A Consistency Group is a Nutanix construct that groups multiple VMs together so they can be snapshotted simultaneously at the same point in time, ensuring a crash-consistent (or application-consistent) state across all members. This is critical for multi-tier applications (e.g.,

Explanation

A Consistency Group is a Nutanix construct that groups multiple VMs together so they can be snapshotted simultaneously at the same point in time, ensuring a crash-consistent (or application-consistent) state across all members. This is critical for multi-tier applications (e.g., a web server and its database) that must be captured together. Volume Groups are for shared block storage. Categories are metadata tags used for policy assignment. Time Stream is not a Nutanix feature name for this purpose-snapshot scheduling is handled via Protection Domains or policies.
