Which functionality does the Cloud Native Storage (CNS) component take advantage of to support the creation of container volumes?
A. First Class Disk
B. VMware Disk Encryption
C. Virtual Disk
D. Storage Based Policy Management
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Cloud Native Storage server resides in vCenter Server:
• Provisions and manages life cycle operations for container volumes
• Creates First Class Disks (FCDs) to support the container volumes
• First Class Disks exist as .vmdk and -flat.vmdk files on a vSphere datastore • Integrates with storage policy based management (SPBM) for the placement of disks A First Class Disk (FCD) is also called an improved virtual disk. It is a named virtual disk that is unassociated with a VM. These disks reside on a VMFS, NFS, or vSAN datastore and support container volumes.
Storage policy based management (SPBM) is a vCenter Server service that supports provisioning of persistent volumes according to specified storage requirements. After provisioning, the service monitors compliance of the volume with the required policy characteristics.
