMware Aria Automation are used to define CPU and memory configurations that match instance types or sizing options in the target cloud provider (e.g., AWS, Azure, or vSphere). These mappings are then referenced in cloud templates to standardize resource configurations. Specifying the instance type or sizing information ensures the flavor mapping can be correctly applied during deployments.
- A. Incorrect.
This option is incorrect because the flavor mapping is not directly associated with a cloud template. Instead, it is referenced by the cloud template during deployment.
- B. Correct.
This option is correct because a flavor mapping must specify the instance type or sizing details (e.g., vCPU and memory) that align with the target cloud provider's configurations.
- C. Incorrect.
This option is incorrect because flavor mappings are not used to define storage profiles. Storage profiles are configured separately in VMware Aria Automation.
- D. Incorrect.
This option is incorrect because flavor mappings do not require a priority number for conflict resolution. Priorities are used in other contexts, such as placement policies.
