Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
The NSX Edge cluster is designed for services related to North-South traffic, including routing, load balancing, and VPN connectivity. It is not responsible for East-West traffic within the virtual environment or the distributed firewall, as these are managed by other NSX components such as the Distributed Router and Distributed Firewall.
