But Storage Profiles are still available, right?

No way, Instant Clones are supported. It's definitely B.

I think it's B) Linked Clones. vSAN doesn't support them.

C) Storage Tiers, for sure. vSAN is a different beast, so the storage tiers won't be the same as NFS.

Hmm, I'm going with B) Linked Clones. vSAN is optimized for instant clones, so linked clones might not be available.

I’m a bit confused; I thought all clone types were supported, but I guess Linked Clones might be the one that doesn’t work with vSAN.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like Storage Profiles could be the answer since they might not be compatible with vSAN.

I think Storage Tiers might be the option that’s not available with vSAN, but I could be mixing it up with something else.

This is a tricky one. I'm going to carefully consider each option and think through the differences between NFS and vSAN.

D) Storage Profiles seems like the correct answer. vSAN doesn't have the same granular storage profile options as NFS.

B has to be the right answer. Linked Clones won't work with vSAN since it's a different storage system.
