A service provider is building an NFVI to host multiple VNFs. They need to ensure that storage performance is sufficient for VNFs that perform heavy read/write operations, such as a virtualized policy server. Which storage configuration is most appropriate for this workload?

Use network-attached storage (NAS) with NFS and no performance guarantees.

Use HDD-based storage with large capacity to minimize cost.

Use storage directly attached to each compute node to avoid network latency.

Use SSD-based storage with low latency and high IOPS, and ensure the storage is on the same network segment as the compute nodes.

What is a key difference between containers and virtual machines?

Containers provide stronger isolation than VMs

Containers are less portable than VMs

Containers require a hypervisor, while VMs do not

Containers share the host OS kernel, while VMs each run their own guest OS
