The appropriate area of the design that describes the association of vRealize Operations solution with a remote collector for gathering performance and usage metrics is the Physical section. The Physical design details the specific technologies, configurations, and physical layouts required to implement the logical design. This includes information on the placement, configuration, and connections of systems and components, which is where you would expect to find details about remote collectors and their configurations.
Cloud Assembly is the component of vRealize Automation responsible for designing and deploying blueprints, including XaaS (Anything as a Service) blueprints. When migrating from a previous version to vRealize Automation 8.x, Cloud Assembly continues to support custom blueprints that have been developed by the client. This makes Cloud Assembly the logical design component that fulfills the requirement of supporting custom XaaS blueprints in the new version.
In a vRealize Log Insight cluster, log messages are retired automatically to manage space and adhere to the specified retention period. Given the requirement of a 14-day retention period, old log messages will automatically be handled after this period. The logs are retired on a first-come-first-retired basis to ensure that new logs can be stored and the retention period is maintained. Therefore, old log messages will be periodically retired in the order they were stored once they exceed the 14-day retention period.
To meet the requirements of importing all released cloud templates to Service Broker, automatically synchronizing newly released cloud templates, and automatically publishing all templates to the service catalog, you must configure content sharing and ensure the appropriate source. The 'Configure content sharing using Content Sources option' allows for the specification of where the content comes from and automatically synchronizes the templates. The 'Configure content sharing using All Content option' ensures that all types of content, including cloud templates, are published to the service catalog without additional configuration or filtering.
To ensure a highly available shopping cart application, three key cloud management design decisions should be made: First, create a vRealize Orchestrator workflow to remediate any CPU issues automatically to maintain optimal performance. Second, configure vRealize Operations to trigger this workflow in response to specific alerts, ensuring timely and automated handling of issues. Third, set up a vRealize Operations alert that is activated when the application's CPU usage exceeds a certain threshold, facilitating proactive management of resources. These actions combined will help maintain high availability and an optimal shopping experience.
