Answers Every 3V0-32.23 Candidate Should Read First
The VMware Cloud Management and Automation Advanced Design exam is the official VMware test registered under exam code 3V0-32.23. Passing it earns you the VCAP-CMA Design certification, a credential at the Advanced Professional (VCAP) level. It is also linked to the related certifications: VCP-DCV (VMware Certified Professional - Data Center Virtualization), VCAP-DCV (VMware Certified Advanced Professional - Data Center Virtualization), VCTA-DCV (VMware Certified Technical Associate). VMware exams are valued because they test job-ready skills, so a passing score here carries real weight on a resume.
The VMware Cloud Management and Automation Advanced Design exam includes 85 questions to be completed within 135-165. Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.
To pass the VMware Cloud Management and Automation Advanced Design exam you need 300/500, and the official registration fee is $250 USD. A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full $250 USD again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the ActualCollection practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.
Recommended: VCP-DCV certification and 3-5 years experience with VMware vSphere and vRealize Suite

VMware Cloud Management and Automation Advanced Design Sample Questions:
IT Services would like to automate the allocation of software applications. The company uses a modern virtual desktop platform with software management capabilities, and the platform supports interoperability via a REST API.
The following requirements have been established for this project:
- Business users will use a self-service portal to request software added to their existing system.
- The requestor may select one or more software applications from a list during the request.
- The software application list must be up-to-date.
- The virtual desktop team will provide REST API calls needed to interface with the existing platform.
Which three of these listed elements are required for this scenario? (Choose three.)
- A. Resource action
- B. External value definition
- C. Resource mapping
- D. vRealize Orchestrator workflow with script action
- E. Customization of XaaS form
Correct Answer: A,C,D 🗳️
An architect has been tasked with designing a vRealize Automation blueprint that includes Linux machines. The design includes a requirement that all newly-created machines be added to the corporate DNS.
Which two design specifications will address the needs of this scenario? (Choose two.)
- A. Create an XaaS blueprint that adds the machine to DNS and then builds the machine.
- B. Use custom properties on each machine within the blueprint that provides the details for adding the machine to the corporate DNS.
- C. Create an Event Broker subscription that runs an appropriate vRealize Orchestrator workflow during an appropriate machine lifecycle state.
- D. Add and configure the appropriate XaaS component into the machine blueprint.
Correct Answer: B,D 🗳️
A company has recently implemented a DevOps strategy amongst the development and operations teams. In the second phase of the project, it needs to apply the same best practices of version control, unit testing, and continuous delivery to its vSphere infrastructure.
Considering the scenario, which two statements are true regarding the solution? (Choose two.)
- A. Infrastructure content is usually binary, and this makes it difficult to use a source control system to handle updates and merges. A different tool must be used to manage these requirements.
- B. Multiple steps of imports and exports of infrastructure contents are required for a single change to propagate through the release pipeline from development to production.
- C. Once the movement of such content between environments is automated, consistent results are guaranteed for the deployment of infrastructure components.
- D. Content changes for the infrastructure generally flow from development to multiple test and production environments and are often developed separately by different team members and then merged into a shared environment.
Correct Answer: B,D 🗳️
A cloud architect is tasked with providing a design for integration with a third-party system.
The following requirements have been identified:

- Impacts to the vRealize Automation virtual machine request screen's performance should be minimized.
What would be the best solution to meet these requirements?
- A. Design a schedule vRO workflow to read values from the third-party and store in vRO, Create a vRO action to return application values stored in vRO as "ArrayString", Create a Display drop-down custom property with external valuesand map it to the vRO action.
- B. Create a Display drop-down custom property with external values and provide AJAX call information to the third-party system.
- C. Create a vRO action to return application values as "ArrayString" by reading from the third-party system dynamically, Create a display drop-down custom property with external values and map it to the vRO action.
- D. Design a schedule vRealize Orchestrator (vRO) workflow to read values from the third-party system and store in vRO, Create a vRO action to return application values stored in vRO as "Properties", Create a Display drop-down customproperty with external values and map it to the vRO action.
