Question
An administrator is deploying a new virtual desktop environment onto an existing Nutanix solution. The virtual desktop environment will consist of these elements:
1000 instant clone call center virtual desktops (supporting 5 business units) 500 full clone developer virtual desktops (supporting 2 business units) 150 applications delivered via AppStacks (supporting 7 business units) How many storage containers should be created to support these workloads?

Explanation
Nutanix best practice for VDI storage containers is to align containers to workload I/O and deduplication profiles. Three containers are optimal here: (1) one for the 1,000 instant clone desktops - these share a base disk and benefit heavily from deduplication and compression; (2) one for the 500 full clone developer desktops - full clones have unique data per VM and see little dedup benefit, so a separate container with different compression/dedup settings avoids wasting metadata overhead; (3) one for the 150 AppStacks - these are read-only, shared application packages with a completely different I/O profile. Separating them avoids I/O interference and allows independent snapshot/replication policies. Consolidating all into fewer containers would sacrifice per-workload optimization.
