Which three pre-requisites must be met to enable the workload placement feature between vRealize Automation Cloud and vRealize Operations Cloud? (Choose three.)
The correct answer is B. Both vRealize Automation Cloud and vRealize Operations Cloud must manage the same Cloud D. In vRealize Automation Cloud, the target Cloud Zone Placement Policy must be set to F. All clusters within the target Cloud Zone must have fully automated VMware DRS enabled. Workload placement between vRealize Automation Cloud and vROps Cloud requires three specific conditions to function: both platforms must manage the same Cloud Account (B) so they share visibility into the same infrastructure; the Cloud Zone Placement Policy must be set to…

Explanation
Workload placement between vRealize Automation Cloud and vROps Cloud requires three specific conditions to function: both platforms must manage the same Cloud Account (B) so they share visibility into the same infrastructure; the Cloud Zone Placement Policy must be set to Advanced (D), not SPREAD - Advanced mode is what unlocks vROps-driven intelligent placement decisions; and all clusters must have fully automated DRS (F) so that placement recommendations can actually be executed without manual intervention.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- A is incorrect because the Management Pack for vRA Cloud is not a prerequisite for workload placement integration - the connection is established through the shared cloud account.
- C is wrong because SPREAD policy distributes VMs evenly in round-robin fashion and does not invoke vROps analytics; Advanced is the required policy.
- E is wrong because VMware HA handles failover/availability, not workload placement optimization - DRS (not HA) is the relevant clustering feature here.
Memory tip: Think "BAD" → B, Advanced, DRS - you need the same Base (shared cloud account), Advanced policy (not Spread), and DRS fully automated. If DRS isn't fully automated, vROps can recommend but nothing actually moves.
