350-501 · Question #308

What is the role of NFVI?

The correct answer is C. monitor. NFVI (Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure) provides the hardware and software resources for virtualized network functions (VNFs). Within its capabilities, the NFVI also provides monitoring features for the underlying infrastructure and the VNFs running on it.

Why each option

NFVI (Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure) provides the hardware and software resources for virtualized network functions (VNFs). Within its capabilities, the NFVI also provides monitoring features for the underlying infrastructure and the VNFs running on it.

Adomain name service

Domain Name Service (DNS) is a network function that runs on the NFVI as a Virtual Network Function (VNF), not a role of the infrastructure itself.

Bintrusion detection

Intrusion Detection (ID) is a security network function that runs on the NFVI as a VNF, not a role of the infrastructure itself.

CmonitorCorrect

The Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure (NFVI) is the platform that provides the compute, storage, and networking resources for Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). A key aspect of an NFVI is to provide capabilities to monitor the health, performance, and resource utilization of both the underlying infrastructure and the VNFs running on it, essential for managing the virtualized environment.

Dnetwork address translation

Network Address Translation (NAT) is a network function that runs on the NFVI as a VNF, not a role of the infrastructure itself.
