Explanation

Zookeeper is the distributed coordination service that stores and manages the authoritative cluster configuration in Nutanix. It maintains a consistent, replicated configuration state across all CVMs, providing the single source of truth for cluster topology, node membership, and settings. All other cluster services consult Zookeeper to discover current cluster state. Cassandra (A) is the distributed metadata store used for data location and block maps. Stargate (B) is the data I/O manager that handles read/write operations to the storage fabric. Zeus (D) is Nutanix's configuration management layer that reads from and writes to Zookeeper-Zeus is the interface, but Zookeeper is the underlying component responsible for storing and maintaining the configuration.
