An architect is evaluating a customer requirement to include Active Directory users as custom
resources to be managed by VMware Aria Automation deployments.
What additional component could the architect include in the solution design that will help satisfy
the requirement?
A
Explanation:
VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator enables integration with external systems like Active
Directory through workflows, allowing you to manage AD users as custom resources within VMware
Aria Automation deployments. This satisfies the requirement to automate and manage AD users as
part of the deployment process.
The operations team is onboarding new interns in Active Directory. The interns need to work in the
company’s VMware Aria Operations environment while maintaining corporate security compliance.
The intern Active Directory group should only have PowerUser role to a specific vCenter cluster and
ReadOnly for all other objects.
Which option would meet the requirements?
B
Explanation:
This approach allows precise control by creating a dedicated AD group for interns, synchronizing it
into VMware Aria Operations, creating a custom role tailored for their needs, and assigning the
correct permissions (PowerUser on the specific vCenter cluster and ReadOnly elsewhere). This
ensures security compliance and proper segregation of duties.
An architect is designing the authentication and identity management component of a private cloud
solution and has gathered the following information from the customer.
Single forest multi-domain Active Directory deployment.
Solution must be highly available.
Which approach can the architect take to achieve this?
B
Explanation:
A clustered deployment of Workspace One Access ensures high availability. Configuring it as a Single
Active Directory Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) directory type allows seamless
authentication across a single forest with multiple domains, supporting both high availability and the
customer's AD topology requirements.
An architect is designing a VMware Cloud Management solution for a vSphere-based private cloud
with the following requirements:
The costs should be visible for all deployments.
A one-time charge must be added only to deployments in the Finance project.
Which two design decisions should the architect include? (Choose two.)
B, C
Explanation:
Integrating VMware Aria Operations with VMware Aria Automation ensures cost visibility for all
deployments. Creating a dedicated pricing card for the Finance project allows you to apply a one-
time charge specifically to deployments in that project, meeting the requirement for project-specific
cost adjustments.
Which two design decisions would an architect document as part of the physical design? (Choose
two.)
A, D
Explanation:
Physical design decisions document specific details about component placement and sizing in the
infrastructure. Deploying Remote Collectors in each location and specifying the analytics cluster size
(three Large nodes) are concrete, implementation-level details that belong in the physical design.
A financial business wants to reduce the time-to-market by automating the end-to-end testing of a
prime service application and releasing it with minimal user intervention.
Which service in VMware Aria Automation will allow the business to achieve the requirement?
A
Explanation:
Aria Automation Pipelines is designed for automating and orchestrating continuous integration and
continuous delivery (CI/CD) workflows, including end-to-end testing and application release with
minimal user intervention, aligning directly with the business requirement.
Refer to the exhibit. An architect has created a logical design for VMware Aria Operations.
The architect has included Continuous Availability as part of the design.
Which scenarios does this design protect against. (Choose three.)
A, E, F
Explanation:
Continuous Availability (CA) in VMware Aria Operations (vRealize Operations Manager) protects
against failures by distributing nodes across fault domains (FDs) and pairing nodes across domains.
This design protects against losing any two nodes from different pairs (e.g., 1A and 3A, or 2A and 2B),
and it can tolerate the complete loss of a single network domain (all nodes in either FD A or FD B),
ensuring continuous service availability. It does not protect against the simultaneous loss of both the
Primary Node and Primary Replica Node or both nodes of a pair (1A and 1B).
Following a design review meeting with a customer, a cloud architect needs to update an existing
VMware Aria Automation design to address changes in requirements.
The new requirements state:
The solution must continue to operate in the event of a single node failure.
The corporate encryption standard requires all solutions to encrypt data in transit using revocable
certificates.
Which two design decision should the architect make to meet the new requirements? (Choose two.)
A, B
Explanation:
A three-node clustered deployment with an external load balancer ensures high availability, allowing
the solution to continue operating if a single node fails. CA-signed certificates provide encrypted data
in transit and can be revoked per corporate security standards, meeting the encryption requirement.
DRAG DROP
Drag and drop each Design Quality from the left into the box corresponding to the correct
requirement on the right.
Explanation:
An architect is designing a VMware Cloud Management solution with the following requirements:
The solution should allow the deployment of production and development workloads to the same
vSphere cluster.
The solution must deploy only the correctly licensed vSphere template for production workloads.
Which design decision will ensure that the requirements are met?
D
Explanation:
Assigning a VMware Aria Automation Capability tag to the Production image mapping ensures that
only the correctly licensed vSphere template is selectable and deployed for production workloads,
while allowing other templates for development. This design enforces template compliance within
the shared vSphere cluster.
Refer to the exhibit. A customer wants to collect data from 120,000 objects and given the VMware
Aria Operations sizing guide.
Assuming the customer has no requirements for continuous availability or high availability, what
recommendation for the quantity and type of nodes should the architect provide?
C
Explanation:
Extra Large nodes support 44,000 objects each; three nodes deliver 132,000-object capacity,
satisfying the 120,000-object requirement with the smallest cluster.
Which three products can be deployed with VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle? (Choose three.)
A, B, D
Explanation:
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle can deploy and manage VMware Aria Operations, VMware Aria
Operations for Applications, and VMware Aria Operations for Logs as part of the integrated cloud
management platform.
An architect is designing the deployment of VMware Aria Operations for Logs in their data center.
The customer has the following requirements:
VMware Aria Operations for Logs cluster responds to multiple Virtual IP Addresses (VIPs)
Each event message received from a VIP is associated with a tag
Which two design decisions would the architect make to achieve the requirements? (Choose two.)
A, D
Explanation:
To ensure that event messages from different VIPs are associated with specific tags, configure either
dynamic or static tags (key=value) on the integrated load balancer VIP. This allows VMware Aria
Operations for Logs to annotate each incoming event with the correct tag based on the VIP.
An architect is responsible for designing the physical deployment of a four-node VMware Aria
Operations cluster for a healthcare customer. The following requirements must be met:
vSphere management cluster consists of three nodes
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of less than 2 hours
Use existing customer backup solution
Which recommendation should the architect make to satisfy the requirements?
B
Explanation:
High availability in VMware Aria Operations ensures the solution can tolerate node failures and
minimize downtime, supporting a low RTO. Leveraging the existing customer backup solution
provides backup and restore capabilities without the added complexity of continuous availability,
which is not strictly required for an RTO under 2 hours.
An architect is designing a self-service Cloud Management solution environment such that:
It provides a way to calculate the price of each deployed Virtual Machine.
It displays an estimated cost to users when they are requesting a Virtual Machine.
Which two components can help meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
C, D
Explanation:
VMware Aria Automation enables self-service VM deployment and can show estimated costs to
users. VMware Aria Operations integrates with Aria Automation to provide pricing and cost
calculation for deployed resources. Together, they satisfy the requirements for price estimation and
cost display during VM requests.
