Answers
D.

One search head with both ITSI and ES installed.

Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

The correct topology to ensure a scalable and performant deployment for the customer's use case istwo search head clusters, one for ITSI and one for ES. This configuration provides high availability, load balancing, and isolation for each Splunk app.According to the Splunk documentation1, ITSI and ES should not be installed on the same search head or search head cluster, as they have different requirements and may interfere with each other.Having two separate search head clusters allows each app to have its own dedicated resources and configuration, and avoids potential conflicts and performance issues1. The other options are not recommended, as they either have only one search head or search head cluster, which reduces the availability and scalability of the deployment, or they have both ITSI and ES installed on the same search head or search head cluster, which violates the best practices and may cause problems. Therefore, option B is the correct answer, and options A, C, and D are incorrect.
