Which AOS component is responsible for monitoring and eliminating hots-pots within the cluster?

The correct answer isB. Acropolis Dynamic Scheduling (ADS).

Acropolis Dynamic Scheduling (ADS)is a core component in Nutanix AOS responsible for:

Monitoring real-time resource utilization.

Identifying hotspotssuch as CPU/memory/storage contention.

Automatically initiatingVM migration (live)tobalance workloadsacross hosts in the cluster.

Clarification of Other Options:

A. Cerebro:Responsible for replication, snapshots, and consistency.

C. Chronos:Manages scheduling of distributed tasks (not resource balancing).

D. CVM:Hosts the AOS services butdoes not perform workload balancing.
