The vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) is a pre-configured virtual appliance based on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server that runs the vCenter Server and its related services. The VCSA 6.x includes several components that are built-in by default. Two of these components are:

A. vSphere Auto Deploy: vSphere Auto Deploy is a component of vSphere that allows administrators to automate the deployment of ESXi hosts. It enables administrators to deploy multiple ESXi hosts with a pre-configured image and configuration settings. With vSphere Auto Deploy, administrators can quickly provision new ESXi hosts in a stateless manner, which means that the host's configuration is loaded from a centralized repository during boot-up. The vCenter Server Appliance 6.x includes vSphere Auto Deploy as a built-in component.

D. VMware vSphere Update Manager: VMware vSphere Update Manager is a component of vSphere that allows administrators to automate the patching and upgrading of ESXi hosts and virtual machines. It enables administrators to patch and upgrade multiple hosts and VMs in a coordinated and controlled manner. The vCenter Server Appliance 6.x includes vSphere Update Manager as a built-in component.

C. vRealize Orchestrator and B. vCenter Converter are not included in the vCenter Server Appliance 6.x as built-in components.

vRealize Orchestrator is a powerful workflow engine that can be used to automate complex tasks and processes in vSphere environments. It allows administrators to create custom workflows that integrate with vSphere's APIs and automate tasks such as VM provisioning, backup and recovery, and resource allocation. vRealize Orchestrator can be deployed as a separate virtual appliance or as a plug-in to vCenter Server.

vCenter Converter is a standalone tool that allows administrators to convert physical machines and virtual machines from other platforms (such as Hyper-V and XenServer) to VMware virtual machines. It can also be used to perform V2V (virtual-to-virtual) conversions between different versions of VMware products. vCenter Converter is not included in the vCenter Server Appliance 6.x as a built-in component, but it can be downloaded separately from the VMware website.
