Video Transcript
Management and control planes– in NSX, the management plane and control plane are part of a single NSX management cluster. The management plane provides the REST API and web-based UI interface for all user configuration. The control plane manages computing and distributing the network runtime state.
About the NSX management cluster– the NSX management cluster is formed by a group of three NSX manager nodes for high availability and scalability. The NSX manager appliance has the built-in policy manager and controller roles. The management plane includes the policy and manager roles. The central control plane includes the controller role. The desired state is replicated in the distributed persistence database, providing the same configuration view to all nodes in the cluster.
