Municipal elections IT virtualizes the network in the city's SDDC and asks whether east-west and north-south traffic still apply. What should the operator identify?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Virtualizing the network is like putting the city's streets in software—it does not erase "across town" versus "out the city limits." East-west is still VM-to-VM; north-south is still in and out. The maps just live in NSX instead of only on the core chassis.
Full Explanation
Software-defined networking does not abolish traffic direction. East-west remains communication among workloads, such as election web to database VMs, typically handled by distributed switching, routing, and firewalling. North-south remains communication toward the physical network or external users, typically via Tier-0 and Edge services. Both still exist in an SDDC; they are implemented as software services rather than only as hardware paths.
