As I know new features has added to new version of ESxi 8.0 1- Device groups : According to articles we user from this feature when we want to assign more than one physical device to one VM. Is that correct ? 2- Device Virtualization Extensions : As I find out we use this feature instead of passthrough to assign one device directly to a VM but on this mode we can use vmware features such as vMotion, DRS , ... ? Is that correct ? Does it support specific devices? for example if I want use NIC for passthrough How can find out if that is support Device Virtualization Extensions or not ?

Thanks but as I want use dedup or compression so must set OSR=0 or 100 but according to this KB : https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/52839 1- recommendation is use OSR=0 to increase dedup or compression ratio . Is that correct ? 2- but this mentions just for vsan 6.6 and before that . Does it also about vSAN 7 U3 ? 3- Disadvantages of using OSR=0 is we may surprise for vmdk size and cannot monitor it

I want to know what is vSAN EPD ? I could just find this " EPD (Entry Persistence Daemon) is a user space daemon that runs on every host that is part of the vSAN cluster. The main job of EPD is to make sure there is no component leakage when objects are deleted. " Would you please give an example about this "there is no component leakage when objects are deleted."? What does mean components leakage ?
