You are a VMware technical contact for an application development project. The system consists
of a multitier application. In addition to you, the project team consists of three developers and a
project manager. You are required to create various environments for different stages of the
SDLC. The developers will be developing in silos on various hardware (laptops, Windows 7
desktops, vSphere hosted). Which of the following delivery methods would be the easiest to
manage and deploy?
A.
Create the virtual servers using an in-house template and export each VM and present the
server OVFs toeach developer for copying and importing.
B.
Create servers for an environment and place them within a vApp object, export the vApp object
as OVFfiles, and present the OVF files to the dev team for copying and importing.
C.
Create servers for an environment and place them within a vApp object, export the vApp object
as an OVFfile, and present the file to the dev team for copying and importing.
Explanation:
A vApp is a logical container of guest virtual machine objects. The use of a container provides
theability to use key management functionality, which can dramatically help a virtualized platform.
Automationallows lots of VMs to be managed by fewer staff.
