In a VMware Cloud Foundation environment, which of the following components can be managed through SDDC Manager? (Choose two)

Question

Options

• AVMware Aria Suite components
• BNSX Edge clusters
• CvCenter Server settings
• DvSAN storage policies

• A
  77% (20)
• C
  15% (4)
• D
  8% (2)

Explanation

SDDC Manager serves as the central lifecycle and configuration management plane for the VCF stack, which is why A and B are correct: it can deploy and manage VMware Aria Suite components (Aria Operations, Aria Automation, etc.) as integrated VCF services, and it directly handles NSX Edge cluster deployment and configuration as part of the network virtualization layer.

Option C is wrong because while SDDC Manager manages the lifecycle of vCenter Server (patching, upgrades), individual vCenter Server settings - such as cluster configurations and VM management - are handled directly through the vCenter Server UI or API.

Option D is wrong because vSAN storage policies are created and managed within vCenter Server (under the vSAN/Policies interface), not through SDDC Manager; SDDC Manager only orchestrates vSAN provisioning during workload domain creation.

Memory tip: Think of SDDC Manager as managing the Stack Deployment Decisions Centrally - it owns the big infrastructure pieces (Aria Suite, NSX Edge) but hands off granular operational settings (storage policies, vCenter configs) to the native tools of each product.
