An administrator configures a lease policy with the following settings:
Maximum lease (days): 10
Maximum total lease (days): 30
Grace period (days): 5
If a user does not respond to any emails, after how many days will the deployment be destroyed?
Answer : C
With the lease policy settings provided, the deployment will initially have a maximum lease of 10 days. If the user does not respond to any emails, the grace period of 5 days will come into effect after the lease expires, extending the total to 15 days. Since the maximum total lease is 30 days and considering the initial 10-day lease plus the 5-day grace period, if the user still does not respond, the deployment will be destroyed after the total of 35 days (30 days of total lease plus the 5-day grace period).
Assuming no additional inputs have been added to the automation template and the custom form is not enabled, which two fields are always flagged as mandatory when requesting a catalog Item? (Choose two.)
Answer : B, E
When requesting a catalog item in VMware Aria Automation, the fields that are always flagged as mandatory, even without additional inputs or custom forms, typically include the Project and Deployment name. The Project field ensures that the deployment is associated with the correct organizational entity, while the Deployment name provides a unique identifier for the deployment instance.
Which two types of cloud accounts support IP address assignment in a network profile? (Choose two.)
Answer : C, D
IP address assignment in a network profile is crucial for defining how VMs obtain their IP addresses within specific cloud environments. VMware vCenter (C) and VMware Cloud on AWS (D) both support network profiles that can include static or dynamic IP address assignment, making them compatible with such configurations.
The two types of cloud accounts that support IP address assignment in a network profile are VMware vCenter and VMware Cloud on AWS. IP address assignment is the process of assigning IP addresses to the network interfaces of the provisioned resources. VMware Aria Automation supports three types of IP address assignment: static, dynamic, and mixed. Static IP address assignment means that VMware Aria Automation manages the IP address allocation from a predefined range. Dynamic IP address assignment means that an external DHCP server manages the IP address allocation. Mixed IP address assignment means that both VMware Aria Automation and an external DHCP server manage the IP address allocation. VMware vCenter and VMware Cloud on AWS cloud accounts support all three types of IP address assignment in a network profile. You can configure the IP address assignment type for each network in the network profile. The other cloud accounts, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud Platform, do not support IP address assignment in a network profile. They rely on the native IP address management of the cloud providers. You cannot configure the IP address assignment type for these cloud accounts in VMware Aria Automation.Reference:

Which statement is true for VMware Aria Automation multi-organization tenant configuration?
Answer : C
In a multi-organization tenant configuration within VMware Aria Automation, the typical setup allows for each tenant to manage its own projects, resources, and deployments independently. This configuration enables organizational autonomy while maintaining a level of centralized oversight by the provider.
An administrator creates a content source to import three VMware Aria Automation templates into VMware Aria Automation Consumption. After some time, he Is tasked with deleting the content source.
What would happen if and when this content source is deleted?
Answer : B
Deleting a content source in VMware Aria Automation removes the source of the templates but does not necessarily delete the templates that have already been imported into the Aria Automation Consumption catalog. These templates remain available for use and deployment, ensuring that existing workloads and configurations are not disrupted by the removal of the content source.
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.
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.
