Domain 3: Service Broker and Catalog
2 topics
Catalog Management
- Apply Service Broker catalog configuration with content sources, catalog items, custom forms, and project-based entitlements.
- Apply custom form design with dynamic fields, validation rules, computed defaults, and conditional visibility for catalog requests.
- Analyze catalog item availability issues and entitlement conflicts preventing users from accessing provisioning services.
- Analyze content sharing patterns between projects and determine appropriate sharing policies for multi-team environments.
- Design a self-service catalog strategy with curated catalog items, custom forms, and streamlined request workflows for developer productivity.
Governance and Approval
- Apply approval policies with multi-level chains, conditional approvers, and timeout actions for catalog request governance.
- Apply lease policies, resource quotas, naming templates, and deployment limits to prevent resource sprawl and enforce standards.
- Analyze governance policy effectiveness using deployment audit trails and resource utilization reports.
- Analyze cost estimation integration for providing request-time cost visibility to requesters and approvers.
- Design a governance framework specifying approval chains, lease policies, quotas, and compliance reporting for enterprise cloud operations.
4
Domain 4: Extensibility
2 topics
ABX and Event Subscriptions
- Apply ABX action development in Python, Node.js, or PowerShell for custom automation triggered by deployment lifecycle events.
- Apply event subscription configuration to trigger ABX actions, Orchestrator workflows, or webhooks on provisioning and day-2 events.
- Analyze ABX action execution logs, input/output payloads, and error traces to troubleshoot extensibility failures.
- Analyze event topic filtering and condition expressions to determine which subscriptions fire for specific deployment scenarios.
- Design an extensibility architecture specifying ABX actions, event subscriptions, and external integrations for custom automation workflows.
Orchestrator and Terraform
- Apply Aria Orchestrator workflow development for complex multi-step automation spanning VMware and third-party systems.
- Apply Terraform integration with Aria Automation for managing infrastructure using HCL alongside YAML cloud templates.
- Analyze Orchestrator workflow execution failures including action element errors, input binding issues, and exception handling.
- Analyze the tradeoffs between ABX actions, Orchestrator workflows, and Terraform for different automation complexity levels.
- Design an automation strategy selecting the appropriate tools (ABX, Orchestrator, Terraform, Ansible) for different use cases.
5
Domain 5: Day-2 Operations
2 topics
Resource Management
- Apply day-2 resource actions including resize, reconfigure, snapshot, power management, and custom actions on deployed resources.
- Apply deployment-level actions including update (change template version), delete, change owner, and change lease for lifecycle management.
- Analyze resource reclamation opportunities using deployment utilization data and lease expiration reports.
- Analyze day-2 action execution failures caused by insufficient permissions, resource constraints, or template version incompatibilities.
- Design a day-2 operations strategy with resource governance, reclamation policies, and cost optimization automation.
