Exhibit.

No, the Virtual Appliances (VAs) should not reside in A, which represents the SailPoint cloud environment. VAs are typically deployed in the on-premises network to interface directly with internal resources like Active Directory, databases, and applications. The cloud environment is where IdentityNow services are hosted, but the VAs need to be positioned closer to on-premise resources to manage identity synchronization and provisioning tasks.

Key Reference from SailPoint Documentation:

VA Placement Recommendations: Virtual Appliances are deployed in the on-premise network rather than the cloud, to ensure they have direct and secure access to internal resources.
