Question 23

An architect is designing a series of new vSphere environments for an organization. The environments will be deployed in their US-East and US-West region data centers. Each data center may have one or more dedicated vSphere environments. Only the vSphere environments within a data center will be configured with

Enhanced Linked Mode. The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) has authorized the use of VMware vRealize Automation Cloud for automation. The build team creates standardized virtual machine images for various operating systems in Open Virtualization Format (OVF) and publishes the latest version on an as-needed basis to an internal HTTPS-accessible repository.

The architect must design a content library topology that meets the following requirements:

✑ A localized content library must be available in each data center.

Each content library must be updated when an image is updated and released by the build team.

✑ The cloud automation platform must be able to consume the latest approved content library images.

✑ It must leverage the existing build team processes.

What should the architect recommend to meet the requirements?

    Correct Answer: D

    To design a content library topology that meets the requirements, it is crucial to leverage the existing build team processes which involve publishing the latest versions of images to an internal HTTPS-accessible repository. The most efficient way to ensure each content library is updated when a new image is released and to make the cloud automation platform consume the latest approved images is to automate the process. Therefore, working with the build team to automate a JSON-based manifest for the repository and creating a subscribed content library for each vSphere environment, configured to download content automatically, would be the optimal solution. This ensures each content library is automatically updated without manual intervention, thereby maintaining consistency and leveraging the existing processes.

nemisis95Option: B

I've re-read it - it's B

Anzee

✑ Each content library must be updated when an image is updated and released by the build team. how can this requirement be satisfied

Just click on synchronize. It only works with OVF https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-C431394B-5D06-48B5-999B-181DB0E8BAEF.html

cr2001Option: D

See this example:https://www.brianjgraf.com/3rd-party-content-library-synology-s3/ 3rd party local library with JSON manifest, and subscribed via HTTPS vsphere library. So i think it`s D

mnq59986

That definitelly works but I doubt that vmware would include in exam something based on blog article and soho grade storage. Or is this actually documented somewhere else?

IronMtn

That website is gone. Try https://web.archive.org/web/20210418054332/https://www.brianjgraf.com/3rd-party-content-library-synology-s3/ instead.

MezzeOption: B

I think it's B because it's asked about local CL in the design.

diegof1Option: D

Answer is D The requirements say that It must leverage the existing build team processes, and they publish the latest version on an as-needed basis to an internal HTTPS-accessible repository so a subscription from 3rd party Content Library is the solution. https://williamlam.com/2015/06/creating-your-own-3rd-party-content-library-for-vsphere-6-0-vcloud-director-5-x.html

Bobob55Option: B

Correct answer

ugurgaziOption: B

B or D, I am also still stuck. localized versus local.. come on vmware

FR_WolfmanOption: C

For me, C would be the best option. We must leverage the existing build team processes : so we should use the existing internal HTTPS-accessible repository, instead of creating a local/published repository on which they will have to put the OVFs --> That eliminates A & B. C & D could fit the need : with a JSON-based manifest in the internal repository, you can create subscribed libraries linked to it. We will go to answer C, as it is stated that we need the versions on an as-needed basis.

Justang197031Option: B

B is correct. Why D is wrong? Because "It must leverage the existing build team processes." and D requires and change to the existing process. Also a Subscribed library cannot be created without a local-published library to subscribe to.

MohamedZohairOption: D

The answer is D

purulenceOption: D

I`ll go with "D", as it must leverage from existing build team processes.

NayanajithSOption: D

Build team publish to internal repository only... This need to be synchronized to other site. Therefore, suggest creating subscribed content library for each environment. After the synchronization finishes, the item content and metadata are downloaded to the storage of the subscribed library. On the Templates tab for the subscribed library, the value for the item in the Stored Content Locally column changes to Yes.

Bobob55Option: B

B as local for each site and automatically bringing down content as needed

PSE_ITOption: B

B, in this case vRA Cloud can interact with local CL, one for each DC. And other sites have subscribed version of local ones.

c11Option: A

A I did a good reading. There is one factor that everyone is missing. vRA cloud image mapping can only see images from the "local content library". Images from the subcriber library are not visible to vRA cloud. REF 1: https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Automation/8.7/Using-and-Managing-Cloud-Assembly/GUID-9CBAA91A-FAAD-4409-AFFC-ACC1810E4FA5.html REF-2 - https://vtam.nl/2022/02/10/using-vcenter-content-library-with-vrealize-automation-8/ Someone, please correct me on this.

krimieOption: B

I think It's B since we can create a Two local Content Library in each datacenter , then create a subscribed content Library with the internal HTTPS-accessible repository and finally Create a new subscription from the local content and select the existing Subscriber library we've created

Which answer is correct and why ? is it B or D?
