Within VMware Aria Automation Assembler, what would an administrator configure to allow a flavor mapping to be selected?
Answer : A
Within VMware Aria Automation Assembler, an administrator would configure a flavor mapping to be selected in the VMware Aria Automation Cloud zones. A flavor mapping groups a set of target deployment sizings for a specific cloud account/region in VMware Aria Automation using natural language naming. Flavor mapping lets you create a named mapping that contains similar flavor sizings across your account regions. For example, a flavor map named standard_small might contain a similar flavor sizing (such as 1 CPU, 2 GB RAM) for some or all available account/regions in your project. When you build a cloud template, you pick an available flavor that fits your needs. You can organize flavor mappings for your project by deployment intent. You can also select a pre-configuration option when you add a new cloud account, which will select the most popular flavor mapping and image mapping for the specified region. The other options, VMware Aria Automation Templates, VMware Aria Automation Custom forms, and VMware Aria Automation Projects, are not the places where you can configure the flavor mapping for VMware Aria Automation Assembler.Reference:

To allow a flavor mapping to be selected within VMware Aria Automation Assembler, it's typically configured within the VMware Aria Automation Cloud Zones (A). Cloud Zones define the specific compute resources available for deployment, and flavor mappings are associated with these zones to specify the virtual hardware configurations for VMs.
What are two prerequisites for a VMware Aria Automation standard deployment? (Choose two.)
Answer : C, E
Prerequisites for a standard deployment of VMware Aria Automation include a DNS server (E) for name resolution and IPv4 addresses (C) for network communication. These foundational network services are critical for the deployment and operation of VMware Aria Automation components.
The two prerequisites for a VMware Aria Automation standard deployment are IPv4 addresses and DNS server. A standard deployment of VMware Aria Automation consists of a single VMware Aria Automation appliance and a single VMware Workspace ONE Access appliance. A standard deployment does not require a load balancer or a shared database. However, it does require the following prerequisites:
IPv4 addresses: You must have static IPv4 addresses for the VMware Aria Automation and VMware Workspace ONE Access appliances, as well as for the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle appliance that is used to install and configure them. You must also have a range of IPv4 addresses for the Kubernetes pods and services that run on the VMware Aria Automation appliance. You can either use the default values or specify your own ranges in the advanced configuration section of the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle UI.
DNS server: You must have a DNS server that can resolve the host names and FQDNs of the VMware Aria Automation and VMware Workspace ONE Access appliances, as well as the load balancer VIPs if you are deploying a clustered VMware Aria Automation environment. You must also have a DNS server that can resolve the host names and FQDNs of the cloud accounts and endpoints that you want to integrate with VMware Aria Automation.
The other options, A, B, and D, are not prerequisites for a VMware Aria Automation standard deployment, as they are either irrelevant or optional. A DHCP server is not required, as the VMware Aria Automation components use static IP addresses. A load balancer is only required for a clustered VMware Aria Automation deployment, which provides high availability, scalability, and load balancing. IPv6 addresses are not supported by VMware Aria Automation, as it only supports IPv4 addresses.Reference:

VMware Aria Automation Installation Prerequisites
An administrator is preparing to deploy VMware Aria Automation as a POC (Proof of Concept). The administrator must minimize on the number of resources being consumed by the POC.
Which type of deployment architecture should the administrator use?
Answer : B
For a Proof of Concept (POC) deployment where the goal is to minimize resource consumption, a stand-alone deployment architecture is most suitable. This architecture involves a single instance of VMware Aria Automation, which requires fewer resources compared to a clustered or distributed architecture, making it ideal for POC environments.
An administrator is looking to install VMware Aria Automation Config to integrate with existing VMware Aria Automation environment.
Which pre-requisite must be met to complete the installation using VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle?
Answer : B
To integrate VMware Aria Automation Config with an existing VMware Aria Automation environment, one fundamental prerequisite is access to a VMware Aria Automation tenant. This access ensures that the Config component can communicate and operate within the specific tenant's context, applying configurations and settings as needed.
An administrator is configuring user roles to access various VMware Aria Automation services. The development team members require access to create and test automation templates and manage their deployments.
What is the minimal service role the development team members require?
Answer : A
For development team members who need to create, test automation templates, and manage their deployments, the minimal service role required would likely be the VMware Aria Automation Assembler User. This role should provide sufficient permissions for handling the lifecycle of automation templates while not necessarily granting administrative privileges over the broader Aria Automation environment.
When deploying the VMware Aria Automation Config service using VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle, which construct is automatically created in VMware Aria Automation Assembler to assist in deploying VMware Aria Automation Config minions using VMware Aria Automation templates?
Answer : D
When deploying the VMware Aria Automation Config service using VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle, a property group is automatically created in VMware Aria Automation Assembler. This property group assists in deploying VMware Aria Automation Config minions by grouping together properties and values that can be applied to VMware Aria Automation templates. This facilitates the automated deployment and configuration of Config minions, making the process more streamlined and efficient.
An administrator is using VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle to deploy VMware Aria Automation in a clustered deployment model to support self-service provisioning and event-driven automation.
In this scenario, which component of the solution would need to be deployed as a separate appliance?
Answer : D
In a clustered deployment of VMware Aria Automation, especially to support self-service provisioning and event-driven automation, the VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator component is often deployed as a separate appliance. This is because the Orchestrator plays a critical role in managing workflows and automation tasks, which are central to the operation of a robust, scalable automation platform.
