Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To onboard existing workloads into VMware Aria Automation, the process begins with creating a Cloud Account to integrate the vSphere environment. Then, an Onboarding Plan is created to map the discovered workloads to projects for management. Additional steps like tagging or installing VMware Tools can enhance management but are not mandatory for the onboarding process itself.
- A. Correct.
Creating a Cloud Account in VMware Aria Automation is the first step to integrate the vSphere environment, allowing VMware Aria Automation to discover and interact with the workloads.
- B. Incorrect.
Tagging workloads in vSphere is not a mandatory step for onboarding into VMware Aria Automation, although it can be used later for governance and policy enforcement.
- C. Correct.
Creating an Onboarding Plan in VMware Aria Automation is essential to map existing workloads to a desired project and bring them under management.
- D. Incorrect.
Exporting and importing virtual machines is not part of the onboarding process into VMware Aria Automation, as the onboarding process directly integrates with the existing vSphere environment.
- E. Incorrect.
Installing VMware Tools is not a requirement for onboarding existing workloads into VMware Aria Automation, although VMware Tools can provide additional functionality such as guest OS customization.
