NSX provides the networking, security, and load-balancing services needed for high availability, while vSphere Supervisor enables Kubernetes integration alongside VMs, allowing you to run and manage containerized workloads on the same platform.

A new VM storage policy needs to be created in the vSphere Client to define specific requirements for the storage configuration, including tolerance for two host failures.
Once the storage policy is created, it must be applied to the specific virtual machines that require the storage configuration that tolerates two host failures.
To ensure the storage configuration tolerates two host failures efficiently, RAID-6 (Erasure Coding) is the appropriate choice. RAID-6 can tolerate two host failures while minimizing resource usage compared to other configurations like RAID-1.

NIST-based hardening guides, ISO 27001-aligned RBAC, and ITIL-driven audits and patching all intersect with VMware security and operational best practices. CO2 emissions (C) are environmental considerations, not typically covered under VMware's security/operational standards.

Using vCenter performance charts to monitor disk read/write latencies and IOPS is typically the first step in diagnosing storage performance problems.
