2V0-71.23 Question 333
Select 3A VMware Tanzu administrator is deploying NSX Advanced Load Balancer (ALB) to manage traffic for a Kubernetes cluster. Which of the following are key components of the NSX Advanced Load Balancer architecture?
- A
Service Engines
- B
Controller Cluster
- C
Ingress Controllers
- D
Data Plane Nodes
- E
Virtual Services
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, E
Explanation
NSX Advanced Load Balancer (ALB) consists of several critical components. The Service Engines act as the data plane, handling traffic processing, while the Controller Cluster is the central management plane, handling configuration and monitoring. Virtual Services define the logical endpoints for traffic management. These components work together to efficiently distribute and manage application traffic in environments such as Kubernetes clusters.
- A. Correct.
Service Engines are the data plane entities in NSX ALB, responsible for processing and distributing traffic. They are a fundamental component of the system.
- B. Correct.
The Controller Cluster is the central management plane of NSX ALB, responsible for configuration, monitoring, and automation of the load balancing processes.
- C. Incorrect.
Ingress Controllers are specific to Kubernetes and manage HTTP/S traffic into the cluster. While NSX ALB can integrate with Kubernetes Ingress, Ingress Controllers are not a core component of NSX ALB itself.
- D. Incorrect.
Data Plane Nodes are not a term used in NSX ALB architecture, making this option incorrect.
- E. Correct.
Virtual Services represent the configuration for applications or workloads that the NSX ALB will manage traffic for. They are a key logical entity in the system.
