Explanation:
Which format should the administrator use?
A VMware administrator needs to export a vApp and create a self-contained package that has a
single file.
Which format should the administrator use?
B is correct
Select Single file (OVA) to package the OVF template into a single .ova file
An OVF is a collection of items in a single folder. Most commonly
this is a description file (.ovf) a manifest file (.mf), and virtual
machine state files (*.vhd or *.vmdk)
An OVA is a single file.
The OVA is the OVF folder contents all zipped into a single file. The
purpose of the OVA is when you want to take an OVF and share it, or give
it as a download. The OVA needs to be opened into the OVF before it can
be consumed.
The question is asking for a single file format, so the answer is B.
While there is “Export as OVF”, you don’t have “Export as OVA” option. First you have to “Export as OVF” and then choose the “OVA” option from the menu.
Since it says “single file” the best option may be B.
OVF = Individual Files
OVA = Archive of Multiple files.
In addition to the OVF descriptor, the OVF package will typically contain one or more disk images, and optionally certificate files and other auxiliary files. The entire directory can be distributed as an OVA package, which is a tar archive file with the OVF directory inside.
B : Export as OVA
