I heard D is just software-based, not really secure enough.

I vaguely remember Software-only Encryption being discussed, but I thought it was more about data in transit. Not sure if it applies here.

Cluster-only Encryption sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it's specifically for Data-at-Rest. It might be a trick option.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like Data-only Encryption was mentioned as a key option. Could that be it?

I think I remember something about Storage Pool-only Encryption being a feature, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right answer.

Cluster-only encryption seems like a reasonable option, but I'm not familiar with Nutanix's specific encryption capabilities. I'll have to make an educated guess on this one.

Data-only encryption sounds like it could be the right answer, but I'm not 100% confident. I'll make a note to research this topic further.

If it's not A) Storage Pool-only Encryption, I'm going to be really bummed. That's just such a Nutanix kind of thing to do, you know? Simplify and optimize the storage layer.

Wait, wait, wait. Didn't we learn that Nutanix loves their software-defined solutions? I'm going with D) Software-only Encryption. Gotta keep up with the latest tech trends, you know?
