An administrator configures a lease policy with the following settings: • Maximum lease (days): 10 • Maximum total lease (days): 30 • Grace period…

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).
