VMware Aria Automation Assembler allows for various post-deployment management actions, often referred to as 'Day 2 operations.' Among these actions, two significant ones that can be performed on a machine-based deployment are resizing the deployment and powering off the deployment:Resize the deployment: This action enables administrators to adjust the resource allocation of a virtual machine, such as increasing or decreasing CPU, memory, or storage resources. This capability is crucial for adapting to changing workload demands and optimizing performance and resource utilization.Power off the deployment: This action allows administrators to shut down a virtual machine safely. It is a basic but essential operation for managing the state of virtual machines, facilitating maintenance, and controlling resource usage.These actions provide flexibility and control over the deployed infrastructure, allowing administrators to manage and optimize their environments effectively.VMware Aria Automation: Nested OOTB Day 2 Actions with Resource ActionsVMware Aria Operations for Networks Deployment

In VMware Aria Automation Assembler, tags are critical for managing, analyzing, monitoring, and grouping deployed resources. Among the various types of tags, the standard tag is automatically applied during the provisioning of some deployments. These standard tags are essential for supporting the analysis, monitoring, and grouping of deployed resources.Standard tags in VMware Aria Automation are system-generated and stored as custom properties. They are used primarily for tracking and managing resources post-deployment. Unlike user-defined tags, standard tags are automatically applied and are not used during the deployment configuration to enforce constraints or capabilities. Instead, they facilitate operational functions such as monitoring resource usage, ensuring compliance, and optimizing resource management.Other types of tags, like constraint tags and capability tags, are user-defined and are crucial during the deployment process for determining resource allocation and meeting specific requirements or constraints. However, standard tags serve a distinct purpose by providing a consistent way to monitor and group resources after they have been provisioned.ReferenceUsing Automation Assembler project tags and custom propertiesTagging Design for VMware Aria Automation AssemblerHow do I use tags to manage Cloud Assembly resources and deployments

For the VMware Aria Automation onboarding plan to run successfully, two critical pre-requisites must be met:Add the cloud account and create cloud zones for compute resources where machines to be onboarded are located: This ensures that the necessary cloud infrastructure is available and properly configured for onboarding.Cloud zones represent specific regions or sets of resources within the cloud provider that will host the onboarded machines.Create a project with at least one user and give the project access to the cloud zones: Projects in VMware Aria Automation define boundaries for resource usage, permissions, and policies. By assigning at least one user to the project and ensuring the project has access to the relevant cloud zones, the onboarding process can allocate and manage resources as needed within the defined scope.These steps ensure that the infrastructure and permissions are correctly set up to support the onboarding of virtual machines, providing a smooth and controlled process for integrating existing resources into VMware Aria Automation.VMware Aria Automation DocumentationVMware Aria Suite Overview

In VMware Aria Automation, lease policies dictate how long a deployment remains active. The lease policy consists of three primary parameters:Maximum lease (days): 10 - This is the maximum number of days a deployment can stay active before it must be renewed.Maximum total lease (days): 30 - This is the cumulative maximum number of days a deployment can be renewed to stay active.Grace period (days): 5 - This is the number of additional days provided after the lease expires for the user to take action before the deployment is destroyed.With the above settings, the deployment will follow this timeline:Initially, the deployment is active for the maximum lease period of 10 days.After 10 days, if not renewed, the deployment enters the grace period.During the grace period, which lasts for 5 days, the deployment remains active but is marked for deletion.If the user does not respond or renew the lease, the deployment is destroyed at the end of the grace period.Therefore, after the 30-day maximum total lease (10 days initially + maximum 20 days of renewals), an additional 5-day grace period is provided. The total period before the deployment is destroyed is 35 days (30 days + 5 days).ReferenceVMware Aria Automation: Demystifying Lease PolicyVMware Aria Automation Lease PoliciesGetting Started with Automation Assembler using the VMware Aria Automation Launchpad
