Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the question. I'm not sure I fully understand the concept of endpoint identity groups and how they relate to MAB. I'll need to review that before attempting to answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. I thought critical section groups were used to create a common error handling path for a set of related activities. Let me re-read the question.

Didn't we discuss something about the storage types? I feel like there are restrictions on using NFS shared storage that might cause issues.
