2V0-71.23 Question 329
Select 4You are deploying a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG) cluster in a production environment and need to ensure high availability and advanced traffic management for your workloads. Which NSX Advanced Load Balancer (ALB) features can you utilize to meet these requirements?
- A
Layer 4 and Layer 7 load balancing
- B
Application analytics and performance monitoring
- C
Automatic scaling of TKG worker nodes based on traffic
- D
Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB)
- E
Built-in WAF (Web Application Firewall) functionality
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D, E
Explanation
NSX Advanced Load Balancer provides a comprehensive set of features for managing application traffic, including Layer 4 and Layer 7 load balancing, application analytics, GSLB, and built-in WAF. These features collectively ensure high availability, observability, security, and global traffic management. However, the scaling of TKG worker nodes is not within the scope of NSX ALB and is handled by Kubernetes or Tanzu-specific mechanisms.
- A. Correct.
Layer 4 and Layer 7 load balancing is a core feature of the NSX Advanced Load Balancer, enabling efficient traffic distribution and application-aware routing for high availability.
- B. Correct.
NSX ALB provides application analytics and performance monitoring, allowing for improved observability and troubleshooting in production environments.
- C. Incorrect.
While NSX ALB manages traffic and load balancing, scaling TKG worker nodes is managed by Kubernetes or Tanzu-specific autoscaling mechanisms, not the ALB itself.
- D. Correct.
Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) is supported by NSX ALB, enabling traffic distribution across multiple geographic locations for disaster recovery and optimal performance.
- E. Correct.
NSX ALB includes built-in Web Application Firewall (WAF) functionality to enhance security by protecting applications from common web-based attacks.
