VMware vRealize Operations Manager Advanced — Question 46

A large non-profit organization is working to automate deployment of servers and software. For one popular software package, the organization owns a limited number of instance licenses which must be tracked per deployment. Currently this is a manual process, involving an operator updating a SQL database of licensing information.
The cloud architect has already designed a software component and blueprint capable of deploying the software.
Which design meets the requirements of this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Publish the blueprint as a catalog item with a quota configured to limit the number of deployments.
• B. Publish the blueprint as a catalog item with the appropriate custom property.
• C. Design an approval policy using event subscription.
• D. Design an approval policy using the "Required based on conditions" option to validate against the SQL database.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Option D is correct because it directly addresses the need to validate license usage against the SQL database, ensuring compliance with licensing limits. Options A and B do not provide a mechanism to check against the licensing database, and option C does not facilitate the necessary validation related to the licenses.
