What are two prerequisites for a VMware Aria Automation standard deployment? (Choose two.)
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:

How does an administrator create a VMware Aria Automation default custom name template for deployments that do not have project-level templates?
To create a default custom name template for deployments that do not have project-level templates, an administrator should create a new custom name template with the scope set to the Organization. This ensures that the naming template is applied globally across the organization for any deployments that do not have a specific project-level naming template defined.
An administrator is trying to configure a Placement Policy within VMware Aria Automation to ensure that provisioned resources are deployed across all compute hosts within a given region.
Where will the administrator configure this policy?
In VMware Aria Automation, Cloud Zones are used to define specific boundaries for deployment, such as regions, datacenters, or clusters within those datacenters. By configuring a Placement Policy within Cloud Zones, an administrator can control how and where the resources are deployed, ensuring that the provisioned resources are spread across all compute hosts within a given region or other defined criteria. This helps in achieving high availability, load balancing, and efficient use of resources.
An administrator has been asked to describe the differences between the architecture for VMware Aria Automation and VMware Aria Automation SaaS.
Which two architectural differences could the administrator choose when describing VMware Aria Automation? (Choose two.)
Architectural differences between VMware Aria Automation and its SaaS counterpart: For on-premises deployments like VMware Aria Automation, using an external load balancer for clustered deployments (B) and deploying Workspace ONE Access for Active Directory integration (D) are common requirements. The SaaS version abstracts these complexities.
Which two types of cloud accounts support IP address assignment in a network profile? (Choose two.)
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:
