   A company is deploying ECS for a new application that will handle both production and development workloads. The development team frequently runs tests that generate high network traffic, which has historically impacted production performance. The company wants to ensure that development traffic cannot degrade production performance, but they also want to avoid the cost of deploying separate physical switches. What is the most appropriate network separation deployment?

   • AUse separate VLANs for production and development, and configure quality of service (QoS) policies to prioritize production traffic.
   • BPlace production and development on the same VLAN but use different subnets to reduce the impact of broadcast traffic.
   • CUse a single network for both environments and rely on the ECS system's internal throttling to manage the load.
   • DDeploy a dedicated physical switch for the development environment to completely isolate its traffic.

   A company is deploying ECS to support a mission-critical application. The application requires high availability, and the company wants to ensure that a network failure in one part of the data center does not affect the application's ability to reach the ECS nodes. The company has a redundant network architecture with multiple switches and links. What is the most appropriate network separation deployment to support this high-availability requirement?

   • ADeploy the ECS nodes across multiple network switches and use link aggregation (e.g., LACP) to provide redundant paths.
   • BUse a single network switch for all ECS nodes to simplify the configuration.
   • CUse a separate physical network for the ECS nodes, but connect it to the application network through a single router.
   • DPlace all ECS nodes on the same VLAN and rely on the application's retry logic to handle network failures.

   A service provider is designing an ECS-based storage offering for multiple tenants. The provider's service level agreement (SLA) guarantees a specific level of performance (IOPS and throughput) to each tenant. The provider is considering using VLANs to isolate tenants. What is the most critical additional factor to consider to ensure the SLA can be met?

   • AThe physical network infrastructure must have sufficient capacity to handle the aggregate traffic of all tenants without becoming a bottleneck.
   • BThe ECS nodes must be configured with a separate storage pool for each tenant.
   • CEach tenant must use a different encryption key for their data.
   • DEach tenant must be assigned a unique range of IP addresses to ensure routing works correctly.
