VMware VMware vRealize Operations - Cloud Management Automation 2023 5V0-35.21 New Questions

The regulatory, standards-based compliance pack that is available in vRealize Operations is the CIS Security Standards. The CIS Security Standards are a set of best practices and recommendations for securing IT systems and data against cyberattacks. The CIS Security Standards are developed and maintained by the Center for Internet Security (CIS), a nonprofit organization that provides cybersecurity resources and guidance to organizations and individuals1. The vRealize Operations Compliance Pack for CIS provides alerts, policies,and reports to validate the vSphere resources against the CIS hardening guide. The following resources are being validated using this content: ESXi Host, Virtual Machine, vCenter Server, Distributed Switch, Distributed Port Group, and Distributed Firewall2. The vRealize Operations Compliance Pack for CIS can be downloaded and installed from the VMware Marketplace3. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) (option A) is not a regulatory, standards-based compliance pack that is available in vRealize Operations. SOX is a federal law that regulates the financial reporting and auditing of public companies in the United States. SOX does not provide specific technical guidelines or benchmarks for securing IT systems and data4. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) (option B) is not a regulatory, standards-based compliance pack that is available in vRealize Operations. CVE is a list of publicly known cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposures that are assigned unique identifiers and descriptions. CVE does not provide specific security standards or recommendations for securing IT systems and data5. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (option D) is not a regulatory, standards-based compliance pack that is available in vRealize Operations. GDPR is a legal framework that regulates the collection, processing, and transfer of personal data of individuals in the European Union and the European Economic Area. GDPR does not provide specific technical guidelines or benchmarks for securing IT systems and data. References:

In VMware vSphere environments, "Business Intent" is a feature in vRealize Operations that allows administrators to align workloads with business requirements. It ensures that specific workloads, like database virtual machines in your scenario, stay on or are moved to designated clusters based on defined business policies. This feature is essential for maintaining operational efficiency and ensuring that resources are optimized according to business needs.

Business intent is a feature that allows you to define the desired state of your clusters based on your business objectives and workload requirements. You can use business intent to specify the cluster placement and resource allocation for your database virtual machines according to their performance, availability, or efficiency needs1. For example, you can create a business intent policy that assigns high priority and high CPU and memoryreservations to your critical database VMs, and places them on a cluster that has the best hardware and network configuration2. Business intent works with vSphere DRS to automatically move and balance your VMs across the clusters that match your policy3.

The other options are not correct because they do not allow you to configure the cluster placement and resource allocation for your database VMs based on your business objectives. Custom group is a feature that allows you to group objects in your environment based on common attributes or relationships, but it does not define the desired state of your clusters. Compliance benchmark is a feature that allows you to assess the security and configuration compliance of your clusters against predefined or custom standards, but it does not define the desired state of your clusters. Operational intent is a feature that allows you to define the operational behavior of your clusters based on your operational objectives and constraints, such as power management, maintenance mode, or fault tolerance, but it does not define the desired state of your clusters. References: Business Intent, Create a Business Intent Policy, vSphere DRS and Business Intent, [Custom Group], [Compliance Benchmark], [Operational Intent]

 The alert action that the administrator should take to stop the alert from triggering again, unless the problem occurs in the future, is to cancel the alert. Canceling the alert removes the alert from the active alerts list and stops the alert from affecting the state of the object. However, canceling the alert does not resolve the underlying conditions that triggered the alert. Therefore, the administrator should only cancel the alert after investigating and resolving the problem. If the problem occurs again in the future, the alert will be triggered again. To cancel an alert, the administrator can select the alert in the alerts list, click Actions, and click Cancel Alert. Alternatively, the administrator can open the alert details, click Actions, and click Cancel Alert. References: Monitoring Alerts in vRealize Operations Manager; User Scenario: Respond to an Alert in the Health Alert List

 According to the vRealize Operations User Guide1, the action that the administrator should take to accomplish the goal of making sure that the existing vRealize Operations Manager instance can monitor a newly deployed vSAN cluster within an existing vCenter Server is to enable vSAN monitoring under the existing vCenter Server Cloud Account. A vCenter Server Cloud Account is a configuration that defines the connection details and credentials of the vCenter Server instance that manages the vSphere components, such as clusters, hosts, datastores, and virtual machines. By enabling vSAN monitoring under the vCenter Server Cloud Account, the administrator can allow vRealize Operations Manager to collect data from the vSAN cluster and monitor the health, performance, capacity, and configuration of the vSAN components, such as disk groups, disks, fault domains, and storage policies. The guide provides the steps to enable vSAN monitoring under the vCenter Server Cloud Account using the vRealize Operations Manager user interface1. The other options are not correct because:

• Adding vSAN cluster under Other Accounts is not a valid action, as there is no such option in the vRealize Operations Manager user interface. The Other Accounts option under Administration is used to add accounts for other types of cloud services, such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Kubernetes, but not for vSAN cluster1.
• Downloading and installing vRealize Operations Management Pack for vSAN is not a required action, as vRealize Operations Manager already supports vSAN monitoring natively without the need of any additional management pack. The vRealize Operations Management Pack for vSAN is an optional extension that provides additional dashboards, alerts, and reports for vSAN monitoring, but it is not necessary to accomplish the goal2.
• Adding vSAN cluster under Cloud Accounts is not a valid action, as there is no such option in the vRealize Operations Manager user interface. The Cloud Accounts option under Administration is used to add accounts for VMware Cloud services, such as VMware Cloud on AWS, VMware Cloud Director, or NSX-T, but not for vSAN cluster1. References: 1: vRealize Operations User Guide, pages 17-18, 21-222: vRealize Operations Management Pack for vSAN, Overview section.
