A water-utility edge switch must run a small monitoring app on the network device itself. Which framework provides that on-box application hosting?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
IOx is the guest apartment on the switch—apps live there through the CAF hosting framework, not as an RPM bolted onto IOS itself or a laptop Docker build.
Full Explanation
Cisco IOx is officially described as the application-hosting / CAF framework that lets an app run on the network device. Installing an RPM on the supervisor IOS is not IOx hosting. Domain 4 Docker-on-a-laptop topics are separate from on-device hosting. Layer-2 features such as STP are not the hosting framework.
