I don't think so, because even for Storage Only node type a Nutanix Controller VM is deployed to manage the storage resources.

But what about Storage Only option, could that be correct as well?

Interesting point, I will go with A) Storage Only as well.

I believe the answer is D) All Flash, because even though it's all flash, it still requires the Nutanix Controller VM.

That makes sense too, as the Nutanix Controller VM is more relevant for hyper-converged nodes.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be C) Compute Only.

I agree, because the Nutanix Controller VM is not needed for just storage nodes.

Alright, team, let's pool our knowledge here. From what I understand, the Nutanix Controller VM is the central brain of the cluster, so it has to be on the nodes that combine compute and storage. That rules out A) Storage Only and C) Compute Only. *pauses* Wait, is D) All Flash a trick question? *laughs* Anyway, I'm going with B) Hyper Converged.

The Nutanix Controller VM is the brain of the system, so it has to be deployed on all node types, right? I'm a bit confused by this question.

I'm not really sure about this one. Nutanix is a complex technology and I'm still learning the ins and outs of it.
