Which set of platforms must be in separate VMs as of release 16.1?

vManage and vSmart are often deployed separately but the strict requirement for separate VMs as of release 16.1 specifically highlights vBond and vSmart.

WAN Edge devices are data plane elements and are typically deployed separately from controllers, but this choice doesn't represent the specific controller separation rule for 16.1.

Cisco SD-WAN architecture dictates that vBond orchestrator and vSmart controller instances must run in distinct virtual machines to ensure proper resource allocation and high availability, especially from release 16.1 onwards.

WAN Edge devices are data plane elements, and while vBond is a controller, this pairing does not reflect the specific controller separation rule.
