deployment location for vShield endpoints (compute or management cluster? or both?)

[i1wan]

Hi,

I am trying to deploy some vShield endpoints.

I have the following clusters:

• Compute Cluster A
• Compute Cluster B
• Management & Edge Cluster

Om what cluster do we need to implement the vShield endpoints typically?

Is it on all of them? Or only the Compute clusters? Or only the management cluster?

That answer depends on what you are trying to enable by deploying vShield Endpoints.  They are deployed on each host.  You would deploy the vShield Endpoint VMs on any host that will need the services that vShield Endpoint.

Note:  with NSX 6.1, vShield Endpoint has been upgraded to Guest Introspection.

Usually I would run the (production) VM's on the compute clusters, so I guess the endpont deployment should be done on that hosts ...
