A company is planning to implement NSX-T Data Center and will be using load balancing for 50 unique production workloads.
Which is the minimum NSX-T Edge size configuration required to support the production load balancer?
A. Large (8 vCPU 16GB RAM)
B. Medium (4 vCPU 8GB RAM)
C. Extra Large (12 vCPU 24GB RAM)
D. Small (2 vCPU 4GB RAM)
I think for 50 production workloads (50 Virtual Machines), you need at most 25 Virtual Servers (VIP) to load balance pairs of VMs, so Small will not be enough. A medium LB will require a Large Edge VM so the answer should be A.
If “50 unique production workloads” means “50 pool members,” you need small load balancer and Medium edge VM.
If “50 unique production workloads” means “50 virtual servers,” you need medium load balancer and Large edge VM.
A is correct, the question says: Min NSX-T edge size? so must be large, large supports medium Load balancer that support the 50 vms o workloads.
Answer is B , because
small LB is 10
Medium LB is 100
Large LB is 1000
if “50 unique production workloads” means 50 VMs, the “pool member” is 50 also. So, the medium edge with small loadbalance would be enough.
B

Depends what you mean by production workloads. I read that as 50 virtual servers, not 50 VMs
In that case Answer is A
Medium Edge can only support Small LB, Small LB can only support 20 virtual servers.
Medium LB can support upto 100 virtual servers, which means Large Edge node (RAM should be 32GB)
I agree, 50 unique production workloads implies the requirement for 50 virtual servers.

Answer is A, thanks D.
Medium NSX-T Edge size can only support a Small Load Balancer that has capacity for 20 virtual servers (unique workloads), a Large NSX-T Edge can support a Medium Load Balancer with capacity for 100 virtual servers.
