JNCIA-Cloud: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Cloud — Question 24

Which statement is correct about VNFs?

Answer options

• A. All containers are VNFs
• B. VNFs are inserted into the physical data path when deployed
• C. VNFs are software applications used in Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)
• D. All virtual machines are VNFs

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because VNFs specifically refer to software applications designed for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). Option A is incorrect since not all containers are VNFs; they can be part of a larger infrastructure. Option B is misleading as VNFs do not necessarily need to be inserted into the physical data path upon deployment, and option D is wrong because not all virtual machines are considered VNFs.
