An administrator creates a new project in VMware Aria Automation mapping compute resources to a
specific group of users.
Which object is used to assign compute resources with a project?
B
Explanation:
In VMware Aria Automation, a Cloud Zone is used to assign compute resources to a project. A Cloud
Zone is a logical construct that maps to a specific set of compute resources within a Cloud Account,
such as a vCenter Server or AWS region. When creating a new project, administrators map these
Cloud Zones to the project, thereby defining which resources are available for provisioning within
that project. This allows for granular control over resource allocation and ensures that the resources
are used by the designated group of users within the project.

What is the purpose of a cloud zone?
B
Explanation:
A cloud zone in VMware Aria Automation is used to segregate resources for provisioning within a
cloud account. It acts as a logical partition within a cloud account that organizes compute resources,
which are used for deploying workloads. Cloud zones allow administrators to control the distribution
of resources and ensure that specific projects or business units can deploy their workloads only
within the designated zones.
This segregation helps in managing resource allocation more efficiently and can also support various
organizational policies and compliance requirements by isolating environments such as
development, testing, and production.

What is the purpose of a project in VMware Aria Automation?
D
Explanation:
In VMware Aria Automation, a project serves as a fundamental organizational unit that maps
compute resources to users and groups. Projects allow administrators to define which cloud zones
users can deploy workloads to, and they manage the membership and permissions of users within
the project. This organizational structure helps ensure that resources are allocated and managed
according to the needs and policies of different business units or teams.
A project can specify several configurations, including the maximum number of instances, memory
limits, CPU limits, and storage limits that the project can use. Additionally, projects help enforce
governance by applying constraints and custom properties that dictate deployment behaviors and
resource usage.

An administrator configures the following with VMware Aria Automation:
• A constraint tag (location :london) on the production project.
• A capability tag (location:london.) on the storage policy.
• A capability tag (location:london.) on the network.
A Project Member then applies a constraint tag (location:boston) to a compute resource within a
template in the production project.
Which tag will take precedence when the template is provisioned?
B
Explanation:
When there is a conflict between constraint tags at different levels, the project-level constraint tags
take precedence over the template-level constraint tags. This ensures that governance and
compliance requirements set at the project level are always enforced, overriding the constraints set
at the template level.
Thus, when the template is provisioned, the location:london tag from the project will take
precedence over the location:boston tag from the template.

A customer has requested that all of the Virtual Machines (VMs) computer accounts are created for
the Human Resource associates in a specified Organizational Unit (OU) dedicated to HR Department
within their Active Directory server prior to provisioning.
Which native integration in VMware Aria Automation can the administrator leverage to achieve this?
B
Explanation:
In VMware Aria Automation, to ensure that all VMs' computer accounts for HR associates are created
in a specified Organizational Unit (OU) within Active Directory, the native integration with Active
Directory can be leveraged. This integration allows the administrator to configure and automate the
placement of computer accounts into specific OUs during the provisioning process. This ensures
compliance with organizational policies and simplifies the management of computer accounts within
the Active Directory.
