After adding a new vSphere ESXi host with identical hardware configuration to an existing vSphere cluster, which task would an administrator complete prior to checking the compliance with an existing host profile?
The sequence required to create a host profile from a reference host, apply the host profile to a host or cluster and check compliance against the host profile is as follows:
Set up and configure the reference host.
Create a host profile from the reference host.
Attach hosts or clusters to the host profile.
Check the compliance to the host profile. If all hosts are compliant with the reference host, they are correctly configured.
Apply (remediate)

The problem *I have* with this question is that by merely adding a new host (the same or NOT) to a cluster, you'd still have to pick a host to extract a host profile from to put it TOWARD the new host. So why wouldn't we "duplicate or export" a profile from another host and put it toward the new one? or are they skipping that step to go "attach the host profile to the new host?"
Host Profiles can be applied to individual hosts, a cluster, or all the hosts and clusters associated to a host profile. Applying a Host Profile to a cluster affects all hosts in the cluster and result in a consistent configuration across the applied hosts.
