VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 286
Select 3An organization is using VMware Aria Automation to deploy workloads in their VMware Cloud Foundation environment. They want to ensure that the deployment process is automated, includes approval policies for critical workloads, and integrates with their existing configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible). Which steps should the administrator take to achieve this?
- A
Create a cloud template in VMware Aria Automation that defines the desired workload specifications and integrates with the Ansible playbook.
- B
Set up an approval policy in VMware Aria Automation and associate it with the deployment project for critical workloads.
- C
Manually deploy the workload using vSphere Client and document the steps for future automation.
- D
Enable Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines in VMware Aria Automation Code Stream for automated deployments.
- E
Configure role-based access control (RBAC) in VMware Aria Automation to restrict access to deployment projects.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To automate deployment and configuration of workloads in VMware Aria Automation, administrators should create cloud templates to define workload specifications, integrate with tools like Ansible, and use CI/CD pipelines for automation. Additionally, approval policies ensure that critical workloads adhere to governance standards. These steps align with best practices for automating workload deployment in VMware Cloud Foundation.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Creating a cloud template in VMware Aria Automation allows you to define the workload specifications and integrate with external tools like Ansible for post-deployment configuration.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Approval policies in VMware Aria Automation ensure that critical workloads require manual approval before deployment, aligning with organizational governance requirements.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Manually deploying workloads does not meet the objective of automation and is not a best practice for VMware Aria Automation.
- D. Correct.
Correct. CI/CD pipelines in VMware Aria Automation Code Stream automate the deployment process, ensuring consistency and reducing manual intervention.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While RBAC is crucial for security, it does not directly contribute to automating the deployment and configuration of workloads.
