2V0-620 · Question #135

From which two locations in the inventory hierarchy can you deploy a virtual machine using a template? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. Directly from the template. B. From a compute resource. In vSphere, deploying a VM from a template can be initiated either directly from the template object or from a compute resource such as a host, cluster, or resource pool in the inventory.

Why each option

In vSphere, deploying a VM from a template can be initiated either directly from the template object or from a compute resource such as a host, cluster, or resource pool in the inventory.

ADirectly from the template.Correct

Right-clicking a template directly in the vSphere inventory exposes the 'Deploy VM from This Template' context menu action, making the template itself a valid deployment entry point.

BFrom a compute resource.Correct

Right-clicking a compute resource (host, cluster, or resource pool) in the vSphere inventory provides access to a 'New Virtual Machine' or template-based deployment workflow, allowing the administrator to select a template as the source.

CFrom an existing virtual machine.

Existing virtual machines are not deployment sources for templates; a VM can be converted into a template, but you cannot right-click a running or stopped VM to deploy a new VM from a template.

DFrom a Datastore.

Datastores are storage repositories and do not expose a template deployment workflow in the vSphere inventory; they are used to host the resulting VM files, not to initiate deployments.
