2V0-71.23 Question 222
Select 3You are deploying a Tanzu Kubernetes Cluster and need to choose a Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin. The cluster requires support for Network Policy enforcement, high performance, and compatibility with hybrid cloud environments. Which CNI plugins would meet these requirements?
- A
Calico
- B
Flannel
- C
Antrea
- D
Weave Net
- E
NSX-T
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
The requirements specify the need for Network Policy enforcement, high performance, and hybrid cloud compatibility. Calico, Antrea, and NSX-T fulfill these needs. Calico is known for its robust policy management and scalability, Antrea is optimized for Tanzu and Kubernetes environments, and NSX-T offers enterprise-level networking features. Flannel and Weave Net lack one or more of these critical capabilities, making them unsuitable for this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Calico is a widely-used CNI plugin that supports Network Policy enforcement and is known for its high performance and compatibility with hybrid cloud environments.
- B. Incorrect.
Flannel is a simpler CNI plugin focused on basic networking and does not support Network Policy enforcement, making it less suitable for this scenario.
- C. Correct.
Antrea, developed by VMware, is designed for Kubernetes and Tanzu environments. It supports Network Policy enforcement and offers high performance, making it a good fit for the requirements.
- D. Incorrect.
Weave Net is a functional CNI plugin but does not prioritize high performance or advanced Network Policy capabilities. It is less adaptable to hybrid cloud contexts.
- E. Correct.
NSX-T is VMware’s enterprise-grade networking solution that provides advanced features like Network Policy enforcement, high performance, and seamless hybrid cloud integration.
