VMware 3V0-42.23 Practice Test 1

What is the effect of stateful services placement on NSX Edge design?
It has stateless services applications that cannot run with stateful applications.
It affects the scalability of the Edge cluster and performance of Edge nodes.
It reduces the need for load balancing in the Edge cluster.
It determines the complexity of the Edge cluster and size of Edge node.
Impact of Stateful Services on NSX Edge Cluster (Correct Answer - B):
Stateful services (NAT, FW, LB, VPN) require additional processing power, impacting Edge node performance.
More stateful services means higher CPU and memory utilization, affecting scalability.
Edge Cluster design must balance stateful workloads to avoid performance degradation.
Incorrect Options:
(A - Stateless services cannot run with stateful applications):
Stateful and stateless services can coexist on NSX Edge, but require careful placement.
(C - Reduces the need for load balancing):
Load balancing is still needed, even if stateful services exist.
(D - Determines complexity of Edge cluster size):
While it adds complexity, the primary impact is on performance and scalability.
