An administrator has been tasked with configuring a new image mapping for Linux deployments within VMware Aria Automation to meet the following…

Create a new Image Mapping within VMware Aria Automation Assembler: This step involves creating

an image mapping that

the base image. It ensures that your deployment configurations

are applied to the correct base image.

Select the original Linux OS Virtual Machine template as the base image: Instead of creating a new

template, use the existing Linux OS template, minimizing the number of templates required.

Add the required configuration into the cloud configuration: This step ensures that additional

configurations, such as creating local users and groups, are applied during the deployment process

irrespective of the cloud template.

Save the image mapping: Finalize and save the image mapping to make it available for use in

deployments.

These steps minimize the number of VM templates by reusing the existing template and ensure that

additional configurations are always applied through the cloud configuration.
