Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
NSX Advanced Load Balancer (formerly Avi Networks) consists of several key components, including the Controller, Service Engines, and Virtual Services. The Controller manages the overall system, while Service Engines handle data-plane traffic, and Virtual Services represent the load-balanced applications. Other entities like Data Plane Switches and Kubernetes CNI Plugins are not part of the NSX ALB architecture, making them incorrect choices in this scenario.
- A. Correct.
The Controller is a critical component of NSX Advanced Load Balancer, responsible for central management, configuration, and orchestration of load-balancing services.
- B. Correct.
Service Engines are lightweight, distributed load balancers that handle traffic processing and provide high availability and scalability.
- C. Incorrect.
Data Plane Switch is not a component of NSX Advanced Load Balancer; it is more relevant to general networking and NSX-T Data Center.
- D. Correct.
Virtual Services represent applications being load-balanced by NSX ALB and are a fundamental part of the architecture.
- E. Incorrect.
Kubernetes CNI Plugin is used to manage networking for Kubernetes pods, but it is not part of the NSX Advanced Load Balancer architecture.
