An administrator configures a lease policy with the following settings:
* Maximum lease (days): 10
* Maximum total lease (days): 30
* Grace period (days): 5
If a user does not respond to any emails, after how many days will the deployment be destroyed?
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).
