Which option describes Arista's micro-segmentation?

Question

Options

• AArista and VMware are extending secure segmentation with an open API (RESTZJSON)-
• BArista and Kubernetes are extending secure segmentation with an open API (RESTVJSON)-
• CArista's micro-segmentation and macro-segmentation are identical concepts that can be used
• DArista and VMware both perform identical functions for NGFW micro-segmentation

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  90% (36)
• C
  5% (2)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option B is correct because Arista's micro-segmentation solution integrates specifically with Kubernetes - not VMware - to extend secure segmentation using an open REST/JSON API, enabling granular workload-level security policies in cloud-native environments.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A incorrectly names VMware as the partner for this micro-segmentation API integration; VMware is associated with Arista's macro-segmentation work (e.g., NSX), not the micro-segmentation REST/JSON extension.
• C is false by definition - micro-segmentation operates at the individual workload/application level, while macro-segmentation operates at the broader network/zone level; they are distinct concepts with different granularity and use cases.
• D is wrong because Arista and VMware do not perform identical NGFW micro-segmentation functions - they serve complementary but different roles in the security architecture.

Memory tip: Think "Kubernetes = Keeps it micro" - Kubernetes manages containers at a fine-grained level, which maps naturally to micro-segmentation, while VMware/NSX maps to the broader macro layer.
